Why would you want such exaggerated side torsos? I don't pilot a jenner, but I was under the assumption that most people ran XLs, and a change like that would probably be more of a death sentence than an improvement.

Bigger torso is price for possibility. Possibillity of damage-spread. Now jenner's pilots are not able to do this - they are loosing ONLY CT armor. Yeah, thay may got unlucky shot to rear-torso, but it's so rare.

Aside from that I have a large beef with the fact that a large portion of the Jenners rear profile (not top, rear from equal height) is counted as CT.

Actually, just get rid of the rear CT hitbox. Think about it, we could just dump all of there armour on the front CT and not have to worry about damage spread. Alternately, the armour allocations could be proportional to the hitbox size so we can allocate more armour to the CT compared to the the side torsos. I have played many many many matches in Jenners and death by side torso is extremely rare. It has only happened to me a handful of times. ~1-2% of matches

I don't know if I would complain about the CT taking up more space on a Jenner.. tis where you have the most armor.. STs still are vital due to XL engines but have a lot less armor.

It would be nice if a portion of the front ct was not on the rear of the mech...

Are the issues described still a problem?

[DemonRaziel]

Nothing has changed about Jenner hitboxes AFAIK - these 'Mechs are still CTs on legs.

Do the Jenner-D missile rack still counts as CT from the rear?

GG PGI GG.

The best part is that a few ask the devs ago they said "oh, we didn't realize that's a problem. Fix incoming." 3ish months later and it's still a problem :/

Of course the Jenner has awful hitboxes. The CT takes up most of the surface area of the entire mech. Anyone who thinks the Jenner doesn't have **** hitboxes likes the way things are where if you hit a Jenner you probably killed it CT.

Never gonna be fixed.
