Every ace mech that took part in Operation Lighthouse possessed at least one unique advantage over their peers.
This was a given. Generic ace mechs didn't exist as such average machines would be an affront to the incredible strength and determination of ace pilots.
As such, the people who employed them usually invested as much as they could to weaponize them. By equipping them with the best possible ace mechs that they could obtain within their means, the various powers gained powerful trump cards that could single-handedly turn defeats into victories!
Not only did ace mechs provide mech armies with a crushing advantage against forces that lacked such a potent asset, they also provided critical protection against opposing ace mechs.
It did not surprise Ves at all that almost all of the ace mechs so far had primarily been designed with equal mech duels in mind.
