If you're a Gundam fan, you should be playing Gundam Battle Operation 2!!! In what other game can you play an RGC-80 GM Cannon (1 2) and have an ultra-fun battle against an RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam (1 2) in the middle of an abandoned city? Or beat down an MSN-02 Zeong (1 2) with an AMX-011P Zaku III Psycommu Type (1 2) as you dodge and weave between asteroids?

Example pulse-pounding gameplay:

The game can be played FOR FREE on PC (try to play during hours when the playercount is high), PS4, and PS5. Some MSes are available only through a gacha system, but the game definitely isn't pay-to-win, and even the gacha-only suits can be purchased with non-premium currency after a few months.

In-game power levels range from 100 (e. g., level 1 GM) to 750 (level 4 Zeta Gundam or level 1 Gundam F91) in theory, but in practice matches don't go lower than 250 or 300. Personally, I'm not a big fan of high-power battles and space battles, and stick to ground battles in approximately the 400–550 range, with occasional forays into 250–350 and 600 if no other matches are available. My most-used MSes are Guncannon Heavy Type D, Jegan Heavy Equipment Type, Dom Cannon Multi-Gun Type, and Galluss-K. (Yes, I love shoulder cannons, how could you tell?)
