Hello !

Amazing work here, I often use this topic to make my choice with mech ^^

But today I come and see all pictures are missing

Can someone say that to the OP if you know him ? Maybe he want to fix it ^^

Anyway, thx for this great work !

Seems that Imgur is having capacity issues, and is "doing maintenance". Give it a day or so. The powerpoint should still work.

They're back up.

[Norgath]

Awesome! thanks for putting this up. this will definitely help with my gameplay.

has the CPLT been updated with the hitbox change 4-6mo ago?

Yes. It has the most updated hitboxes, as the CPLT has had several updates over the last 6 months.

I am interested in how the rescaling will affect hitboxes. I've heard nothing about that.

What we're hoping for is tinier "ears", or at least making them modular like the other mechs.

I think the Dragon's going to benefit quite a bit from its shrink ray treatment.

Making those STs smaller, from the front, side, or a 45-degree angle in-between, can only benefit the poor beast.

[Beaching Betty]

Thanks!

[Joey Tankblaster]

Can you test the warhammer hitboxes?

[Gorgo7]

Joey, usually the hit box locations are not tested until the Mech is available for C-bills.

[Audacious Aubergine]

Although, if you own the mech then you can test it yourself in the academy - start in it then swap out for one of the trials

[Joey Tankblaster]

Ok - thx. Will do. I just thought the whole testing procedure is better done from one hand.

Thanks for this Tamerlin!

Appreciate this would add to all your hard work but it would be great to see the side profile for the humanoids to get a read on just how "shield" like the arms are.

I was looking at the Crab in profile and it made me realise how futile torso twisting really would be as the arms don't protect the ST/CT at all. Got me thinking of the other mechs to see to see how well the arms protect the body. Is this something you're thinking of looking at?

[Tamerlin]

Added the "IIC" mechs: Jenner-IIC, Hunchback-IIC, Orion-IIC and Highlander-IIC.

Not many changes from their IS versions, the for some mechs the geometry is different enought that I thought mapping was worth it. Note the "CT Pocket" on the Orion-IIC

Re- Colonel Clunge - No, I do not plan to go back and add side profile image for mechs just for the sake of showing how "shield-like" they can be. You can see that in the mech bay. I'm focusing on just the hit boxes, as the mech bay does not show that to us.

[Cyrilis]

What does the CT-pocket on the Orion do? Non-reg area?

edit:

OK, problem solved! was just puzzled because it was not marked as CT in the pictures

amazing work

Sorry for delay with the "Classic" mechs. My second computer died, and it's taken longer than I thought to get it set up for MWO. They should be out by next weekend.

Nice, very interested in the Marauder hitboxes, I can't figure out where to hit that damn thing to bring it down before it gets to like 9% armor, lol...

@Myj :Aim for legs... Aim for

@ Tamerlin : Really Nice work btw, but I think you forget to indicateurs the jenner IIC cockpit on frontview, Just in case ,)

Mech Rescale.

God. Damn. It.

I'm a big fan of the rescale, but I actually just realized I may need to re-hitbox map all the mechs.

I'll compare the classic mechs before and after, and then make a decison.
