In reality I have no problems with explosives, just trying to avoid someone getting pissed because they totally didn't see that rocket exploding their face off.
I also get slightly concerned about everyone coming to the same decision of Blow through all the terrain ever to reach our target. Its why I'm not outlawing them but I'm putting the warning on them that I will have the game kick the crap out of you if you just shoot explosives about willy nilly.

Well, generally you don't shoot willy-nilly, you aim at the enemy, and, if you miss, you blow up a hill or something. Then you shoot again until you hit.
As for rockets exploding in your face, that's normally out of your control in a tank battle. Like, you can't dodge attacks. You can plan ahead and maneuver and take cover and keep an eye out for enemies that seem to be aiming at you, but in the end, someone's gonna take a rocket up the ass, and the only thing you can really hope for is that it won't be your tank getting blown to pieces.
That's kinda what's fun about modern combat, really. You can't be sure to win, you can just hope that you're on the winning side, and you're not among the x% casualties.

Gem, Gem, Gem. The important thing is that we all get mech sized combat knives so we can all get ourselves a good old fashioned knife fight.

Dibs on the broken bottle. Extra points if it gets ripped from a comically large advertising display.

Armour being a bit better is sort of taken for granted when you have mechs running around.

Well yeah, but 'armor's a little better' doesn't equate to 'swords are viable again!'.

Besides, if the things move as fluidly as a human, you've got a machine that can sprint at what, 300km/hr?

I was thinking more 30 km/hr, actually. And that's still pretty generous. Even if you had a small nuclear reactor, you wouldn't get the energy to go much further than that, let alone the forces it'd put on the joints and stuff.
Edit: Also, apologies if I'm overthinking this but I just spent 6 hours studying tort law, and I'm desperately seeking a distraction. : D
