I have an idea for how to have battle Mechs in a realistic sci-fi setting!!!

They are ceremonial

Since Mechs are really cool but kinda impractical....have that been the point. "we are so powerful that we can go out of our way to make war machines that are slightly worse but way cooler and still win" it's intimidating and inspiring to see giant walking humanoid robots on the battlefield, but mostly they are used for propaganda rather than actual combat....

Bring them in once the day is already almost won to Finnish up the battle and claim that the Mechs were the thing that brought final victory. Then have your photo shoot and make lots of posters for all your citizens to look at and go "wow that's so cool. I sure am glad my tax money is being wasted on this instead of going to something practical or beneficial to society"
