Will you be able to topple over in MWO? Shouldn't you be able to?

I always found it to be strange that the bulky, awkward mechs of these games never fell over. It'd certainly add an element to the game if you could, say, knock over an assault mech from a cleverly directed jump-jet from above.

Similarly if you were hit at an angle while running with an AC-20 you'd certainly expect to topple over.

Thoughts?

I remember in MW4 you could be knocked over if you were hit with enough firepower but it was pretty rare though. I certainly hope that it is implemented in MWO.
It would be awesome to blast a jenner off its feet as it is running

I've also thought mechs have had it too easy scrambling down ridiculously steep mountain faces. It's about time for noobs to tumble down the mountain.

If mechs can fall, then can they be charged and or pushed into falling this is what I would like to know.

All I could think during that video was "Give me a seat and a double .50 cal and I can run around being a four legged Elemental!"

I believe there is already a thread about knockdowns. Either way i to hope there are knockdowns. With them including charging and dfa's in the game i would hope they allow toppling. Lets say a atlas rams a commando. If that commando doesnt get ran over i will cry b.s on that one.
