Nah man, a bit of practical realism goes a long way to making a world you can invest yourself in, that's why Marvel movies will always be shit because the people behind them have the same attitude as you.

Why the fuck do tankfags always try to tell /m/fags that mechs aren't practical? Do they seriously think for an instant that /m/fags don't know that?

A massive humanoid form has absolutely no advantage whatsoever in any environment. The Ball makes sense, some of the mobile suits were basically large scale tank tread artillery with arms which made a tiny bit of sense.
Theres no way to shoehorn giant bipeds as useful.

The shitty love story really does bring it down but that's the case in pretty much any Gundam show.

>Game has mechs

Is EDF the only game that does this? No mech has the sheer firepower or comparable armor to the likes of a railgun tank, but mechs have much higher mobility and diverse armaments.

Yep we have, but for naturality, imagine a VR or a Neural shit, is easier for the brain to move someting that has the same articulations of the human body, just bigger, and also is going to be much more accurate, at least more than those arms that have some submarines or laparoscopic stuff used in surgery.

But yeah, I give you the point we aren't the best design, a half mecha with human hands coule be realistic and have a purpose, otherwise I don't see a giant robot fighting with giant guns.

Then why even reply this retardation?
The Yamato is the star of the Yamato and you shouldn't act surprised or upset or talk down other parts of the show that support that. It's like crying about Yamcha losing. He isn't there to win he's there to make stakes for Goku to win.
>hurp durp these fighters sure are boring in a show where the ship is the star
Is just such a dumb fucking statement it's hard to even realize what you're trying to say in the first place.

playing it rn, sucks that they went for chibi look.

What no game gets right is how MIC maintains the weapons race with the constant development of counter tech.
Standard steel armor is vulnerable to high velocity shape charges, so armor systems like Dorchester ERA gets developed.
Even more potent anti tank rockets get produced which can punch right through ERA.
Tanks get updated with relatively low tech counter measures which make the rocket destroy itself on impact and prevent it from penetrating the armor underneath.
Tanks also get outfitted with high speed radar systems that can detect incoming rockets/missiles and automatically shoot clusters of small projectiles in their paths to destroy them before they get too close to the tank
There are new generations of rockets and missiles which are too fast for these systems to stop, or can outright withstand the impact and still deliver a leathal payload.

Its always a cat and mouse game that never ends, and it applies to pretty much everything. Doesn't matter if its rifle ammunition, body armor, airplanes, AA, MBTs, even optics.

Define practical realism when it comes to mechs. Because from my experience even a normie is sated by a simple bit of "believable" momentum in a giant robot's movements. As long as that mech is moving like people imagine it would, even despite the laws of physics being crystal clear that such a thing couldn't exist without crumbling under its own weight, people can suspend their disbelief about it.

Look at Pacific Rim 1 vs 2. Almost all the comments on videos comparing the two by the average cinema goer complains that the Jaegers "felt weightless" in the sequel. How they're moving around like agile ballerinas instead of the slow, plodding giant robots of the original.

A walking tank would be ideal for rough terrain. Two legged ones would be practical in zero gravity or low gravity, and a 4 legged tank would be ideal for earth based operations. Otherwise you're looking at mainly construction purposes for something like a small gundam. One RPG could potentially knock it over if it's the height as a tank is long. Any bigger you're looking at stability problems unless it's built like a madcat, however the problem then becomes an issue if it's too heavy in certain areas to be properly balanced. That's the key is balance. Even a 4 legged tank won't work if it can't be balanced on those 2 legs.

Imagine thinking titanfall is the pinnacle of giant robot fighting. Embarrassing.

A bipedal mech with pivoting center (humanoid) would be infinitely more practical for indoors combat than say, a tracked or wheeled machine.

I could see this happening now full blown wars are gradually getting replaced by low intensity conflicts. Maybe not full on mechs to start but electromechanical augmented armor for human soldiers.

Iron man is mecha.

exosuits are definitely viable

Anything that can fit inside a building like you're describing is either a robot or a suit of power armor, not a mech.

Iron Man is not mecha at all, you nincompoop. He wears the suit, he doesn't pilot it from a cockpit. That makes it power armor and it's considered as such in canon.

Armored Core has infinitely more time invested into at least a feint amount of realism. If we see mechs in our lifetime we are getting AC's with tank legs, spider legs would likely follow.

You're really basing the definition of the word on the board called /mecha/? Toku was just dumped there because it had nowhere else to go and /m/ was the most accepting of it.

They get around it by making it biological, even if they didn’t however all the moving parts of the city that provide the Eva with what it needs, move its parts, construct its guns, are all done in a way that I squint a lot less when shinji and asuka kick an angels heart at the same time

Which is something I can’t say for Code Geass, or GW

titans are nowhere near as strong or as durable as the hulk

"we" don't really exist, if anything our "self" is an unintended byproduct. Our only real purpose is to gather resources like calcium and iron so the little creatures can keep building their structures and repairing their flesh gundam.

Thanks for reminding me I forgot I backed this

>the viability of a sci-fi technology

Ironically the concept of a smart-phone _was_ sci-fi technology at one point. Remember the 'tricorder' pocket-computers and -communicators from Star Trek?

And jetpacks actually do have limited usage prototypes. Had them as early as the 60s, when various militaries _did_ invest into research into them. Advancement of the times forced them to give up on it refocus on other less exotic areas, which is why that research and progress on the technology basically froze.

