First a disclaimer: I'm new, have looked through the search engine and haven't found anything that pertains EXACTLY to what I'm talking about.  I apologize in advance if I missed it. 

Ok, now that we have that out of the way, my idea...

Remember the old MW games that had the damage display showing which parts of your 'mech were worst off.  You could look down there, see that your right arm was about to be blown off, and try to present your left to the enemy as much as possible to preserve it.

Anyway, has MWLL considered anything like this?  ARE there separate hit locations or just sort of one big life/armor-bar?  I mean it was always intrinsic to my strategy back in the day to blow off the most offending weapons, or take off a leg because the armor there was weaker than the torso and I'd love to see that return in MWLL.


Thanks in advance for the info, and a little sucking up: you guys do a FANTASTIC job of keeping up with the community and listening to input.  The mod is looking great, and I'm glad you are so driven to get this done, and get it done right!

well, crysis by default has locational damage and damage displays for the vehicles so its already in the engine.

That's what I mean...and oh no, I hope I didn't just start a quote-off....

I think it'd end up being like mechcommander damage displays.

You might have yourself something there Kit.  Although if this isn't the kind of thing they planned for, It'll be harder to impliment than a statically placed display.  Also, I'm not sure how in lie that is with BattleTech in general.

Briefly explained OW! The image and Fallout, nothing! The image and BattleTech/MechWarrior partly in the sence, e.g. all ´Mech starts with 100% armor value on their Unit, each hit degenerates the targeted area of the unit, in this case the unit consists of head, torso, left/right arm, add L/R Leg and also each weapon visible or able to be inflicted damage. This could be transfered further to each mayor moveable part of a unit too. Its nothing more than an idea (allready out-there), that I am not entirely in on the damage coding of MWLL and their 3D-objects in the game. see

What's wrong with HTAL ala MW2? It's a wee bit simplistic, but I'm not sure anything more in-depth is needed for the pace that these games go.
