lol i like the way you think

I voted Mecha because the idea of a bipedal (or quad, or hex, etc) machine, stomping around a battlefield is far cooler to me than the idea of a tank*.
Whether they be small(ish)...

Bigger....

or fething HUGE...

...they're always cool as heck

For realism, power armor is probably the only one i'd vote for, as it has better mobility than a tank ('specially with jumpy jets) while still having more firepower than your average ground troop.


*Not that tanks aren't cool too!


(Apologies if I annoyed anyone with too many big pics.)

I would say Mecha could be better then tank in regard of use if it were smaller (small enough to go into buildings).

It would be far more effective to support infantry and would be a smaller more agile making it less of a target to anti armour weapons.



Something like this from ghost in the shell would be far more useful then a tank being that it can follow infantry into areas tanks cannot go, but still have deciant fire power to match most light and heavy vehicles and infantry.

im sorry but i just like the thort of walking atv's
