<p>I meant in features, and I agree, the IBT is <i>much </i>tougher. </p><p>Also don't the mechs have shields? </p><p>EDIT: Now that I think of it, mechs can't touch water... </p>

<p>Nothing can touch water save for boats </p><p>And yes mechs can have shields through certain upgrades </p>

<p>The mechs have shields the average IBT pilot would kill for, they keep working, they're not on a timer though I'm not sure if they recharge, I haven't had even the level 1 discharged significantly. </p><p>Given I don't usually carry explosives outside grenades and my GE-64 mechs can pose a threat briefly. The power core given you can only carry a couple of shots can help level the playing field but means ditching my "Final Argument", which is just not happening usually (ok I admit I switched to the M488 to deal with the "anti aircraft", because the alternative was trying to sneak around and snare turrets so they pointed away, the only other time I've used any of the FOWs was again the M488, versus our newest former dictator. </p><p>Coincidentally you can reoppress Lacrima, but still not the eDEN airship or digsites. </p>

<p>(Spoilers) </p><p>Speaking of that volcano battle, once someone had him crash the Mstitel into a rock... </p>

<p>And I hit a glorious bug running around in my mech (coincidentally max speed with full upgrade is 125km/h). </p> <figure class="article-thumb tleft show-info-icon" style="width: 400px"><span class="thumbnail-play-icon-container"><svg class="thumbnail-play-icon" viewbox="0 0 180 180" width="100%" height="100%"><g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g opacity=".9" transform="rotate(90 75 90)"><g fill="#000" filter="url(#a)"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g><g fill="#FFF"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g></g><path fill="#00D6D6" fill-rule="nonzero" d="M80.87 58.006l34.32 25.523c3.052 2.27 3.722 6.633 1.496 9.746a6.91 6.91 0 0 1-1.497 1.527l-34.32 25.523c-3.053 2.27-7.33 1.586-9.558-1.527A7.07 7.07 0 0 1 70 114.69V63.643c0-3.854 3.063-6.977 6.84-6.977 1.45 0 2.86.47 4.03 1.34z"></path></g></svg></span> <figcaption> <p class="title">Wow what a ride...</p> <p class="caption">Mech related bug</p> </figcaption></figure>

<p>Interesting... </p><p>Mech despawing on you </p><p>New glitch </p>

<p>Totally random and extremely annoying, the HUD overlay you'll note stuck on too, even after a fast travel. </p>

<p>It did? </p><p>EDIT: Saw it </p><p>Wow... </p>

<p>Yeah I can't tell what triggered the issue, though I've had cars explode hitting the end of a bridge at high speed back on day 1 so who knows. At least the Eviction Drone was working nicely on Lacrima for me. And just for the record PS4 is the platform I own and play JC3 on. </p>
