But mechs cannot take recoil as well as tanks, which means that your aspirations for mechs to be these self-propelled anti-tank turrets aren't founded in reality.
Aren't founded in reality.
Reality.

What manner of madman are you, telling us of this so-called 'reality'? 

Seriously though, we [i]are[/i] in a rather laissez-faire RP, which is steampunk, no less. Our reality is not necessarily the RP's reality, after all...

@Invictus yes...so let me get this straight: we are at totally opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, are already inclined to be hostile to each other ('Heretic!' 'Counter-revolutionary!'), are competing with each other internationally because we both produce goods, and furthermore [i]live really close to each other?[/i] I think we have the groundwork of a national feud between us...
