I think the consensus is that anime style mechs are physically impossible given how fast and nimble they usually are, but if physics were no object would they be a viable solution to any real world problems?

after “don’t be there”, next layer of survivability onion is “don’t be seen”, there is no advantage to walking robot over something with lower profile, like a normal tank
I love the idea of a survivability onion.
Edit: Lmao it’s real.
“Just win you fucking noob”
I get it’s a joke, but there’s a point.
Modern (western) tanks have tons of safety systems in them, from fire suppression to safe inert storage for ammo and fuel. In theory there’s areas where the newer M1 tanks can be hit and penetrated and it can continue operating. And even if it’s hit in a spot where the tank is disabled, the crew have a really high survival rate.
And if you’re wondering why I specified western tanks, it’s because of Russia. All the tanks they have in operation right now have issues with the entire ammo magazine blowing up when hit, which tosses the entire turret into the air and kills the crew
