So I'm running this just out of boredom.

We're into the game about 6-7 mins on Forest Colony, and battle is going pretty well in our favor, we're up by 4 kills.

But our assault team is starting to get flanked right side on the river by the the remainder of the OP4's mediums and heavies, and pinned in on the left by a Hellbringer and Warhawk.

I'm pounding away at this stormcrow and others and supressing them on that right flank and ran out of ammo, so I decide to rush in on left at the Warhawk and Hellbringer to distract them and allow my team to push in.

So I'm using my right side as a shield since I'm out of AC-5 ammo anyway, still got my SRM's, lasers and MG. And just as expected that Warhawk and Hellbringer light me up asap and rip off my right arm, next shot blows off my RT as I try to position around the Warhawk.

Suddenly I watch my Ct Flash nonstop and I quickly die even though it was freshly stripped and barely yellow from my RT going off, still had plenty of structure there in my CT.

Death listed as Ammo Explosion, likely from my RT where I had that 1/2 ton of MG ammo still left, as my head was still fully armored.

I just find it quite comical that 1/2 ton of MG ammo could annihilate my CT like that, even after the RT containing it had already been blown off.

Anyone else find this funny, if not downright embarrassing?

Ammo explosions always have a strange feel in this game lol. I remember quite some Lrm staklers that died after loosing a leg

I hate it when ammo explosion goes from your leg and up. Cant be more annoying then this.

Next time, pack CASE on the RT, I suppose. Also, stupid Clans with their free CASE protecting all torsi and limbs. That needs to be balanced. IS CASE should reduce explosion damage by 50% or something.
