I can understand the problem, that's why I proposed the little rule
add-on.
It doesn't leave any room to "creative interpretation".

No, of course not. I was not aiming for exact rule wording in my
message, but basically the idea is: resolve all hits normally against
non-titan units, then use the scatter procedure ONLY for determining
whether the titan was hit or not. Basically, the template points to the
"landing position" of the barrage, and non-titan units under it have
been obviously hit; the scatter roll tells you if the titan was REALLY
there too, or if it was just the holofield image.
