So i was originally going post in Crazy Shot things. However, this is more a Crazy Move and yet survived thing.
So Essentially a LAM a friend mine is piloting for our team is trying harass some Hover tanks trying to invade our contractor's rebel city.
Flying in a Phoenix Hawk LAM in Air Mech mode, he skids over water...by a lot and he ends his skid as you lose levels of flying into water...here where it gets strange.
It submarines, he has to burn ALL his thrust get out of the water manages get airborne again in same turn!
I wasn't piloting it so i didn't see the numbers we didn't quite get MegaMek to describe what happened other than this.
Phoenix Hawk LAM PHX-HK2 (Iwaki no Shisha)v2 (Lunaya) must make a piloting skill check while moving from hex 1923 to hex 1822 (flanking and turning).
Needs 4 [4 (Base piloting skill) + 0 (flanking and turning)], rolls 3 : fails.
Phoenix Hawk LAM PHX-HK2 (Iwaki no Shisha)v2 (Lunaya) sideslips 1 hexes
Skids into hex 1823.
Phoenix Hawk LAM PHX-HK2 (Iwaki no Shisha)v2 (Lunaya) suffers 3 damage from the skid.
Phoenix Hawk LAM PHX-HK2 (Iwaki no Shisha)v2 (Lunaya) takes 3 damage to RL.
17 Armor remaining.
Skid ends.
Question of the day is. Was this really possible way he did it or did MegaMek said "Waaat....ahh...yeah it survives. Keep moving on nothing see here."
We believe it did. I'm just curious if anyone else ran into this.
I sort thought it was funny and luck he ran into situation the modern LAM rules allowed unusual situation for LAM to survive.
