Hmmmm looking at the tech readout 3025 VTR-9B, IS for the legs are 17, Armor at 20
Understanding that the VTR could jump about 120 meters, the airtime should be sufficient for the rifleman (LL/AC5s) to preformed the reduced alpha strike and continue firing the autocannons.
LL=8 damage 8x2=16 subtract around 4 points of damage for the initial miss = 12
37-12=25
AC5=5 damage 5x2= 10
10x3= 30
10x2.5=25 (aka 5x5)
25-30=-5
25-25=0
Understanding the victor is 120 m in the air, with a tonnage of 80 tons
Time to fall is 4.95 s
While lore doesn't give us the autocannon cycle time(differing manufacture), if we go by in game, the cycle is 1.68s
4.95/1.68=2.9464 which is close enough to 3 and definitely more than 2.5
Thus, we can safely assume that victor's leg is gone. The toppling over part could be a result of a faulty neurohelmet, pilot shock, pilot inexperience, or many other factors.
This fluff story does ring of Mary Sue, but lore wise, is relatively correct.
Edit: Twilight Fenrir does give a most excellent point. The armor is distributed, thus all 20 point of armor would not be in a single spot, leaving the rest of the leg exposed, +1 to you sir.

Game needs more lore, have these descriptions in-game too. Like under mech-info.
Totally agree! Love such background stories and mech info for that matter. Add stuff like that in-game, and it will be interesting for new players to learn about the different mechs they might want to get.

They didn't have 2x armor in the arena like MWO, Victors have relatively low leg armor in most [non-MWO] builds (20+34=54), another post above shows the maths.
It's entirely possible he nearly blew off the leg, the fall finished it off, and the rules said if you are clearly beat then you're "dead". The way it's written, he still could have retaliated. If you ever played MW3 multiplayer, you could 1v1 a much large mech if you could knock him down & maneuver behind him. I forgot which weapon did this at close range, but I trolled ppl all the time with that cheese build.
I hope you're joking, because everyone knows MWO isn't 100% lore-accurate.
