The realism of fighting with giant mech robots

These actually look less like humanoid robots, and more like what a first gen mech would look like. The game even calls them Vertical tanks. So to me, it seems like it's going more after what they see some military working on down the road, and less like a completly made up mech ala Battletech.

Plus all the visual effects they apply to the game make it seem like you are staring out of a camera feed of a warzone. This game could easially be called "Janes Vertical Tank" game if such a mecha existed.
