NEXTs aren't standard infantry (in fact, one of the primary reasons why Arms Forts are used, and are actually more common than NEXTs is because finding a pilot with high enough AMS capability to pilot a NEXT and developing their talents is really hard to do). They're pretty much the Space Marines of mechs in the ACverse. Arms Forts, Normals and MTs would do the majority of the combat, while NEXTs would be deployed when absolute battlefield dominance is required.
How common are NEXTs? Could they survive a the detonation of Titan's reactor? What about Vortex Missiles which basically teleport a 3 kilometer sphere of reality elswhere? Could they handle the
IG spamming Vortex Missiles and Deathstrikes? While
AC has better mecha it doesn't beat the fact that the Imperium works by playing the Zerg Rush strategy against the fricking Zerg. If in doubt send in more Titan Legions. Not to mention that larger Titan Legion deployments come with massive supporting forces.
All the agility in the universe won't help when every cubic centimetre of airspace above the average height of guardman is full of munitions.
Going back I recall the Apocalypse Class titan, not sure from where, but it had Titan weapons in its shin armour and several on each arm and shoulder.
I have
FA but never got round to playing it.
