Can someone explain this to me ?
Refer to the video below at 3min 35 secs.
Since when does 1-2 secs of overheat leg a Raven instantly ??
That one leg should have 16 points of internal structure and I even took damage in the internal left torso...

What the hell happened here ? Internal overheat AC20 ?

Looks like a leg ammo explosion due to internal damage... Love the RNG factor bro.... Imagine when MASC does exactly the same RNG thing..

RNG Factor ?
Ohhh... Random Number Generator.

If only I was carrying ammo of any sort.. ERLL ravens do not have that luxury.
I suspect there could some sort of damage calculation bug (then again.. it's could be 'intended') when overheating in the volcano area.
Internal AC20 is really harsh !

Edit: Double check.. Nope no ammo in the legs.

Terra Therma lava bug maybe?

Hmmm.. Thought the lava bug was a constant thing ? This one is obviously due to the overheat. Question is.. why so, much damage ?

I think it is because you were activating override to bypass the shutdown, I may not be right but I swear reading somewhere that overriding shutdown increases the chance of more damage to your mech.

I think I will do one test in testing ground tonight to see what is up before I toss this one to support for an explanation.
If I recall correct wasn't overheat damage suppose to be done only after 5 secs of >= 100% ? Or they might have changed that rule ? Hmmmm...

Aren't we surprise how unclear this topic is ?

Ok did some testing in testing ground.
And found the answer.

It seems that over heat damage can be increased by ambient temperature.

So 1-2 secs overheating in the volcano where it is hottest can mean instant death.

Man, that's just weird...!?

Could it be delayed HSR?

I've experienced it where you suddenly a massive amount of damage which is really the accumulation of damage that wasn't reported in the prior 4-5 seconds... I know JagerXII has had it too.

Yes overheating in Lava is bad news, found that out the hard way.

It seems overheating over the lava on the walkways is also bad news.

Yup. You can test this issue for your self.
I was comparing Modor and Forest Colony in testing ground... It seems that ambient temperature is taken into account when you take overheat damage.

Like people mentioned.. Over Lava or magma.. I said.. Over Lava not on Lava... Could be instant death for a Light.

This 'must be a working as intended, feature.'
