Battle Tech is silly tech on numerous levels. Not the least of which is ground preasure. One of my engineering friends once calculated the ground preasure of the original battle tech mechs. That much weight (up to 100 tons) pressing down on a single foot (because the mech has to step) at the scale of those mechs would literally be immobile. Reinforced concrete would crumble under the pressure. You'd sink into the ground, i forget how many feet, but far enough to be truly silly.
