Title says it all. The legged animation does play properly, but only when you're still engaged in combat. And under those conditions you're much slower than 40km/h. I'd petition for seeing the animation all the time, when you lose a leg.

EDIT 1/ New poll options up, Thread now focussed on general concept of being legged and how it should be incorporated into MWO.

I'm not sure I understand. As far as I've seen, you always limp as long as your leg is broken.

Also, no offense, but this seems a rather trivial issue; if one can even call it that.

You limp only when you are receiving damage, if only for a few seconds.

Skip to 6:38.
After I lose my leg, I will limp during combat but after the combat is over I will walk normally at 40 kph.

It is common for teammates to assume you're just being slow on purpose and may result in some rude comments.
So a continuous limping would make some sense as well as allow the illusion that your leg is broken to continue to matter as opposed to "Oh, it's fine."

I just wish they'd eliminate the lousy 15kph penalty. I can understand the rationale behind it, but it doesn't make sense if you're getting hit with lasers, mgs, or flamers.

The thing is the animation will play when you're in combat, and you'll be reduced to 15km/h

Once the game thinks you've left combat, you'll appear like you're just walking at 40km/h with no limping animation present.

What the Devs should do, is speed up the animation so it will play when you accelerate up to 40km/h.

Yeah, keeping the pimp walk when not under fire should be good to have.

Agreed. I know the actuator(s) and/or gyro(s) are overloaded, but really? 15kph? Not to mention it makes your turning like 1/10th of what it should be.
