Missile ricochets off of Strider, has anyone seen this happen?

Recommended Posts

So last night during my clan's Saturday mission (www.dog-company.com), one squad had to take out some technicals. So one of the ATs takes aim and shoots his rockets at strider, but it ricochets off the damn thing and flies off toward another direction. He goes and shoots at it again and rocket ricochets of the Strider but this time flies up into the airs, flies back down (almost like a flare would) and nearly misses friendly forces as it explodes. Is this normal? I have NEVER seen this happen before in this game and I have been playing since Alpha. Here is video proof of what happened: http://www.twitch.tv/derisotre/c/3689208

The aimpoint for the Strider is slightly above its roof. Tanks regularily miss it too... what may have happened is that the missiles tried to hit the aimpoint above the roof, flew overhead instead of striking the RCWS, and then tried to turn around to hit the target again. I've not observed this particular behaviour before, but it doesn't surprise me.

This was happening to me against a Marshall the other night. I was using a Titan, and the missile seemed to veer off as if deflected by some sort of protection system. Like trying to hit a dropship with an RPG in Half-Life 2. I figured it was something the mission maker had done, but now I'm not sure. Some testing is in order.
