Charles B

Make BattleTech mechs fall down when they miss because that's funny.

BattleTech Mod (using BTML and ModTek) that adds instability/knockdown when a melee attack misses.

Features

• when melee'ing and miss, add some instability
• when melee'ing and legged and miss, add a different amount of instability
• when DFA'ing, add some additional instability on a miss
• when DFA'ing and attacker is legged (WHHHHHY would you choose this), even more instability
• get knocked down if you enough instability, even if not unsteady before the attack
• piloting skill can mitigate these additional instability points
• DFA leg damage and instability damage can be mitigated by piloting level
