The answer IRL is also usually the answer in MWLL and BT tabletop: artillery/air support
The pitiful ranges given to missiles in this setting are supposedly due to using trinary computing, which allowed for truly retarded levels of jamming/counter jamming for guided weapons systems. It's the only reason anybody bothers to break out ballistic and beam weapons, since the missile ranges are bad enough to make direct fire a viable alternative. And due to the crazy future armor tech, only the stupidest, most powerful (and and short ranged) weapons are deployed.
Unfortunately, loading an artillery battery with cubane-based high explosives and just blind firing them at a map grid that a spotter calls in is a great way to kill billions of C-bills with impunity. Similarly, the heavier aerospace units mount ludicrous alpha strikes and are only targetable in a narrow window during their dives (all BT air to ground combat is basically dive bombing because JDAMs are lostec). But there is no reason a heavy bomber wing can't just paste a lance from outside any mech's sensor range.
