It looked like you'd answered your own question in the earlier post -
any mixture of component, statistic, or platform damage will do.  It
all depends on which type of damage the attacker thinks is most effective
or most appropriate to the type of attack he's making.  If the attacker
is trying to disable a specific hinge-connection or is targeting a
specific chink in the armor, then component damage is the way to go.  For
non-targeted damage, like getting caught in the blast radius of an
explosion, then either of the general damage tables is more appropriate.

So, the attacker gets to choose which type they want to use?


It's more the difference between the attacker saying "I attack your mech" and "I
attack the inner joint of your mech's left elbow."  If he attacks a specific
part, then he can use component damage.  If he attacks the mech in general, then
he uses general damage.

Like everything else in BrikWars, it's open to negotiation if the defender
thinks that the attacker's choice of damage doesn't make sense for the attack
he's making.
