kill from behind mechanics of tailsting not working?
Hi, Mech Arena folks. I got tailsting from an ECR a while ago and thought I'd try it to help with an onging "kill 10 mechs from behind" event task. I thought it would be relatively easy since tailsting's ability explicitly prevents mech's from turning.
But that's not the case, from my experience at least. Even if I catch the mech facing away from me, apply the ability and kill it, it almost never counts towards the goal. What gives? Is it because the legs turn so I'm now shooting half of it from the front?
Seems like a bug, or at least a mechanic that needs to be explained better.
(I'm using reavers by the way.. haven't tried this with other weapons.)
