@Transfusions who knows. From what i understand the airframe of the ShinShin is meant more to be a fighter. If the U.S agrees to install Aesa and DAS radar into the ShinShin, it would prob out preform the F35 in AA.

@venian646 Additionally, the costs, maintenance and logistics are to be taken into factor - for starters,mechs are possibly bound to have more parts than a tank and even an IFV. You'll need additional support crews trained for the job and unless the military has a large enough budget to support such, I don't see the pros outweighing the cons. Combat benefits alone aren't enough to let it see operational service for long.

@venian646 Combat takes place in ranges between hundreds of meters, sometimes even over 1~-2km, as far as I'm concerned. Mechs wouldn't be a bad choice for counter-insurgency missions, urban or mountainous terrain - I'm assuming a close example of such 'slimline' mechs with 'artificial muscles' would be the GEKKO in MGS4. But if it's slim, it wouldn't really have much means of defending itself against long-ranged weaponry, especially in wide and flat terrain - where tanks have a huge advantage.

Build a mobile suit like Gundam.. Japan would be very powerful! LOL
Peace from Manila.

@youtubasoarus Damn straight

@canadadry0g I don't know if this will be good as Su-35 but I read an article that the first flight of ATD is scheduled on 2014. So they are building it.

@AcomsRazor1776 actually no, the reason PRC fought was because US warship enter the Taiwan Strait. this was a critical mistake US made because it gave PRC the impression that US do not plan to recognize PRC as China. people tend to forget that when the Korean war was underway, US did not even consider PRC a nation! it was still view as a rebellion. had US made recognition of PRC then, PRC would be in the UN and neither Korea nor China would be divided today.

this is not Fighter. it's Tester.

@caseygtr i know what your saying but it would be cool though, and also i dont think they are so useless in combat, if a mech is next to a tank, it could just flip it over before it has time to turn its cannon. Mechs have an advantage in mobility because legs can go where wheels and treads cant. Also im not talking about the big clumsy mechs you see in Armored Core or Gundam but slimline mech using 'artificial muscles' such as electroactive polymers.

@venian646 actually, practicality will make the mech not happen at all in the future... at least for combat. for mobility, legs are better then wheels or tracks... however when it comes to speed, legs are highly inefficient. Also due to weapons and armor, fighting vehicles are very heavy, and the large area of tracks displace weight better then a foot. Next point, the arms... seriously arms, why? punching? swords? We do have cannon shells, missiles and even lasers now. Mechs will never be.
I love all the hate. Just wait until Japan starts putting mechs out there. We'll see who's laughing then.
