2-I don't know, if an actual Gundam or Metal Gear existed in Real Life, the only way to win would be nukes. Nukes that can be avoided or even shot/sliced before they hit them.

3-Except, it's the same in Gundam (sans the "smaller" part, that varies) and Metal Gear.

4-......Of Titan-size or less? Because they can be deployed in the streets or mountains? Did you mess up and meant another size?

Besides, in mountains it makes sense but could they really be deployed in an urban area? With all the buildings and such in the way, depending on how big the mecha is it can be difficult to not hit them mid-combat.

Then again, if they are only just-as-big as the average buildings and one doesn't care much about collateral damage, it remains somewhat practical. Like typical urban warfare, just bigger scale. 2- Gundams are agile, but not untoucheable. Going off what I remember from the 08th MS series, they could still be taken out with modern conventional rounds.

3- The point is they're frickin huge for such advanced tech

4- I cleared up earlier I meant Titans from Titanfall sized. Which means they could easily walk down the streets of most cities. Gundams are 3 stories tall and for the maneuvers they pull they eventually destroy the city and it's no longer urban combat. They'd become less popular than actual nukes.
