Unfortunately it's a bit of a short battle, but what's so lovely about
the 
scene in Wings of Honneamise is that, unlike most anime series, it's not
a 
"hold them off until the giant robot pilot(s) can get it's act together
and 
save us!" type of thing.  It's just grunts & pilots, having it out
because 
they're following orders... lots of confusion, some shifting viewpoints,

and a great soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto.  (Well, he was one of four 
composers for the soundtrack anyway; I'm not sure off the top of my head

what other tracks he did than "Senso".)

Wings is, IMO, one of the best movies out there. ^_^  Though I am a bit
of 
a sucker for "get-'em-into-space" type movies.... <grin>
