Okay, let's say we solve the square cube law and build mecha. Are there any non-arbitrary reasons why tanks aren't better? If not, what are some bullsht reasons I can use for stories that aren't that absurd?

It’s also just not really the square cube law. All the mass devoted to keeping it standing regardless is mass that isn’t armor, weapons, or engine

I mean, sure, but so is, say, time travel, but that doesn't mean that Life is Strange ignores any other rules of physics in the Mr. Jefferson story, as one example

The square cube law isn't a specific "law of physics", it's basic math

I guess one way to read this question is to imagine that we're making machines that are human sized and asking what the advantages and disadvantages are to having humanoid bodies vs human sized tanks on treads

Yeah, that's a good way of framing it, I think I guess I'm mainly just asking in historical terms "could the Soviets have pacified Afghanistan with much better armor"
