Any mech series where they stomp on and shit all over tanks typically has nothing to fear from drones, because they ARE the drones of their setting, the new big upset to established warfare that everyone is scrambling to deal with. If it can walk through tank fire, there's nothing to fear from even smaller, more disposable stuff. Its role has already been established, the old world doesn't matter to them.

Any mech series that actually does directly tackle it just gives them point defense measures. Of course the series made before drones didn't give them drone counter measures and the series made after might. Makes sense. Stick a little CIWS on the gundam and he's good to go. Armored Core already had that settled.

It's like everyone wants to extrapolate the russians using old dogshit that can't keep up with modern war anymore and say "yeah the gundam is like that, right? A big old hunk of shit in a stagnant force that can't keep up with new developments?".

I'm not not taking any advice from 08th, unless you want to say the pilots should get out and dodge the drones by leaping around.
