This is an advanced graphics engine, why can't Mechs "bleed" hydraulic fluids and coolant?

Mechs don't really use hydraulics for movement though, they use artificial muscles. Just pointing that out.

Mech's don't bleed they do not have piston engine they have fusion engines no need for oil,fuel,antifreeze.

Just as you can see sparks fly out, I think it would be interesting, but it should only last for a short while, I don't think you'd likely see coolant spraying out for 5 minutes. Maybe just for a good second or few after say an arm gets lobbed off.

In the books, 'Mech would often lose cooling fluid when shot at. Also, the armor plates become liquid metal when hit by energy weapons.

Maby a few second bleed by nothing like Arterial Bleeding that you bleed like a fountain till you die.

Destroyed mechs smoke but it should also ‘short circuit’ spark and leek coolant & bang as remaining ammo explodes one at a time, and a few flames wouldn’t hurt. The artificial muscles should be malfunctioning by moving.

That last one is already in the game via physics glitches with the ragdolls, lol.

Yeah, breakdancing Ravens, fun times.
