space dandy when

2019-03-05 17:57:51 UTC  

NIGGA let me fight in SPACE

2019-03-05 17:57:56 UTC  

I really do hope for the day of mechs

2019-03-05 17:58:03 UTC  

^

2019-03-05 17:58:25 UTC  

No shit I've had this debate before

2019-03-05 17:58:27 UTC  

oh man

2019-03-05 17:58:37 UTC  

mechs are my pp activator

2019-03-05 17:58:40 UTC  

We all came to the conclusion that nothing over 6m/2 stories will be viable

2019-03-05 17:58:48 UTC  

That's fine

2019-03-05 17:58:51 UTC  

But the problem is that the main people with the time and money to build them don't understand the actual forces at play when:
Heavy metal object A hits heavy metal object B square in the face and there's only a metal cage protecting the pilot

2019-03-05 17:59:01 UTC  

I can see the days where people on forums are bitching over the historical effectivness of mechs in real combat and some fucker buying one used and painting it in Zeon camo

2019-03-05 17:59:05 UTC  

Also, it has to be a flat-top design, like a MWO Direwolf or 40k Warhound

2019-03-05 17:59:17 UTC  

Because CIWS

2019-03-05 17:59:21 UTC  

just strap mirrors on that hoe

2019-03-05 17:59:24 UTC  

all good to go

2019-03-05 17:59:45 UTC  

SUBMARINE mechs is where it's at

2019-03-05 17:59:49 UTC  

Oh, and I btfo the niggas that come at me with the "but joints are hard to armor" bullshit

2019-03-05 17:59:56 UTC  

@RoflTank weelllllllllllll nothing over 6m is viable ***right now***

2019-03-05 18:00:06 UTC  

i want to put a rocket launcher on the dick

2019-03-05 18:00:06 UTC  

or shit like a bipedal mech would just sink

2019-03-05 18:00:24 UTC  

It wouldn't because the ground is not infinitely compressable

2019-03-05 18:00:34 UTC  

Rip pressure

2019-03-05 18:00:35 UTC  

EVERYTHING sinks in mud too

2019-03-05 18:00:40 UTC  

That's why you make your own ground.

2019-03-05 18:00:42 UTC  

Which is a big meme to me

2019-03-05 18:00:43 UTC  

time to flatten

2019-03-05 18:00:59 UTC  

Also, bipedal mechs would only be good for light recon units

2019-03-05 18:01:09 UTC  

You'd want a hexapod for a real combat mech

2019-03-05 18:01:14 UTC  

Depends on how the Warfare evolves

2019-03-05 18:01:14 UTC  

the same people who use the weight argument forget that there were some big as lizards 60million years ago

2019-03-05 18:01:14 UTC  

Because leg redundancy

2019-03-05 18:01:23 UTC

2019-03-05 18:01:41 UTC  

Some 30+ ton lizards with a ground pressure of WAY the fuck higher than a theoretical Mech

2019-03-05 18:01:48 UTC  

Boys we may never live to see the day of combat mechs

2019-03-05 18:02:30 UTC  

Fuck, I really need to get my workshop set up

2019-03-05 18:02:32 UTC  

someone contact Elon musket

2019-03-05 18:02:36 UTC  

@RoflTank pretty sure some of the biggest land based dinos we ever discovered were upwards of 50tons IIRC, so yeah the weight argument is kinda bullshit to the boomers and zoomers that make it

2019-03-05 18:02:43 UTC

2019-03-05 18:02:51 UTC  

The argesaurus or some shit

2019-03-05 18:02:55 UTC  

most bipedal mechs would probably be like the mantis
