Well, I'm back from the absence. I read alot of the responses from the pervious post of my reasons for mecha. Quite interesting but still I'm in Mecha because I like to see a walking light tank destroy fixed strong fortications in supposed hard terrain that only legged animals and humans can get through. I'm still don't like armchair professional military types or terrorists who think strong forts are the god bastions against a mobile military unit. Beside I like to see defending soldier's face turn to sheer terror when his weapon shots at a large walking robot or armoured soldier and see it or him or her fall down only to see it or him or her get up and walk up and tears a bigger hole than that soldier's weapon port or pulls out a big cannon and blows that pillbox away. So until the US Army ground FCS(Future Combat System) is finished to bring the next evolutionary step in AFVs, more walking mechas or hardsuits for the combat-crazy boys or girls in BDUs.
