Career mode - melee oddities?

[Allagash]

I'm running stock 1.3.1 417R. Started a new career mode. Ironman, all other options default.

I'm noticing that melee attacks are not doing what I expect. Successful melee attacks on vehicles are not doing 2x damage.

Also, successful melee attacks on mechs are not removing their visible evasion pips markers.

Is this normal and expected?

I don't recall any patch notes to that effect. If you're not running any mods (which might break things) you should make a bug report.

In 1.3, I'm pretty sure the bonus vehicle damage was working. I don't think I've punched any tanks since 1.3.1, though.

As far as evasion, melee was removing 1 evasion pip (at least, the -1 evasion text popped up, I didn't check the chevrons). That was working that way last night, which was after I updated to 1.3.2.

Bonus vehicle damage is still working.

However, the Hatchetman isn’t always using that wonderful hatchet animation on non-vehicle melee attacks.

anyone else having an issue with footstomping a striker in an Atlas doing only armor damage?
