Without reading it I think the arguments sound stupid... I mean they are BattleTech mechs... The Laws of Thermodynamics HTAES those things with a passion...
you just need to abuse that info. In other words spam them with incindiary rounds (tank and artilery) and watch them die to internal ammo explosions and
reactor core over heating long before they get in sensor range of you. Literally anything without a flamer is reduced to a melee weapon. Your honestly better
off using flamethrower fuel tanks launched from a medevil capatult than using Korean War era AP and explosive tank shells. If Wiley Pete is involved any mech
that get more than clipped is doomed in short order.
That said... The mechs get in range without being on fire: your screwed... you torch a mech and it goes off too close: your screwed and then nuked. Battletech
air cover is going to be the real issue to deal with.
Granted this all depends on who which sides has actual tactics going... I mean spamming tanks if fine... unless you lose them in droves... then you have no
tanks and worse no crews.
Then again I always thought it was funny that the Zulu (they had lots of spears) kept taking out Italian tanks. That would be one report I'd hate to keep
writing. 'OMG Spears... the have pointy, pointy spears... send more tanks!'
