Battletech kinda reminds me of Chromehounds in a way.
>Your hounds, the expensive mechs that form the cornerstone of your military
>The ACV’s, the cheap mechs (like the bugmechs) designed to be spammed en mass, die fairly quickly but still require some attention to take out
>The tanks and IFV’s (like the convees) designed to serve as speed bumps, die in few light hits but still do enough scratch damage you don’t want to just ignore them
