Then you are making bad pokes.

+1. I see the newer players my group plays with make this mistake all the time. Gotten to the point of having to say something about it before they poke into a combined 200+ damage.

I mean even when know where they are....

if you know they are there, why are you peeking? Time to reposition, or wait for your team to distract. Poking into 4 heavy/assault mechs is profoundly dumb.

Distraction, and get a member or two to reposition and hit them from the back, while they are distracted, push in and cause a confusion which may help you win. Make sure the pokers scrape and of their backs to turn them around. when this is done, the others should push in immediately and get the jump on them. That's some training I did for my unit who were going to participate, always worked the first time, second to third time they smarten up.
