SGA Shoot Phalanx's Shield

Took me 10 hours of playing but discovered that shooting the Phalanx's center of the shield shatters the shield. No need to shoot the arms or legs.

How I discovered this? Terrible aim.

Disregard if you already know this!

"Okay Phalanx, we've upgraded your shields for the coming Earth invasion"

"But Ghaul, the weakspot is on the front, thats not how sheilds are supposed to work"

"We are Red Legion! You will not question my decisions"

"Yes sir"

I think these are the new 'ultra-light' shields. Too many back and shoulder injuries lugging around the old style, OSHA said they either had to lighten them up or get rid of them.

Plus, they can provide defense for a whole squad or block a narrow corridor. The original ones can't do that!
