hello warriors
I'm curious about the title.
some of my man said when the armor is overheated by hitting(he white twinkle on the armor!)
it makes more damage or more critical hit chance
is this right? or not?

The armor glow just shows where there has been a lot of damage recently. If you fire a bunch of lasers into a spot the armor will start glowing, but it won't affect the damage. The damage doesn't go through to the structure until the armor is totally gone, when that happens you'll see a kind of explosion, with parts or smoke flying off from where the armor is destroyed. It will take some more damage after that to kill the mech!

I think that's what they'll add when the system's done.

Right now, the armor glow is a pretty effect, but nothing more than that.

no, that is not a feature, nor a planned feature

By "Twinkle in the Armor" is he referring to the explosion caused by a Gauss round?

No, armor that's glowing simply indicates it was hit recently- which does make it easier for other 'Mechs to target it at range, cause- well, glowing targets are easier to sight in on.

Hitting the armor while glowing has no exceptional effects as far as damage or anything else goes whatsoever. You want funny, watch someone who's being saturated by a quad MG Cicada in bullet bukka- er, let's just say they glow a lot without any real damage being done from the sheer number of annoying pings inflicted.
