The tow cables were definitively remarkably strong in order to be able to trip them, and they were probably mounted on the airspeeders for utility purposes (I can't think of any other military use). I wouldn't say the legs would be an obvious weakness. Not saying the Dreadnought is by any means practical but people, and not necessarily you, have been using that against the movie as if this franchise hasn't been like this forever, which is silly. The Dreadnought is also presented as a fearsome fleet killer and it actually takes a huge bomber with a huge payload to bring it down. Like, I'm not against the AT-AT design at all, it's a fun design which is all I ask out of these movies (I never cared for the ships or the practicality of anything because it takes the fun out of everything imo) but the movie presenting it like a terrible machine doesn't deny how dumb it is. "With the Dreadnought, however, the Resistance takes advantage of its obvious weakness" isn't that also "beating power with smarts"?Īn AT-AT's obvious weakness is its legs and the rebels also took advantage of it. It's not just impractical in real life scenarios, its impractical in universe too, they literally just have to make them stumble. I don't see how a tank that can be made to trip with a cable is not an incredibly stupid design (and if the internet had been around it would be nitpicked to death), not because it's easy to make it fall, but because its just slow.
