Pawns are indeed useful pieces aswell...Since you only have one Queen or one King or one Gundam, other pieces can block or control later movements...Tierens weren't designed to fight against unimaginably fast and agile Gundams, they were meant to control the grounds with numbers... Just like Tanks aren't meant to fight stealth bombers, Teirens have their own purpose...The historic landscape of 00 suggests they have been quite successful...100 years from now when we have the first robotic soldiers or MS' Terminator 2-ing $hit, we'l still have a 100 tanks keeping the occupation somewhere...

Teirens = Cheaply produced tank-suits killing $hit with numbers...
More like walking tanks with heavy armor and firepower. Against conventional weaponry they should be able take punishment better than the Union's or AEU's suits. Seems more like a psychological tactic, advancing slowly on the enemy with heavy firepower and in numbers.

In dealing with agile/aerial units, that's what the High Mobility Tierens there for.
