"mobile" doing a lot of lifting here
Majorsilva@reddit
Personally, I don't think anyone is lifting that thing.

At least put on bicycle paddles to call it mobile.
Begle1@reddit
French, you say?

I can see something like that being effective if there were armor on all sides and perhaps an engine that could propel it. Maybe even treads instead of wheels so it doesn't get hung up in the mud.

At that point, just spit balling here, you could possibly even attach a large gun to it. Bonus points if you let it spin

Probably would help if he got a few mates with him as well, to share the workload.

Sounds like it’d be able to tank a lot of dmg like that
thephantom6121@reddit
That would instantly get stuck in mud
Revvay@reddit
Well then they would use it so it doesnt get stuck. The main concert would be that it would attract machine gun and artillery fire

My first thought was "Bullet magnet".

Then get shot from a slight angle, and finished off by artillery.
