My corpmates seem to be getting headcapped at an increased rate. They seem to think that LRMs are a major culprit, tighter spread focusing near the head. I have no real data beyond anecdote, so I'm just seeing if others are having this experience.

[SpiralRazor]

No, and no again.

[Squigles]

Could very well be, that's been the banter on the corp TS tonight as well. Reports of Stalkers and Atlases getting headcapped by LRM rain.

I've actually noticed this a couple times too. Took a barrage of LRM fire and my head was red. In a Cataphract.

Ive also had this issue, though I was in a catapult moslty and what CANT headshot those?

[Orcish Librarian]

I rolled in my Catapult most of the time since the patch went live and I got headshotted by lrm-15's at an alarming rate. I will play a few more games and see if I can get some data on that.

LRMs are pretty ridiculous.

you get in a bad position for a second and youa re screwed. because if you turn to walk away, it will kill you in 2-3 vollys


If LRMs already does AoE damage. whats the point of cluster rounds.

I've been killed by headshot more times in the couple of hours since the servers came up than I can recall in the last several months total.

I've been trying the Jager out, so I assumed something was borked in it's head hit box (not like it hasnt happened multiple times befor, lol), but now you mention it LRMs did figure in every time i died.

interesting

[kaffeangst]

I can confirm the LRM issue; two matches in a row head-shotted by LRM's while piloting a Stalker. In the previous hundreds of matches running that mech, no headshots. Hmmmm...

[Stygian Steel]

been getting headshotted in the jager since the patch, i keep thinking luke skywalkers turned off his targeting computer

[Commander Kobold]

Irun A-LRM 15s x2 and I've yet to see any significant head damage done to them, mostly CT..barely any hit the head at all.

[Child3k]

Jep - bought a Jager tonight. Played a couple of rounds - 15 or sth. - got cockpitted a lot. Twice while turning my back towards the incoming LRM fire ... seems off. Sth's not right.

When someone puts a cap in your head.

[kaffeangst]

That's four matches now, every time LRM's to head - the only significant damage taken. 80-90% health mech instantly killed by LRM's.

Always a good feeling when you instantly find people having the same issue when you come to check the forums. Hopefully this gets worked out soon!

Kind of the idea of the thread! I was surprised I couldn't find anything on it.

It's an even better feeling when someone actually checks instead of just making the 5th topic on the isssue!
