Is there a mecha game where instead of controlling the mechas, you play as OPS. You:
>design and construct mechas
>pick and train the pilot
>send the pilot teams on missions
>get a report on their success

iirc there's a build-the-secret-lair sim series for the ps1, they had the license for Shocker and stuff
but yeah that sounds like a few different things that aren't quite a total package, like X-Com / Princess Maker / Armored Core / A Report

Yes, kind of.

Asking, because if not, I thought maybe developing one.
Obviously, it would have no real graphics, but the focus would be on trying to select pilots with good personalities.
E.g.
>if two people in a squad hate each other, they might screw the mission
>if one of the pilots is a coward, and they witness one of their team mates killed, they might be freeze in horror
>if one of the pilots is arrogant, they might ignore orders and start doing their own stuff and get the entire squad killed

Technically yes, but not perfect match:
Formula Front (just speed up the automatic battles duh)
Carnage Heart (EXA has best quality of life but you're not doing a whole strategy campaign in there, unlike in previous games)
Gihren's Greeds (just autobattle and watch you realizing that autobattle works only in some cases where you vastly outnumber the enemy with the fitting units)
Afraid Gear 1 & 2 (no pilot selection and it's just arena, but customization autism where you'll need to follow a guide to survive, this is no Armored Core boy)
Mechsmith Run=Dim (like a better Afraid Gear)
Marionette Handler 1 & 2 (looks like a mix of Afraid Gear and Carnage Heart but haven't played myself yet)There was also some okayish Chinese single player turn based game on steam recently like what you describe, some dispatches are purposefully zero combat event ones
