Whats the point of metal gears apart from looking good? Nuke subs with ICBMs are alot more effective.

style over substance
INSTEAD OF USING FOXHOUNDS WE USE ROYAL HARRIERS
Wasn't part of it, that Metal Gear uses a railgun vice a rocket, technically not making it an ICBM
I don't even know what a metal gear is, other than shit games
"They can be used on land makes no sense since ICBMs can reach any target on earth in minutes at 11000km
On paper, the idea of a Metal Gear isn't half bad . . .for the 50's/60's. However, with the advent of real time satellite photography and stealth bomber planes, a Metal Gear is fucking useless, not to mention if you didn't balance the weight right it would just sink into the ground, plus the added difficulty of properly making a bipedal machine. Furthermore, even in the 50's/60's, a Metal Gear would be both impractical and impossible. Now the Shagohod, that's a good idea. It can launch a nuke from literally any place that has a mile long stretch of flat land. The best part about it is that it would allow ANY country to secretly have a nuclear arsenal without any satellite spying being able to detect missile launch sites. Sokolov had a good idea, Granin was retarded.
Metal Gear is obsolete, did you not play MGSV/MGS2? It's all about creating a supersoldier like Big Boss - a weapon that can surpass Metal Gear.
the railgun allows it to launch a stealth nuke which can't be detected by radar

Isn't a metal gear just inferior to a cold War nuke submarine?
