Enemy mechs at high levels seem kinda... tame?

For context, this is with a super-high level character (240+) with most combat skills maxed out, playing on Extreme difficulty. Starfield, like most RPGs and TB strategy games, has an inverse difficulty curve: the longer you play, the easier it gets as you collect powerups and generally get stronger. So for the most part, even on Extreme I don't have too many problems. But mechs seem to be particularly unthreatening. Human enemies can still kill me if I don't pay attention, and if they have the right guns, they can do it in just a few seconds. With a mech, however, I can stand in front of it and just tank the damage indefinitely -- as in, my health never drops below 90-95% despite all the explosions going on.

Don't get me wrong, mechs are still a huge damage sink and can take a long time to kill without drops. But it seems like they should be doing a bit more damage back than right now.

(The opposite holds for melee monsters, in particular critters like ashta and the things in the Doom mod... is there a forum to discuss that?)

My first run through Watchtower was on my level 79 full stealth, solo non-starborn character. I was killing level 84 AI Mech's with my shotgun. Since then I have started new saves with my newest one reaching level 57 (still no points in Combat) and it seems much more challenging. Esp the Watchtower Wardens. However I have not tried to facetank a Mech... yet. Rosie will prolly get (even more) pissed at me :D

From the Creation webpage:
"This DOOM inspired mini-quest from the team at Kinggath Creations is presented by Bethesda Game Studios"

I def missed that when I was looking at the mod. Since they made it for Bethesda Game Studios, I'd imagine BGS would be responsible for any forum "stuff" and since nothing else Starfield related, including even the "Shattered Space" DLC has a forum.... 🤷 Certainly worth asking (y)
