Tanks can't climb a vertical incline, Mechs with hands and arms can.
Tanks can't rip open a warehouse, pick up a particular shipping create, and run for it. You would need to bulldoze through a wall and then get out and strap the crate to the outside of the tank.
Tanks can't traverse a deep fast river by wading across it. They would need a bridging unit.
Aircraft are still much more maneuverable than Mechs but mechs are more durable.
Very true. Correct me if I'm wrong, weren't the original mechs made for non-combat duty initially? Kinda starting out like the loaders in Aliens and then evolving into combat machines?
