As a larger slower mech I find it annoying that small mechs can run into your face. They press right up your model and move around. I am not complaining about skill or speed of these classes, but too many players are exploiting the lack of collision damage rather than relying on proper dodge mechanics.

Slamming into another larger mech at full speed should produce damage and kickback..

There needs to be a type of momentum based physics mechanism when dealing to mech on mech contact.

Like I posted twice on purpose

There is no way to delete a post and I already reported it to a mod to have fixed.

MWO online had something like this in closed beta, and it ended up being really annoying. Not saying that it's a bad idea, it makes sense, but it would need to be done carefully, otherwise it would give the larger mechs an advantage in terms of momentum.

That said, I would love to be able to ram my Brawler into pesky A-Class mechs

+1 OP

I would like to see some damage done by ramming, even if it is that last 40 HP when your weapons are all overheated.

And that double post comment Pffff, Off topic and way out of line.

+1 But I'm torn...

I still occasionally will ram into a player on instinct to try to do that last bit of damage when I'm overheated, even though I know it doesn't do anything currently, so I like the idea but...

Would it only inflict damage on enemies, not teammates_ I can see it being annoying to damage your teammates when you rub shoulders. And I'm not interested in playing mech ping-pong (though shoving someone off a ledge could be handy for sure.)

If they did that I could just push everyone off of the Titan bridge while stomping them with my Flak cannon and TOW Brawler
And that would be tremendously broken
