Similar to the Inferno Question, just thought best to create a new thread
https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=64121.0I am going to assume an attack from a Flamer dealing heat damage only against a target with partial cover, or being swarmed by infantry/carrying battle Armor, that on a successful hit, one must roll for location to see if it
really hit, or it hit the cover/infantry instead.
Obviously (with regards to Battlemech Manual) if using the Enhanced flamer this question is moot.
