Brigador fixed the whole Mech vs Tank thing
>Tanks
>Most jobs can be done, and probably done best, with a pair of treads. Been that way for a long time, and I suspect will stay so for a while yet. Spacers were going to show us dirt eaters how it's done with those ball-treads, but even with all their tech best they could manage is a hefty trade-off.
>Unlike with most mechs and powersuits, tank crews don't need cranial jacks. Some are still wired up for it depending on the service and role - I've seen plenty of Betkas in the single driver config for example - but that's not the norm. Partly has to do with jack incompatibility being common enough in the service, partly because you can still make a good tank crew without it.
>Agravs will never be as reliable. And much as I love a good pair of legs, tanks are simpler to build and maintain. It's why they're the mainstay of any military that sees regular combat and has a budget.