They're basically as expendable as a jeep, which isn't bad since they're military equipment and not supposed to be unstoppable.
Even modern fighter jets are just paper tigers, a couple get shot down each year.

NGE just puts a lot of emphasis on the maintenance and logistics of the Evas, it's a trick that makes people think they're more realistic because the show goes the extra mile to show how difficult it is just to keep them running.
That doesn't make them realistic, just believable and practical within the setting.

Votoms as I said above treats mecha like any other modern weapon. Expendable, simple, and gets the job done.
Early code geass had that vibe too until they started going full sci fantasy in S2.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, once all current geopolitical charades are dropped and war becomes nothing but the pastime of uber rich oligarchs then we are 100% going to have mechas and shit because weapon manufacturers are going to throw all sense of praticality out the window and just go ham on it.

Dragonbone is made of a substance stronger than steel at least 6,000 MPa which is needed to support their massive dimensions, yet it's only got a density of approximately 1.21 g/cm3 needed to fly.

This is why Dragonbone weapons and armor is highly prized. Imagine a fantasy mecha made of Dragonbone, haha.

i love eva but you're beyond retarded, consider suck-starting a shotgun

I don't believe in tailoring mecha to normalfags.
I like that they can't get over "mih reelism" and that barrier allows the mecha works to do whatever without worrying abiut the kinds of problems you'd have to worry about in games or anime.

That said I think people would accept mecha if you make the universe distinguishable enough from ours that people can buy such fantastical stuff existung.
Like no one questions dragons in a fantasy world because the world is set up differently.
But a lot of mecha stories tend to be set in the future of what is assumed to be our reality.
So the disbelief kicks in.
In contrast Eva takes place in a setting where spirituality is a science and creationism is real.
Macross has alien life forms that look like martians from pulp fiction.
Transformers are explained as aliens.
Star Wars has jedi, aliens and invokes the atmosphere of an ancient myth.

Adding in slight supernatural/fantasy elements like this eases people into mecha because the universe is setup to play by different rules.
When something like Gundam uses psuedoscience to explain stuff and has a very similar appearance to our world they can't process it.

It literally still applies in space. If we're talking realistic physics than a mech performing high speed movements is going to rip its own limbs off when it makes a sudden stop or sharp turn.

>No. You don't understand physics
No, you don't understand physics. Being in space is fucking irrelevant when it comes to mass being moved around. If you want to make sharp stops and sudden turns, you need a booster system that's incredibly fucking powerful to make thrusts and corrections like that. This isn't a satellite being casually launched into orbit and maintaining a steadily increasing speed with a peter puff of air blasts, it's a several hundred ton bipedal machine flapping around like a dildo flying through the vacuum of space. Every single rapid thrust this thing makes is going to put absurd duress on the joints at the shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, knees and ankles.

I think it works better for that type of game, because of the hitbox shape.

Within the context of Gundam mobile suits make sense, or atleast the initial advent of them made sense, for fighting against spaceships. The best thing about Origins is showing why the advent of the Zaku was such a turning point for the Principality of Zeon.

You'd think the invention of Funnels/Bits would have ended up making Mobile Suit obsolete. Yes, it's an issue that you need a psychic to properly use the things, but that's probably something that can be overcome, and once they do, only psychics or Unnamed Jegan pilots would be able to stand against them.

Seriously, seeing funnels going to town on something is legit scary, the powerlessness of the target is tangible.

Just reminded me of my favorite part of Char's Counterattack. The massive imbalance in power we see when Amuro absolutely destroys Gyunei with his funnels is brutal.

You agreed with me though! The focus on Eva logistics is no trick, it’s a fake world with fake physics, anything that contributes toward losing yourself in the world is a plus, ATV as fiction dose this poorly, although it is a series I enjoy.

I’m not sure what you even disagree with me on?

We're reaching levels of explosives resistance and countermeasures that can work to mitigate this, really. Like the counter-sensor in development that can detonate a missile about to impact a vehicle. Testing gave it a 100% success rate, and placed on, say, a tank instead of a car, the external force of the explosion is peanuts compared to if the rocket had hit the tank directly. Honestly we're in an age where on-the-boots warfare isn't really a good idea to begin with against anything higher than militia and terrorist cells, so any setting that does require full military force on the ground is bound to be making excuses or playing on audience expectations of conflict.

In multiplayer yeah. More in fact since there are unlockables. Theres a not Scopedog, pile bunker cqc, and mobile armor/dendrobium ish ones off the top of my head.

Maybe with Cygames backing.

Plot infused titanium

The only reason they aren't practical is because they're extremely energy inefficient.
If energy was to ever become a non-issue, we'd probably unironically use a bunch of humanoid and humanoid-esque robots and vehicles.

No, they also need to worry about the crippling square-cube law, the strain of inertia, and the MASSIVE maintenance cost (a Jet fighter is already expensive as hell to maintain despite relying mostly on the engine propulsion) and the parts getting easily worn down by the massive strain the mecha will always suffer.

Most of the mobile suit kills in war in the pocket was from the pilots getting shredded in the cockpit while the suit remained mostly intact. Shit was brutal compared to all the other series where the whole suit goes boom.

That also happens in Iron-blooded Oprhans
