Any other Orion users experiencing similar issue?

The PC crapped out during the last roundup, but this thing can eat wounded stragglers!

Are you getting cored by the usual suspect of LRMs, or is it pure "small arms" fire?

If you so much as look at this mech, the CT takes a hit.

"Small arms" fire, LRMs is not really too big of an issue if you don't run around in the open too much.

Also it wrecks medium mechs as well as does well against other heavies, just make sure you're not the first one to run in. Lights don't brawl, but eh, my current build does pretty well against those as well.
Really enjoying playing my orion since I swapped to the XL360 engine. Scoring anything from 350 to 800+ in dmg per game now.
One thing I've noticed, which may just be my imagination, but ELO seems to work better or something, getting alot of matches that are really close instead of one sided curbstomping more than half the time

Don't know if it is kintaro size or not, but because I ran my protector as a brawler, I die much faster than the kintaro. Basing on the battletech history, the Orion was supposed to be a classic front line mech. But this fatal CT flaw pretty much took it out of the front line roll

Orion might be small, but it is the same size as the kintaro. But with a much wider torso. As to the other mechs, I can't say anything other than the Atlas. I ran 3 versions of the Atlas (DDS, D, RS). and in the 120+ matches with them, I am confident to say that 95% of the time when my Atlases are destroyed, at least one of the side torsos are gone if not both as well as one or both of the arms are gone too before the center torso goes. So regarding your Atlas has a bigger center torso area, I disagree when compare to the rest of the hit locations on the upper body.
And no, I am not skilled enough to do the defensive torso twisting. I have always faced my targets head on

However, I did notice when taking hits to the 6 o'clock, I was taking front CT damage instead of rear. Though, I think that may be more related to HSR's interaction with my client's latency.
