[Rascula]

If he's in a 'god-mode' mech, how did he take damage, much less critical damage? How abotu you show us these god-mode abusing pilots with the 12-0 kdr's.

i had a match yesterday in my AWS-9M with 3 PPCs in chainfire... i came up against a spider, and shot those 3 PPCs right into his torso, got hitmarkers on each shot, and his paperdoll didn't even change to color.... i recorded some matches yesterday, but i don't know whether this was one of them. i will check this when i get home and post it, if i recorded it.

I shot 2ppcs and an ac10 yesterday into a shut down victor. He definitely did not dodge the shots. None of them hit...


Just checking, was the spider under 90m as you hit him?

no.... between 100 and 120 meters... i know the effective range

[GalaxyBluestar]

@ OP; it's because your rear armour has taken dramatic dmg and the core will soon be exposed.

This is what I was after. You are saying that this is a warning that does not necessarily have anything at all whatsoever even a little bit to do with actually taking critical damage.

To this I say that the warning is very badly named.

I do too have hit reg problems with all kinds of mechs, they don't occur often (harder to tell with lasers then ballistics...) but I recently had a Jagermech that was legged and somehow survived 3 x 6medlaser alphas into his remaining leg with apparently no dmg.

On the other hand, 3 days?! ago my K2 Cat had 0 problems killing a spider with ppcs at 100m range... (poor noob apparently)

And my Atlas usually does well with the UAC5s at hit reg, when i hit small mechs...

many people ignore this and soon their internal ct is ruined and they've died to a backstabbing. the system is doing everything it can do to save you that embarresing death.

i wouldn't knock it if i were you.

Nope, this doesn't happen until your core turns yellow.

funny it happens to me aswell as the op. i thought it was when over 50-90% of your armour gets stripped quickly. i've seen many people through spectating get the crit warning without any internals showing yet.

[Kaspirikay]

Check out catapults. as soon as someone looks at my back in a weird way i get the warnings

[C E Dwyer]

Because your armour is bellow a certain value, its telling you next hits there is going to get messy...

There a sensible answer

Thanks. What I'm really after is a clear and concise explanation of this. I want to make a suggestions thread totally bitching up about how this mechanic works but I need to fully understand it first.

[Commodore Frank]

I've been at 95% with no internal damage with the critical warning flashing. I've also had a red CT with no flashing. The system makes no sense to me.

[Xeno Phalcon]

yeah the rear CT warning system is a weee bit touchy.if anything on your backside turns red, dosnt have to be a armor breach even, it will stick you with a critical damage warning the rest of the ******** match sometimes.
