Well, if you're in an urban environment engagements that close will be inevitable, so I don't think that's really an indicator that they aren't interested in realism at all.

There are other slightly more obvious ones. LOL

And if they are, they're usually an enemy and they're beaten by the Hero Plot Device.



Anyway...

Has anyone here every played any of the Gungriffon games before? The mechs in CG remind me a lot of the AWGS from those games in that the Knightmare Frames rarely ever walk, and instead use deployable wheels on the feet, just like the AWGS do.

The Lancelot looks a lot like the HIGH-MACS III, too. And the Glasgow *kinda* reminds me of the JagdPanther with the abdominal cannon.
