    Well, all modern armoured vehicle designers strive for a very
important quality called "low profile". They are all built close to the
ground, (the military ones, I mean).  An Imperial Walker certainly
doesn't conform, or it could not be tripped up with a tow cable.
    Can you imagine trying to trip a Leopard II tank?
