Tank Shells do more damage. Bipedal-Mechs can be tipped over with enough damage to their legs.

There's ways.

Make the mechs faster with much better vision and put them in a support role with strong anti-missile and anti-infantry armaments, but short range.

Tanks would have poor visibility, no anti-missile defense, but superior durability, firepower and range.

Infantry is rock, Tanks are scissors, Mechs are paper.

Shit man, Battlefield 2142 was the very epitome of the rock, paper, scissors formula. Not only in classes but in vehicles, too. God I miss this game.

2142 did it well

Goddamn - this just reminded me of the retarded ass bullshit EA pulled in ceasing and desisting the org that tried to keep 2142 up.

Good thing we can still play it on the revive servers. Oh wait...

Mechs are piloted by Ayyys and thus run on futuretech, fast, fragile armor, shields
Humans instead go full combined arms

I make MWLL

Top armor is always weaker on tanks. Terrain should give the mech pilots a way to exploit this. Tank pilots, however, should also have options to mitigate it, through taking safer routes that happen to be a significantly longer path to the objective. Or through covering fire.

There's a separate testicles stat which is only used to get free drinks and get laid more easily back at the base. Testicles can only increase in two ways, playing infantry naked or piloting a mech.

lmao no

STOP IM NOT LPOKI G REVIVE IS STILL UP YES IMA GO PLAY WITH FRENS I WAS PLAYING WITH BACK THEN!!
oh god why did they kill it off why!!!!!

Why not?

Funny enough, BF2142 kinda did this already. The walkers weren't fast, but they fucking shrekt infantry and could ward off aircrafts with their AA turrets. The tanks BTFOs any other ground vehicle unless it's in range of the Walker bottle rockets.

The mechs were designed to be weaker against tanks because they were primarily anti infantry. Tanks were vehicle hunters and in the hands of a good tanker could also take out infantry but could also be taken out by the infantry as well, either by explosives or those stationary railgun things. 2142 is probably the most underrated Battlefield there is.
But user, there's still servers up. Sucks that it's only Suez 24/7 and the occasional Berlin though.

Why did they kill revive :(

>EA shut down Revive
Are these idiots even real? Do they really want people to hate them as much as they can?

They'll probably release a shitty remake of 2142 full of niggers, lootboxes and microtransactions.

Because why not?
:)

MWO baby detected

Holy shit. I think EA is purposefully trying to make people hate them.

make mechs into power armor like mode with max height of 4-5 meters.

I played every day user

Woooowwwww

Why does the thread turn into 2142 nostalgia?

Shouldn't it be Infantry as Paper, Tanks as Rock, Mechs as Scissors?

Nobody actually wanted 2142 back. Servers had less than 100 players before EA closed them down.

Doesn't apply to videogames per se but IRL it would probably be a lot cheaper to make and maintain tanks than mechs.

Wrong.

It's the truth. Even after it came back, people barely talked about it on Sup Forums. By the way the servers had dogshit hit detection.
Get the fucking nostalgia goggles off, faggot.

maybe if they bothered putting up actual fucking servers people wouldn't have to resort to this

>what is gameplay balance
>let me post an selfie of my soul to show you how smug i am

I wouldn't since it's inherently unbalanced in favour of the superior vehicle, tanks

If you wanna go realistic route, big stompy mechs are a no go as they would get blown the fuck out by tanks.

Some sort of tachicoma style agile spider "mechs" might work in an game set in an urban environment. Make them anti infantry with some anti tank potential when they use their superior agility to their advantage, but basically total glass cannons otherwise.

Tanks would reign supreme in zones with clear firing lines and avenues of attack, whereas spider mechs would lord over more urbanized areas with tons of structures which they could scale.

Trump should have Active Protection System though.

Fuck I mean tanks, not Trump.

Tanks and jets play ground support to the mechs which are the main draw to the game

There's a stage where you play as a rag-tag tank squadron that has to fight against an enemy mech squadron MS Igloo style

I just woke up with a great mood until I read this
I'm mad again. fuck

By making mechs shit like they are. It's a childish comicbook fantasy like having Spiderman in WW2. Nobody cares and it doesn't work. You can't match such an abomination against real technology and expect it to come out well. A tank is simply a more stable and reliable platform to mount a gun on. The only way in which a mech ever works is when fighting around obstacles like inhabited buildings you'd need to step over - but then we're talking about a sky-high giant 4-legged monstrosity with too much attack surface to ever be combat viable.
You can't even use them in space as their stupid layout and weight balance makes it impossible to strap a thruster to them without it then rotating weirdly.
If you go full retard then go all the way and make it steampunk with magic and mechs.

Some hardcore cucking, dreaming of the man.

You are correct regarding traditional mechwarrior style mechs.

Some sort of smaller combat frames, intended exclusively for urban combat that have the capacity to scale walls etc, would perhaps be feasible, though in no way, at the role tanks perform. Mech would never be a good tank. Mechs would need to fill entirely different role, perhaps as a mobile heavy firesupport platform intended for urban environments, where a tank could not feasibly operate.

why is anime so cringe?
>let's put colorful 1d children charcters into BLOODY GRITTY SITUATIONS
>ALSO LET US GIVE GUNS TO AN HEDGEHOG

>fuck tank

Not so fast

Why would you relate them to absolute realism? That's boring as fuck. Keep them mechwarrior tier.

Mechs have higher profile so theyre easier to hit, but could traverse over hills and obstacles easier. Maybe have jump-jets.

Tanks would have slower acceleration.

Mechs could just be like Sentinels of wh40k and tonks be tonks.

Mwll

Tanks should be fast and flat, but have tank controls. Mechs should have simple walk controls 360° but move slower and are higher, and can jump and dash.
Maps should in general be flat and deserted. Not too flat, dunes are fine. And some pillars for cover.

>Tanks would have slower acceleration.

I think tank should have been faster in straight line while mechs have more agile movement.

Why are you here if you hate anime?
Besides: It's the Astray Red Frame. It's that setting's Super Robot.

Make taks and other vehicals in general completely expendable fodder for mechs, of course. Proper balance for mech game: space batteships>strategic bombers>mechs>>>helicopters>tanks>infantry

Then you get something like a pissed-off cyborg with a huge rifle and it all goes to shit.

That part was so fucking cool. Motoko is still the best cyborgwaifu.

Motoko is a fucking cocktease

...

A part of me is still mad
fuck that kid

...

BUT WHAT IF WE MIX IT TOGETHER?!?

>completely forgot about C&C 4
Fuck you user. don't show that shit around again.

2142 did a pretty good job at it

...

Fuck you buy lootboxes

user I mean it stop it

B-but i thought you wanted a game with tanks and mechs

Who designed those shit?

...

i would make the mech pilots all look like this

no thanks

im done with the ealy 2000s shitty anime

...

FUCKING STOP IT

That'd be nice, or maybe like the gundam pilots from 00 gundam

literally 2016

>when a porn VN try too hard to be serious.

and?
it still looks dated and shit

and its not even as good as muv luv

i just watched it for the plug suits, i hated the enemies so i'm sure muh lov sucks dick too.

>i just watched it for the plug suits,
huh thats pretty sad

...

It's pretty much the only good thing bout it.

>i just watched it for the plug suits
did you buy figurines too? faggot
>i hated the enemies so i'm sure muh lov sucks dick too.
