You sure? 🤔 I watched videos from a few different content creators and they all showed back and side damage is attainable by the pods exploding. They were sticking on a wall.
Yeah I saw the sticky bombs on walls hitting the flanks of mechs in scape211's video which came out before Ruffles' latest video about it and they appeared to get flanking damage in that one so perhaps it was a retroactive change after people made compa to disk launcher or somethin but yeah in ruffles' video I saw no bonus damage for hitting the flanks with the explosions
