how exactly are melee weapons effective anyways
like, does this imply a massive fuckoff huge bombard would be an excellent CQB firearm for battletech mechs? ig the AC20 might count but depending on source its a hyperburst of tank rounds or howitzer shells.
The question of what you do when you actually come face to face with your enemy was a strange one to crop up again in the Star League. After all, for centuries, war had been beyond visual range, via remote drone, or at the very most between trench or treeline or what-have-you. Close quarters battle was largely eschewed in favor of hurling grenades, detonating kamikaze drones, or calling for artillery.
But wind it forward to when the first melee 'mechs start to make a name for themselves. One 'mech can certainly pound the position its pilot thinks another is lurking in, but that really won't help much, except raising your heat levels and burning up your ammo. Neither of those are things you want to do. So, you need a 'mech that can ferret out hunkered enemies, that can chase them down, like a trench-raider. It has to charge in and slug an armored giant to death: that's what melee 'mechs, broadly speaking, are for.
You're getting hammered by an Archer or a Marauder keeping the whole area under their sights? The bigger they are, the more of them there is for the Hatchetman to whack. And that's a Hatchetman that is smaller and cheaper than them. It's emblematic, in a way, of the Succession Wars era as a whole: an ingeniously simple, corner-cut cheap, yet viciously effective kind of way to inflict raw damage on a battlefield where victory is bought in metal weight.
