Its actually a very sensible and well thought out idea in the context of its role. As >>64119250 said its basically a Hetzer with legs although I'd call it a mobile gun turret.
So yeah there is at least a logic and reason for it to exist as opposed to something like pic related which for anons that don't know:
>expensive
>designed to scout but too slow for that role
>large enough that everyone is going to unload with everything they got the moment it appears but nowhere near enough protection to absorb the punishment
>no firepower to speak of with the best tactic people could come up with is to charge into those too slow to run away at high speed and hope for the best
Now that is a design that makes no logical sense at any stage during the design process

Don't think many people played Steel Battalion despite it being a /k/ as fuck mech simulator. While I do like the designs they always seemed like a single hit should be more than enough to destabilize them and fall over.

When you see the thumbnail it looks like a potentially decent SPAAG then when you open it up you see the horror. Christ.
