it needs too much energy to be viable. there's a lot more you have to mechanically simulate and actuate in a leg than in a wheel or a tread. all those moving parts need maintenance and power, and that all adds weight you could have used for armor, guns, or anything else. building a modern mech would be 50% battery by weight, a M1 Abrams tank's engine is maybe 2-3% of the tank's total weight. if you look at the way an electric car is laid out you can see why there's a problem we can't fix currently before we can even get into the military practicality. you basically need to get to cold fusion or near-perfect RTG's before you can even think about this shit.
