What combat role could a mech play on a real battlefield?

Conveniently, I'm an armorsmith. Joint protection is not a major hurtle, and fully armored joints were commonplace in the later suit's, just look at the Maximillian styled armors. This is a suit, there's flesh, muscle, and fat in the way. If anything it'd be far easier to armor a mech where the armor is integral.
