ATM 6 start getting Ghost Heat for firing too many at once after 3 launchers, so that firing 6 at once will generate almost 50 heat. That is one way to kill yourself fast. Firing first 3 and then another 3 after will do 14 + 14 instead. The penalty is substantial.

Another one is walking out of bounds.

I don't think overheating will show as damage to yourself. Did you have an air strike / arty equipped on that mech? If so, I'm guessing it somehow got inadvertently dropped on you.

What map were you on? Hot map + random heat bug = dead on firing alpha.

You weren't running PPCs so the game accidentally your whole 'Mech.

It was me, I dropped an orbital strike on you from the upper atmosphere in my typhoon class Battleship.

Man, I haven't seen that happen in years. Hilarious when it does, though. In this (admittedly old) screenshot, a de-sync heat spike applied all the overheat damage to my head... not my finest moment.

overheat damage to head was patched out years ago, it simply cannot happen anymore.
