Seems like a bug. Just noticed this tonight. I was engaging an enemy Highlander at close (less than 50m) range. One of his buddies was firing LRMs at range at me from behind him, so the Highlander was between us. I was piloting an Awesome. The LRMs seemed to go through him and hit my core and I died in 2 or maybe 3 volleys. Also, I was mostly facing my arms to the highlander until I could turn to alpha him. Even if the LRMs hit him as well, it seems to me they shouldn't have hit my core. Anyone else notice this? Is it a bug or is it legit?

Haven't seen this so far, but that's becaus I wasn't in this kind of situation. As for hitting your core: Since they are homing and not coming in a stright line this should be possible, depending on their flight path.

Oh wait, I DID expirience that, from the other side: My LRMs goign though a firendly mech and travelign on to the target. The friendly mech was inside min range, the targeet was not, so I think that might influence it.

Hrmmmm. Possible, but not likely. Seemed like his buddy was a fair distance away, but I didn't get a good look. I guess I just WANT this tactic to be viable. I'm alright with it if it's not as long as LRMs don't constantly hit core, but since they do, then it's a little frustrating. ------ But still, the highlander should've taken some friendly fire. Probably was.

I would attribute that to lag.

Every time my missiles travel through a friendly mech they will either damage him or bounce off and get disabled.
