Oddest thing happened to me earlier - in truth it's happened a few times but didn't pay much heed to it. Now I want to ask what the situation is...

I alpha struck mech X (can't remember what it was), and blew off some parts of its body. It was a heavy strike, needless to say. It walked around for about five or six seconds, and just blew up. I got the kill too.

Lol?

I've seen a delay of 0.5-1s... but never 6, that's crazy!
lol

If a mech blows up due to shutdown override, the last person to damage it gets the credit for the kill.

6 Seks a bit steep but i had some 2 Sek... mostly Ammo Mechs which then had Ammo Chain reaction.

I've seen this many times with a delay of ~1-3sec (especially after a heavy alpha with srms).
I guess Elkarlo could be right, ammo explosions could account for the delay.

ammo explosions were easy to recognize with their specific sound, why did they remove it

In the past there were random bug/feature regressions as if they had people working on different source code revisions at the same time.
