An alternative to wheels or not?

It looks too uncomfortable and bumpy for my liking :(

You would probably get one massive headache riding in that!

I suppose they are similar to those war vehicle things in Star Wars.

Trouble is though they are the symbol of the bad guy Imperialists in Star Wars so the UK armed forces are more likely than not to invest in and have these things not us unfortunately :(

By the look of it, that thing requires a very flat surface to operate.

Not going to replace wheels and tracks any time soon.

everyone knows the evil 'empire' were supposed to be the communists! That to me is good enough a commendation.

unlike Obi Wan, you couldnt use the force to pick it up when it inevitably falls over :P

It looks pretty useless as any sort of military vehicle. You can pack more firepower into a much more compact and protected vehicle than that anyway. You could probably take it out with a good shove!

against other armour it would be crap, but it would own against infantry cause its increased elevation and weapons would give it an advantage.

I am yet to be convinced!

Besides APC's do a pretty good anti-infantry job IMO.

strap a mini-gun or a grenade launcher to one of these and i think it would stand a good chance against an APC.

Play one of the Mech Warrior games and you'll understand.
