one shottable by LRMs, they go directly to head and you die in 1 salvo

... from the rear....

1) head hit box is wayyyyy to big
2) it's role is a support mech. Increase base module size from 2 to 3.

Edit: 3) side torsos are way to large...

Lrms and srms one shot this thing front loaded with max armor...

It also turns like a truck. Seriously its not an Assault mech. Would be nice if they adjust this.

Which Jager you using? It may be they only screwed this pooch on one or two of the variants.

What engine are you using? To my knowledge this is usually just a property of the engine.

[Ashvins]

As others have already said Head hit box is to big and LRM's seem to hit it easily. Otherwise i'm enjoying the mech so far. One other thing is the JM6-S is not showing in Stats. Most likely the same for the others as well but I haven't purchased them yet I can't say for sure.

I'm registering head damage wild been hit in the back by medium laser

The scaling with engine size is non existent. Ratings 250, 260 and 280 all have same turn speeds.

The mech should have a faster torso twist by default since it's designed as a defensive AA mech.

This happened to me too, got head damage from behind from LRMs.

[FerretGR]

On the upside, I've had some spectacularly good games in mine. XL300, 4xSRM6, 2LL, 16 DHS. Broke 1000 damage for the first time in a long time, maybe ever? Crazy.

LRM's oneshot it no matter where they hit... had a LRM volley hit the arm of my mech and it headcapped me.

[Dexion]

Same thoughts here... So far so good, until you encounter any type of missile.. SRM or LRM. Then splash damage destroys your head. Actually, seems like everything destroys your head.

Good luck grinding this *********** - each new Mech release only adds to the disappointment. After 20 matches with millions of CBills in loadouts and nothing to show for it quickly gets you to the realization you've screwed up.

[Skadi]

All the LRM boats are realizing shooting In the general direction of the jagermech will obliterate its head... just had 4 matches in a row where 6 of the 8 enemy mechs were lrm boats prioritizing the jagers.

[DeathofSelf]

Yeah, I think the head hit box might be a little big considering I just got killed from a head shot, from behind.

[Aggressor666]

only been headshot once in my JM6-S and I was "wtf where did that come from"
otherwise it tears mechs apart its truly brutal (till it runs outta ammo)

[William Chase Davion]

I bought JM6-A. Head hit box, and side torso hit boxxes seem big. It also turns really slowly with the stock engine.




Edited for variant type. I had the S and A confused.

I'm not having problems. I have the basics done already on my first JM6.
