Mechwarrior Online is literally WoT with mechs.

You'd spend 5 months grinding to the top-tier of mech, be able to play 1 game with it and then spend the next 2 weeks grinding enough money by beating on noobs to repair it.

False. World of Tanks is more profitable.

Then I would need to have a 2.0 KDR each game so I can repair my mechs without the need to pubstomp.

Actually, with further thought, I don't hate the idea (beyond my hatred for Wargaming's monetization strategies).
 
You start with 1 tree per faction, Medium mechs. At tier 2 or 3, your tree splits into Medium, Heavy and Light. A tier or so higher and the Heavy tree splits into Heavy and Super-heavy or Titan or whatever. Light splits into Light and Support Vehicles, which would be super-specialized traditional wheeled or tracked vehicles or even exosuits. The secondary split could be handled in a later update, typical of their release schedule. Promised within 3 months of leaving "beta" and delivered 6-8 later.
 
Your hangar allows for upgrades to each mech or new weapons systems. To accomodate the greater customization (and higher total research costs) mech simulator neckbeardsfans expect, the research cost for new mechs should be reduced relative to WoT and WoWs, at least until tier 8 as opposed to current models where the grind starts around 6. Premium, of course, would lower the grind significantly, but gold would not be sync'd with your Wargaming account for 1-2 years for no good reason.
 
Visual customizations need to be more prominent as well, which would give Wargaming the chance to move away from customizations that grant bonuses, as minor as they might be. Since Wargaming seems to be so fond of writing up almost entirely new engines for every goddamn game they make, I assume adding hitscan and lock-on weaponry wouldn't be too hard for them, though creativity and engaging thematics might. Though it could be cool to play a mech game that is entirely projectile-based.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

Sorry. It's already been done, and failed. Horribly. Google: "Steel Battalion"

and i actually liked the concept. . . gone before i found it. not sure if the paycheck sized controller killed it, or what.

I dont know about that other stuff but how tanks move felt right and i was just watching. Sure tanks are much easier to do in terms of moving around. But if they could do mech movement right better than mechwarrior all other mechanics/cameras/shooting could pretty much stay very similar.

it can be like MWO, but with slug cannons (and armor penetrate features) instead las0rz, and with steam-punk mechs (or mech in WW2 design, like a walking tank)
to be honest, i'm still think why wargaming not try this idea (maybe they just fear this can't bring money =/), because obviously, they can be first in this (if they want :P).
i think someone trying to realise this idea in future.
something like 1 april WT joke (maybe they have some plans and just looking on players reaction ^_^ who knows?)

The community is literally a carcinogen. 

That's why World of Warships is better
