jesseg88 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Imagine this: You find yourself in a military base and are allowed to drive either a tank or a mech. What a tough choice. Which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Well I GB all your vehicles are called mechs, even the ones that are look like tanks. So I would have to say mech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Antilles Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Now if it's Mechwarrior your talking about, I'd say "mech". It also depends on the mission objectives and the choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oninosensi Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Depends on what universe or world you want the tanks or mecha in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gamma732 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Tanks and Mechs. The aim of both is to be a sort of portable artillery. I'd go for mechs. For the most part, mechs do the same job as tanks, but with the added psychological fear they can inspire in an opponent. What is more intimidating, a fleet of tanks rolling towards your base, or a horde of walking mechs coming at you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Well in actuallity a tank is probably the best choice. It can treverse all different types of terrain, exept snow... And it has a lower profile so it can't be hit as easily or seen as easily... Mechs have trouble on water, certain tanks can float, have trouble on Mud, and on rocks. What is more intimidating, a fleet of tanks rolling towards your base, or a horde of walking mechs coming at you? Okay if I had a bunch of tanks that could blast your mechs to ablivion then I wouldn't be intimidated I would be Laughing VERY VERY HARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 x-wing guy is right. I guess mechs. But the question has two of the same answers. Mechs or Mechs? Hard decision:band: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played the Mechwarrior games and mechs DON'T have trouble on mud,snow or rocks. They are even waterproof! (At least in MechWarrior 3) In MechWarrior 4, they can climb steep slopes.

MadPoster Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Why not fly as well? A Rouge from Mekton II could cloak, float silently over to its target on anti-gravity generators, and blow the @#$% outs whatever it chose to with a cannon the unit holds 2 handed, and over the shoulder. Also, the energy force field it produces can stop all but the most powerful of attacks, and it has MBT level armor to stop whatever gets through the field. Go ahead, bring on your Battlemechs. I promise only to shoot you in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On MechWarrior 4 that is the key words there. Mechs are the big thing there and tanks stink...That is only because the game doesn't focus on tanks. The tanks are small and yet they can probably be adapted to hold Long Toms and upgrade the armor to the Mechs type. Plus it will be smaller than a Mech so there less armor to buy and you have a lower profile to the ground so you aren't spotted very easily. Tanks have a deffinate advantage over the MechWarrior 4 mechs. That by the way is only a game. If a Mech has to cross a rocky place it will be very tough...If a mech gets in water it might sink to where it can not move (unlike Mech. 4 that had an unnaturally hard bottom to the water)...I play the Mech Warrior games all the time too, but just consider the tactical not simulator logic behind the Mechs.
