Frozen City
Hunchback 4J

I squared off against another Hunchback and we exchanged a couple of salvoes and I was declared destroyed. So I thought, wow this guys is good. Must have been a headshot or something.

After we get back to the mechlab I notice that there is only 6% damage to my mech. Still thinking headshot I go to load out and there is actually no damage to my cockpit at all.
My CT is damaged 25% and my LA is damaged 13%.

Either I was damaged very severly and it didnt carry over to the mechlab (in which case thanks for the CBills, or the game made some crazy damage calculation and declared me out for no reason.

I'm new to the game so maybe this is a known bug or has an ingame explaination but I thought I would pass it on.

AC/20 shots hitting CT, with some minor laser spray? That's the most likely cause, since another pilot with the same mech will know the hit-boxes well.

That or the hit-boxes glitched out, and the pilot got a lucky "though amour critical".

did you have an ammo explosion? that critted your engine?

These don't exist. Only possibility is a failed armor update.

Have you checked your rear ct? 25% CT armor gone = could be your rear

When I run around with my jenner I like to shoot rear CenterTorso of enemy mechs who are fighting others.
I use only my mlaser when I think I was not detected. SSRM/SRM/LRM/AC/Gauss will shake you a lot, my 4 mlaser not that much.

There are sometimes fights in which I can kill 2 enemies without being detected.
My best game was :
Sneaked to enemy base ( did not enter cap area ) and moved from there into the rear of the enemy team.
Placed 4* 4 MLaser salvos at rear ct of atlas, killed him. Enemy team did not see me.
Placed 3*4 MLaser salvos at rear ct of Cataphract, killed him. Enemy team did not see me.
Placed 3*4MLaser salvos at rear ct of Catapult, killed him. Enemy team did not see me.
Placed 2*4MLaser salvos at rear ct of Hunchback, Hunchback Pilot noticed the damage and began to turn around, and finally saw me. After the Hunchback began to move, I used all my weapons. Finished the Hunchback, but got a lot of incomming damage, since NOW the enemy team woke up, and attacked me.

Was a won game.

Sounds like you got your Centre Torso blown out. IIRC 75% repair means that if you have 25% armour left on a location in the mechlab, it was totally destroyed in game.

You probably faced a very accurate strike by either a Medium Laser Boat or a combination of Medium Lasers and an AC/20.

I haven't seen any other 'through armour criticals' since the last patch. Apparently they never really existed, prior to the patch it only looked that way because the damage from the final hit that kills wasn't properly updated.

you won't see anything with greater than 25% damage in the mechlab (75% free R&R)
