Medium tanks are the most expensive ground unit, but for the price you get a vehicle that absolutely dominates ground battles, with a ton of movement, fuel, and ammo to keep them going. Their main weakness is ranged fire from artilleries, rockets, and of course battleships. Because medium tanks are so expensive, you probably don't want to take one against a mech, either - you'll lose more in the damage taken than the entire mech is worth.
