Now, taking your point more seriously:
Mechaton probably FEELS like a WWII tank battle redone as anime, much as Star Wars (the original) is WWII fighter dogfights redone in space, but it's at a high enough level of abstraction that you can imagine the details to be fairly complex and far-out. And at least it HAS sensor rules.
Compare Battletech, which I think kludges on a few pieces of electronic warfare gear in later supplements, and which goes so far as to specify weapon ranges in meters that reflect dramatically POORER performance than World War II.
