[Mecha] How do Mecha compare against more conventional types of vehicles such as "regular" tanks and planes?

That depends on where it is on the scale of Real Robot vs. Super Robot.

Real Robot:

They're able to go on rougher terrain than tanks. You can't just drive a tank up a mountain. Planes are even better than that for obvious reasons, but they can't be given as heavy loads.

Mecha pay for this by being much more expensive and prone to breaking than tanks.

Super Robot:

They're much easier to control since they can just copy the motion of the pilot. Due to using extremely expensive alloys, they're incredibly well armored and they rarely break down. Since the materials are so expensive, a tank with the same armor would be almost as expensive, but not nearly as agile, so it's not worth it.
