but youre thinking about it with our existing technology. when it may be feasable to use walkers, they may be able to absorb/dodge those types of weapons. there is no doubt in my mind that at some point they will be used in some form. in theory, they have huge advantages over wheeled vehicles in maneuverability

Yes, and by then portable missile systems will have advanced to a point to render what are fairly slow moving itmes pointless. Machinery and mechanics have there physical limits. Steel can only be so strong, composites only useful, the speed and agility these things would need to "dodge" rockets means there nothing but a dream. Your better off designing an off road vehicles such as an armored quad or something with a few rockets on it. Small target, fast, and agile, with a rocket that can still kill a tank.
