Don't know if this happened to anyone else, but couldn't find a post about it but this just happened to me in my last match. Was behind our group launching volley's of LRM from my Stalker and suddenly it reported a Team kill for me. First time its ever happened to me, and defiantly wasn't intended.

Probably killed a teammate directly engaging from close quarters.

It happens when two mechs from opposing teams love each other very much, during the initial hugging, before procreating a baby commando, you target the enemy and rain down hell, he dies but his partner (your teammate) doesn't move out of the remaining 4-5 volleys still on its way to the spot he is standing.

Or you had an opponent with brains and a bit of luck.
All you need to do is see where the LRMs are comming from and move really close to an opponent and slightly below him on a hill. That way all the LRMs will hit him and you are guaranteed a long rain because he will not stop targeting you while he is shooting.... plus you can shoot out his front armor while his back is being cored.

interesting, ok thought it may have been a bug. Thanks for the heads up.

Yep it's not a bug. I run missile boats sometimes and i've teamkilled thrice in my memory (got one just 2 days back).

it usually happens when the scouts insist on engaging the enemy from a distance of 1 metre.
