Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Is it time for an Underwater Rules Overhaul (?)
« Last post by AlphaMirage on Today at 09:07:41 »I believe the standard rules are that any location without armor floods if you enter water so that is already taken care of. That said yes prior damage taken is not counted for the breach rolls.
I think the other thing might be that a water vessel should be built to watertight standards so they shouldn't flood if a location is destroyed. Battlemechs are not normally, however I think maybe having a reinforced chassis protects the components inside so that armor breach doesn't auto-flood. Gives reinforced structure a greater reason to be used and could enable underwater construction/mining mechs which I think might give you more reasons to fight down there.
