While testing my weapon loadout I came upon some strangeness in cataphract cabin hitbox:

From 20m range, 2ML

1. Aiming at cabin

Spoiler

2. After taking a shot

Spoiler

3. Aiming and shooting at another part of the cabin

Spoiler

4. Damage afterwards

Spoiler

5. Aiming dead center

Spoiler

6. At last!

Spoiler

7. Maybe I'm too short to properly hit the cabin? Let's come closer...(several shots were fired)

Sooo, isn't cabin hitbox supposed to be a bit larger than that?

You might be a bit too close, due to parallax, it will be hard for weapons to pin-point their damage to the exact location your aiming.

Try getting further back a bit and try again.

But, yes, the head hitbox should be kinda small, because if it is even remotely easy to hit, then everyone just aims for the head (due to pin-point accuracy of weapons).

IMO, headshots are really annoying in this game, both to receive, and to hand out. Plus, phracts have monster torsos anyway, and require huge engines to get any kind of actual mobility in the chassis. The fact you cant headshot them at will is like the one thing they have going for them over catapults and jagers.

This is a non issue.

We had a larger head when the Phracts came out, due to the fact that their head is at the dead center of the torso they died in a shot or two against a proper sniper or brawler. It was worse than the current Catapult head, no need to bring back those times.

Plus as it was already mentioned you were too close in your test.

Its like a couple pixel's wide and tall. Seriously the cataphract cockpit is silly small. About as hard to hit as the atlas one.

The first day it came out I was headshotting CTFs by *accident* at hundreds of meters. It was ridiculous.

Yup CTF were dying like flies before its cockpit hitbox was tweaked.
