Recently had a mech in game power down in front of me, i unloaded 4 alpha's onto him and he powered back up after showing no change in his mech's damage doll. He powered down again as we were capping already, and i had no way to kill him while he was shut down.
He was in a Catapult C1, loaded with LRMs. I was in a founders hunchback, emptied many AC/20 rounds and laser bursts into center - i do not believe a catapult can take that much damage. Pretty sure he wasn't moving either (powered down).
Anyone had this issue come up so far? I have the player's name as well, but will not post it unless a mod requires it.

This is due to a netcode issue. The mech stops where he starts to power down but the animation continues and visually carries the mech till he is fully powered down. The hitbox remains where he began to power down at. Lag shoot him behind where you think he is and you'll start scoring some hits.
