Ah, I see your point.

Unless Angel's are packing torpedo's, I don't think we quite have the firepower to punch through the Contender's hull anymore than we did the Eliticor's. It's kinda of the Machina's gimmick to have these big, really tough to destroy mobile fortresses with them. Practically ever battle with a Machina force is a siege. Also while the angel's do have wings (Most do anyways, Dora doesn't), the Contender also has guns to shoot stuff out of the skies, and the skies are notably lacking in protective cover.
