Hello everyone,
Hypothetical situation:
I'm against an enemy 'Mech with 12 tons of ammo in his LT.
I strip the armor and miraculously manage to crit all of the ammo and cause them all to explode.
Since the rules say that if a component is destroyed, the remaining damage spreads to nearby components, the 'Mech evaporates, leaving nothing on the paper doll, head legs and all.
How many components have I destroyed?
What if it wasn't ammo explosion? (although AFAIK they are considered your damage if you cause the ammo to explode)
I believe an arm won't count towards component destruction when you blow up a ST, but what about if the component was actually destroyed?

1- Damage always transfers towards the CT, so once that ST is destroyed it applies damage to the CT and that's it.

2- Destruction of a ST gives you the Arm attached to it as well.

3- Now you know to farm clan mechs for side torso destructions for maximum Cbill income.
