Default Re: [OT] Military (non-political) discussion of Iraq war

I don't know if the walking tank concept is such a great idea, even if the artwork looks cool. The best design of a tank is something that is low to the ground and can dig itself in so that it is hard to hit. The walker concept would allow for movement across tougher terrain, but its upright stance would make it pretty easy to hit. Even if they are extremely well armored, something will be developed to penetrate their armor. I would want to be in something that is both well armored and hard to hit, rather than in something that stands out like a sore thumb.
