Actually, yes. It's only a +1, regardless of how many turns have passed. But it makes a difference when it kicks in - especially with things like VTOL and hovercraft sideslip checks.

D'oh. I always forget that it's only ever a +1 ... on some more complex maps, that cuts in before contact with the OpFor, so I tend to switch it off.

I love the LB-20X. My personal best was scoring six head shots over two rounds of firing only the 20. Pilot dies through damage and I salvage a mech that needs less than 2 tons of armor in repairs.

Elmoth · « **Reply #1029 on:** 05 March 2021, 08:03:53 »

I would say that 6 lbx20 shots to the head would need a whole head replacement xD

StratCon capture mission... they can get very hard, as crippling without destroying a unit is not easy, and the target is randomly selected.
That time, I got a Nightshade VTOL... which meant I had to somehow disable it without destroying or crashing it!
After a few turns of missing or hitting its surprisingly strong armour, a lucky SRM hit its rotor... while it was at altitude 1! So I got something quite rare: an immobilized VTOL and a succesful capture...

- Adjacent Phoenix Hawk PXH-1 (mine) takes crit to right shoulder
- Nearby Awesome AWS-9M (mine) takes crit to right shoulder ... and one of the ER PPCs (no worries, it's got two more)
- Adjacent Shadow Hawk SHD-5M (mine) 'merely' takes armour damage
- To add to the insult, the S-Hawk and the P-Hawk then take some damage from the ammo explosion.
- And then the S-Hawk and the P-Hawk both fall over.

Scenario - My Clan Smoke Jaguar Heavy Battle Star (3rd Trinary, 4th Jaguar Dragoons) is fighting three stars of 'mechs and an artillery star of Clan Goliath Scorpion forces. A bunch of Bandit Caste star fighters decided to crash the trial. One dropped Thunder bombs on my Dire Wolf's position. My Dire Wolf managed to shoot down the bomber's wingman, an Eagle. Things got very bad when the Eagle pilot punched out...

I've had one or two fighters fall out of the sky, and for some bizarre reason *survive* the crash. One even fled by taxiing off the field of battle.

I've also seen it get to the point of reducing SI to 0 early on, then go for two pages of additional damage. To borrow a phrase: "He's dead, Jim!".

Talk about a poor lady with their luck running out. I've never seen a pilot eject from a crash. xp

Seem cruel to be crashing on a minefield. Hell a regular infantry minefield verses a vibro type that keeps anything heavier than mech triggering the thing. xp xp

Not necessarily a crazy hit...
I took a star of elite Clan pilots, (2A, 2H, 1M) plus two bot supports against a pair somewhat upgraded regular Drac Mech/vee companies. They never stood a chance. They were significantly lighter.

For my actual addition to crazy hits. After I gave myself a /victory on the last turn I stopped my retreat and just turned around and gave some parting shots. End up pushing in the front of a Drac Balac (hybrid), blowing off its rotor, and critting out the ammo. I think it took upwards of 300 damage that turn.
