The amount of

If you play the mech arcade game Brigador, a lot of the lore talks about how dangerous and shitty the vehicles are. Literally there's a bit of lore about how mechs don't really make practical sense as a combat vehicle and should just be replaced with tanks, but they just look so fucking cool everyone keeps making them.
Reminds me when I drunkenly wondered why they do not use mechs in real life and my friend just said "Mechs stand tall, tanks go low."
"Mechs stand tall, tanks go low."
Which is interesting because later in the UC universe, they started to build smaller mechs that are super agile and can easily destroy taller mech
I effectively had the same convo with a friend back in high school and pointed out the Gundam’s biggest canonical battlefield tech breakthrough was its armor, which let it potentially take anything to the face (until beam weapons see widespread use in the original). Then I compared that a real-life analog, the Abrams, which can hide behind hills and things despite being a taller tank than its counterparts. The Gundam— or anything else it’s fighting — can’t hide.
He still thought the army should use mechs after that…
Reminds me of the first season of Macross, where they try to turn on the anti-gravity boosters and simply... blast them into space by mistake. Then later, when they realize the ship can transform, but moving the decks ends up wrecking the human-modified interior.
I'm imagining Hikaru taxiing the trainer Valkyrie into Minmei's house, but it also fucks up the robot like a real plane crashing into a wall.
