I also have a Patton with 4 x Gekkos. Even at a longer range, like 700m or more, a slow mech in the open is in real trouble. The laser doesn't miss and instantly hits. The Patton is fast and can expend the 4-5 second burst and then hide from return fire quickly then do it over again. You can really tear down the hp of a big mech. The Patton's speed needs to be at the highest upgrade, but it can work in medium range fights too.

However, with a GAU or GAU -T or something like that in your face at close range, you are in trouble. It's not good for close range.
