HBK melee - double evasion decrease ? (BUG?)

[Raxxel]

Hi guys,

yesterday i experienced i interessting thing regarding evasion.

I jumped with my FS behind a HBK and attacked him with flamers etc; i got for the jump (!) 4 evasion pipes.

He did not get shutdown.

On his phase he did melee on my FS and therefor i lost one evasion.....

however as his small laser weapon attacked (while he meleed) my FS i got lost another evasion pipe.

Finally i lost 2 evasion pipes with a single melee attack.

( I experienced that only with the HBK opponent by now)

(Normally you lose only 1 evasion pipe through attacks - right??)

What you think about that??

Is this correct? Did you ever experince that as well?

Might that be a BUG?

Thz for your comments in advance

No. That is no bug. It is working as intended. The Melee attack removed one Evasion Pip, and the Support Weapon attack removes a second Evasion Pip. It works with any Mech with Support Weapons, which Melees, not just the HBK. :bow:

Hey Prussian,

thz for your quick reply.

So this includes as well mgs and flamers besides small laser??

Had not thought it.

So it makes melee (with support weapons) the same value (according to evasion reduction) like sensor lock.

Nice to know......

(so a meleeing FS reduces 2 ev. pipes .... .......besides he inflict dmg)

Hey Prussian,

i forgot one Thing.

Does this "double evasion reduction", while using support weapons, also work with DFA ?? - or only with melee??

As long as the DFA-Mech possesses and employees Support Weapons, yes. : )
