Happend 1-2 Times now, seen front facing ppc/gauss flying at me, they destroyed my side Torso-rear(Front armor still ok). during another match, a Jagermech hit into his front, got his Backarmor stripped off.

I had the opposite experience. In two games my frontal side torso armor was down so i turned my back to the attacker to catch some shots.
But the next shot which came clearly from behind killed my side torso and my XL said Boom. Back armor was still intact when this happened.

Sure there may lots of other factors, but i never had this feeling that something was wrong before the patch.
So i guess this issue is worth some investigation.

This has been a bug since closed beta, and they keep trying to fix it but never do. It's probably never going to get fixed, and yes, it is still happening.

In my case it happened on a CTF-3D

Same thing in TBT-7K - I got killed by a Jenner shooting my back, while the front armor was gone.

This also occurs when using my JR7-D Founders variant - I will be running (albeit not in a straight line) away from a target for several seconds, hence not exactly enough time for State Rewind damage delay and any missile/laser damage taken gets spread between all of the front armor sections corresponding to the rear ones, as well as rear armor. It is not limited to side torsos as it does happen to front CT armor as well, however it appears to happen with Left and Left-Center hit combinations more often than Right or Right-Center ones. I've also noticed a marked increase in Torso damage both giving and receiving being dealt to Legs instead of the appropriate Torso Section/Arms.

Just had a game .. Where is was shooting DCed Atlas in the back CT with 4 MLs on my C1 Founders and most of the damage was hitting its front CT.

AS7-D, same story. Back was unscratched, CT front armor gone. Turned my back to the enemy to survive and died about four seconds later due to destroyed CT with back armor untouched.

The same bug exists in Battlefield 3. Move your tank fast enough, shoot into the front, hit the back (reactive armor).

And before I forget: TBT-5N And a few more, but I can't remember

Had this happening on my Heavy Metal. Hits to the side were missing my arm entirely and counting against both Front and Rear armor on my left/right torso's depending on side the shot came from. I also had front shots to my left torso destroy my front armor in 1 hit despite being set to 60 and having no prior hits. It seemes as though it applied the rear armor value from the hit to the front side of the torso side that it hit.

Getting one shot through the left and right torso's on several maps in an assault with 60 armor on the section took me by suprise.

I had this happen to me on the new map last night using my CPLT-K2, took a grand total of 3 hits or so and was cored through the CT as all the damage went to the rear even though the enemy was straight in-front of me.
