I don't know if this is a real problem or not since it has only happened to me 3 times out of 190 games, but there are times my Jenner is running and I'll suddenly have critical damage to my center torso. No boom, no screen shake, nothing.
Has this happened to anyone else, or am I just running mechs that have leaky engines?

You got shot previously and the game didn't update properly or quickly. You probably had the shakes a few seconds beforehand, and your paper doll didn't update so you ignored it.
A fast jenner benefits from netcode issues that have a hard time supporting such speeds. If your ping isn't great that increases the effect. Chances are your mech is just outrunning the cause but not the effect.
It used to happen in World of Warcraft too. Running past something with a ranged attack while on a mount would drag the ranged attack with you for a few seconds, but the damage applied long before the lightning actually hit you.

That sounds logical, thanks. Now all I have to do is learn proper tactics. (I'm usually the first to die or I die with only a head and left leg intact.)

It seems to be a new problem.. I noticed last week and thought it was just me.. I will take sudden damage to the Paper Doll but have none of the other indications of being hit.. No rock no sound and the Red directional damage thing does NOT flash.. just suddenly damaged.. More then likely part of the over all hit detection issues but who knows for sure?
