I just had a game earlier on River City in my K2.
I moved to the river (started at lower base) and took a few potshots at distant mechs, moved with the group to Epsilon, then to the enemy base (the enemy took Kappa then our base while this was happening), then while my team moved to Theta i went to take Kappa.
Other than the first distant shots i never saw the enemy, yet while taking kappa i realized my ct armour was orange, both side torso's and left arm were yellow...and my head had no armour and the internals were red!

There was no warning, and as far as i'm aware i wasn't even fired upon

Last night I was running around in my STK and after a brief scuff with another mech, I noticed the red text across my screen read "CRITICL DAMAGE". I looked at my weapons list....all green. I look at my armor....nothing worse than orange. No internal damage either. I didn't overheat or override my shutdowns. What the....?

Does MWO allow crits through armor, like the tabletop? Or is this just some weird glitch?

if you have low armor on the back, a 6 SRM6 volley from head on can splash your rear too. that's why.
