In starfox, there is a level where you fly around in space and kill
robot/mech things, I dunno if that's what you mean though. But I think (from
a non-anime oriented perspective) that mecha could easily be pitted agains't
spacecraft and have a fighting chance. Their manueverabily capabilities
would be far greater than a spacecraft I think,

Just go play Starfox (I'm sounding a little lame here, oh well) the
mech/robot's maneuverability is far greater then that of your craft, and it
is harder to find the mechs/robots in the first place, then shoot them down.

Just getting into the whole anime realm, I can't really talk from an
experienced point of view, but oh well,
