I want to see the exact changes between the old raven hit boxs and the new hit boxes.

I drive a RVN-3L often. I have no issues with getting cored, or getting my side's ripped off.

The bigger issue is the netcode and ECM. ECM is over powered, and needs to get fixed. The netcode should be way up in priority.

The main issue is not the RVN class mech. The only thing that makes RVN's over powered is simply the ECM and netcode. Lagshield has been reduced. HSR works for Lasers, it just is needed for Autocannons.

Fixing the netcode, and what ECM does will take care of things.

Have the Radar be actual radar, ECM blocks that. LOS targets should work no matter what for YOUR mech.

Yeah... pretty much nobody agrees with your squidtv. RVN has been broken for a long time. I've unloaded 5x LL on a stationary RVN's backside in Testing Ground and not done internal damage.

Netcode is pretty good these days. There are more fixes in the pipeline - why not wait to see how they turn out before complaining about them?

I'm not responsible for your bad aim. I've been hit and have hit RVN's going full speed with 5LL's and cored it out. Rather then fix a symptom, why not fix the primary issues that has people complaining about RVN's. Just to help you understand the issue that is ECM.

How is it even possible to have bad aim on the training ground when you can clearly line up your shot? It's not. The hit detection mesh was broken - it is (or should) be now fixed. Get over it.

Sure in the past somebody got luck and cored you, but not because they were good but because they got lucky and the broken mesh worked against the RVN pilot. Now it'll be fixed and fair - stop whining.

[squidvt]

Gee.. if that's the case then how do I get cored at long range and short range by various weapons, and how do I hit them as well. Also your statement about the 5LL's does not hold any water. You have not given any type of information on distance, and mech you were using. So yea...

Now back to the point I was making in the first place. Before they go messing with hitboxes they should fix ECM, netcode and State Rewind.

Again, this doesn't appear to be a simple hitbox adjustment but an actual bug fix. Some bugs are easier to fix than others - are you really suggesting they fix no simple bugs because ECM hasn't been balanced yet?

Netcode and state rewind are interdependent, so no need to break them out separately and they are working on those. They've been doling out regular updates related to them, so to call them on it is unfair. ECM issue they've been silent about so I'm on your side when you said ECM is broken, because it is but it doesn't change the fact that the RVN hitboxes were also broken.

CTF-1X w/ 5x LL at about 200 meters, directly behind the Testing Grounds RVN. Not sure how that adds legitimization to my previous statement, but there's some additional info for you.
