I was wondering if anyone else wished you could inflict some minor damage by landing on an enemy mech from above.

I have enjoyed the death from above mechanic in the past and this idea would provide another opportunity for a sneak attack. It could be interesting if fall height was incorparted into the damage.

Goomba stomping is already possible, and it's actually killed someone during the test (according to the poster who claims to have done it), but it does very minimal damage, so it'll only really work at the moment if the other mech has single-digit HP.

It does make sense you would take damage. It also makes sense the damage is minimal. The mechs would surely be built to withstand gratuitous loads from projectiles, etc so another mech on your head isn't a big deal, haha

*edit* on a random note, anyone tried stacking mechs to see how high they go yet? ^_^
