Talked about it with a friend of mine and he thinks the same way. We are mechanical engeneers so i guess it really wouldnt work XD But we both really like your Design and whished we had something like that standing around 
You're right to say in your previous statement that the feet are too small. the main reason i chose small feet was for personnel aesthetic preference but in reality, if such a mech could even exist, the feet are way too small. I've already implemented bigger feet on the next (A6) variant but i'm unsure of the exact size it should be. Would you be able to refer me to a minimum pressure threshold for roads so i know how big to make the feet? also what would you guess the weight of this thing is (you can see dimensions in the blueprint for size)? from my calculations comparing the volume (74m^3 aprox) to an abrams (32m^3 aprox) the weight should be somewhere around 120 tons or more which is probably way too much. i may be overly simplifying it though since it has more to do with surface area of the armor, armor thickness and internal utilities.
I'm glad you like the design
unfortunately i don't have any formal training in engineering or even physics so a lot of this is self taught information, imagination or intuition.
So i started learning for the exam and found the listing of N / M² for different ground types. I will be writing it down after im done with the exams. needs a little converting because its ment for something else. about the weight. The Prof has two things he likes to say "Dont know how to build it/ explain it?... Too expensive, we cant do that!" and "Doesnt look build light? ... Of course, its all super light on the inside!" 
You can see here the pieces fit together

If it were a contemporary design it would definitely be too expensive for almost anyone to produce, and it would have a very limited use.

Keep in mind this is a fictional piece and it's very common to see vestigial details added to a design (just look at star wars designs).
The AU-A7 was designed with cost effectiveness and transport-ability in mind. It's also more compact since it doesn't have that huge thing on the top.

okay okay 
So you dont want the listing? its not magic. itsonly N/m² compared to your footsize in m² ?

Thats a no, k
