Do most random games end up in close combat slugging matches?

No. But I did find that HtH seems to work well against Recon and Light Titans with new Jocks... Mainly because the Scanners and Battle Computers in Recon and Light Titants are usually low end. I made one Light Titan with the best scanner and battle computer and I was shocked at how much better the Titan performed in battle.

My longer range fire usually misses so CC seems inevitable.

I used to always set my move before attacking, you should do the opposite... If you are about to both move and shoot, shoot first, then set the move (you will have better To Hit modified if standing still). Again, try modifing your Titants to have better scanning and battle computer equipment.

... just wondering if that changes at higher levels.

No, not nessasarily

But lower level jocks and smaller titans do make it more common then with higher ranked jocks (better to-hits) and heavier titans (slower). So at higher levels you will not see as much CC, unless that's what your going for[:)]
