I've pondered this for a month or so.

While a Rocketeer or Brawler is repairing and their strut arms are down behind them. Do they take reduced damage from behind_

no

They should... it's only logical.

In my honest opinion the barricades should reduce incoming damage even when not deployed. But only for the shots that hit them

You would see a phenomenal amount of kiting by skilled C class players. Think about it, you'd fire off a salvo and put yourself on all your cooldowns - then Shift+S to turn around and kite for a bit - then Shift-S again to present yourself for another salvo.

Actually, now that I talked it through, it would seem that could introduce some finesse to the C class play. So, effectively speaking, C classes take x% reduced damage from their rear quarter_

When walking a C class' strut arms are above them. Perhaps when walking they take reduced damage from above.

It's not a huge improvement, but the C mechs could use a bit of extra help, and it would be realistic.

This is just how i imagine the turret form, one being able to deflect projectiles and reduce damage from explosions, the other allowing to dash while changed.
