headshotted from behind in my stalker by LRMS... yeah they should look into the hitboxes

[ove bababoke]

I thought that`s Jagegr`s hitbox problem. Looks like it`s common problem, and I confirm one.

[SmokinDave73]

Its a rough day when the GOON's even agree that the devs broke the game this patch. So ******* sad.... LAst pic is screenshot just before I had my head reomved in my Atlas which I have never had hit or damaged since closed beta, PLUS I have never got a headshot on an Atlas in my life aswell.

As a possible constructive input. I have been running a jagermech, and have been taken out this way a lot. Seems like cockpits hits on ( the jager ) are very high.

Yep, this happened too. Headshot from behind.

The issue is that missiles (All missiles, LRM, SRM, and SSRM) are supposed to only do 25% damage to heads. However, right now, they're doing 50% damage to heads. And since missile splash is so outrageously broken at present (LRMs do damage in an EIGHT METER BUBBLE, SRMs are SEVEN meters), getting hit with a missile anywhere but on the very foot of your mech will damage EVERY component, including your head.

At present, it takes exactly 27 SRMs to kill a head, or about 45 LRMs. It doesn't matter how small your head hitbox is, it's just utterly silly out there right now.

Confirmed, same sad story here, got few headshots from just one LRM/SRM salvo today + few headshots in 2-3 missiles hits.

PGI, do you read? Game is broken after recent path. We need hotfix ASAP.

[Cest7]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is hotfix worthy. Give them a day or two to narrow it down

What makes me sad about this is that we all know it's broke and what do people do? Last few games I have play it was sitting behind a rock or somthing with both teams running around with SRM, SSRM, and LRM! Sure I had 2 SRM 4s at the time, but nothing to the number of boats that are going around.

Never overestimate people. You will always be disappointed.

I can confirm that PPC's are also doing strange things.

Why do you have ammo in your head? That spells trouble as well. So even if you lived from the shot your ammo got cooked and boom you dead.

Came here to post this - he was hit by 2 or 3 ERPPCs in the head, which critted the ammo in his head, which blew up and destroyed him. If you run with ammo in your head, you're taking this risk. Nothing unusual about that.

[Clownwarlord]

OK lets look at the factors.

- Missile Splash
- Heads are on the top of mechs and missiles come down on top of them ...
- Heads are where cockpits are
- Heads people store ammo

Everything is true lrms should hit you in the head if it is a rainbow arc. As for people storing ammo in their heads is just wrong ... and lastly splash will be getting fixed, but when? 2 weeks or is it hot patch?

Now as for everything else hitting you in the head that is just a good mech pilot who is aiming for your cockpit/head.

Then what about SRMs and Streaks? Well that is tag systems on your head or it is splash and they are going to get rid of splash. So hold on no need to go off the deep-end. they know the issue and will fix it I hope though not for 2 weeks (lrm boat for the cash)

[TerebNeerg]

It seems like the splash radius on missiles increased.

[John MatriX82]

I guess nobody has cited Streak SRMs.. they do heaps of damage to the head as well since the last patch and I've been headshotted a couple of times by them. All missiles seems to do the same, FIX!

[Schrottfrosch]

I used to play MWO but then I took an SRM to the knee which destroyed my head...

[Frank the Tank]

I lost my right arm and my left leg to the same LRM volley and both were near full armor. It was at least 2 LRM15s and I turned my right side toward them to absorb the damage so my left leg would have been on the exact opposite side of the LRMs. Granted i may have lost the leg to an ammo explosion, still it was at full armor and complete turned away from the missiles.

I though splash damage was being turned off for this patch?
