Walkers or Tanks[ 38 votes ]
1. Walkers 24 / 63%
2. Tanks 14 / 37%

Which is your preferred method of war vehicle? (Yes, I realize Walkers are science fiction, but it's besides the point)

Here are a few advantages for each side:

Walkers
-Less effected by geographical terrain inconsistencies.
-Field of view is further than vehicles that are closer to the ground. Has the ability to look down on the target(s).
-Longer weapon ranges
-Has the ability to crush objects that tanks cannot (dropping a tank from a height does not count)

Tanks
-Lower profile makes it less of a target.
-Treads for faster mobility
-Sturdy, reinforced design for better durability.
-Requires less maintenance.

You forgot the poll.

Also, walkers.

Walkers are, to simply put it, bad ass.

For example the Tib. Sun walkers, they looked great! Some of my favorite C&C units.

I usually opt for tanks, but walkers are fucking badass, too. If they're more humanoid, I tend to like them more (Core Defender, Avatar, etc).

Is this based off a game? Or are you just asking what we'd prefer to use in real life? - Because if you are, I can go get my 5 year old cousin to answer this one for you.

Walkers is the only option. The AT-AT is godly, let us not forget.

Rule of Cool applies... walkers are just plain cooler. Only hovertanks come close to rivaling the coolness of walking war machines. A group of Tick Tanks hasn't got nearly the amount of awesomeness a group of Hover MLRS has, but a thundering battalion of Titans and Juggernauts with Wolverines swarming around their ankles and a Mk.II leading the formation... that just takes the cake. The icing, too.

*edit* As if the Apocalypse Mk.V in my sigpic left any doubt about what I'd vote...


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Why do people like Chuck Norris so much? I hate the jokes, and if you look at who he really is in real life you may just hate him too.

That will start a topic derail, so just read it, avoid the question and remember Walkers are bad ass. Thumbs Up

True words, but you're still a faggot.

I for one enjoyed the phallic aggression of the Avatar walkers no homo.

The whole walkers and tanks debate can vary a lot though, as walkers can vary a lot from game to game (though MWs, CnC series, Battlefield2142 they are pretty bad ass in). But in chrome the walkers all around suck, slow, handle terrain worse than tanks, low armor, etc.

But for the most part I'm always for the walkers.

Anti-Vehicle weapons.

Or after spending a shed load of money and having lets say..20 to invade somewhere like France. The French or allied-nations would jus send nukes or huge missiles.

Boom, money wasted.
