Mecha in World War II

A couple of errors, but hey.. giant robots in WWII!

Gigantic anthromorphic robots in modern combat are ridiculous. Your point? I was amused that the US robot held the rank of Captain, personally. At least when it sends some troops on police call, they aren't going to argue.

There's first-glance ridiculousness and premises. You have big robots: that's the premise; you get one impossible thing, and it's a mild exaggeration of German tech silliness in WWII (viz. the Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster). The problem is that the robots are wearing hats.

It was the 1940s, everyone wore hats!

Robots, yes. Giant, yes. Anthropomorphic? Redundand. As evidenced by the carnage delivered on the battlefields of 2149 by the T39 Bogatyr (http://bf2142fever.com/content/T-39_BOGATYR).
