The Battletech game is a very good port, it's just about faithful, but with one important rule addition, and that getting shot at removes a point against the to-hit penalty. It makes mechs being able to be hit if there's enough concentrated fire on it (which makes sense, if you think about it), and lessens the dragginess of the table-top game (3025 L1 games especially so).
Yea that is a crucial rule in the game for sure, my general strategy in the early game is to pepper with light mechs and then come in with the heavier payloads. So it makes you think about positioning a lot more on both defense and offense.
