As you can see, that area (missile rack) on the Jenner D and K counts as front CT from all angles. Confirmed in game too.

Feel free to post about any awesome hit boxes like this in the thread.

Does anyone know if the Jagermechs spoiler/coms device counts as front CT from all angles?

I have noticed the jagers top wing when shot from behind counts as front ct.

I thought the missile rack has always been consider as part of the CT?
Same with the hunchback's should canon, it takes damage from every angle aim at it.

Did you just start playing the game or something?

The RT takes front damage even from rear shots? I'll check that out on training grounds and take a screenshot tomorrow to add to the thread.

Also thanks Barnaby about the Jager answer.

Been playing since January, but had an account since they first set up pilot name reservations.

Also if we're judging how long people have played the game based on knowledge of hit box problems like this, then PGI devs are very inexperienced players.

I guess for some the little things make all the difference.

But still... so many times I've clearly hit something clearly in the back and it had his front torsos flashing that I really don't even wanna think about it
Not to say to speak about it...

I've noticed some oddities with the jager hitboxes as well, I was trying to CT a yager but he turned so I took the shot against his right torso's "wing" from the side, trying to at least do some damage while I jockeyed for position to hit his CT. My shots hit his CT despite clearly landing on the outside of his right torso. My followup shots there also hit the CT until he exploded.

I chalked it up to lag but it made me wonder...

oh wait, didn't see the word "front" there.
Then again my RT hardly every gets blown from back armor lost.

I'm noticing hit reg on the front CT when shooting the rear with ballistic weapons on most mechs.

They spend more time making the game rather than playing it. So no.

And the Jenner has been in since closed beta like I don't understand how someone would be shocked by this.

It's like the people posting that it's a "glitch" that you can level up a mech from from elite to master by just having something in that weight class leveled. Very embarrassing.

If this were a true simulator, shooting the missle pod on the jenner would destroy the missle pod but do nothing to the CT. Even MW4 did that..... so many mechs in MW4 had destructable weapon slots that werent tied to a torso or arm.... cmon PGI.... lets raise the bar a little...... So many things in MW4 we were able to do and you havent done it yet.... Cant even destroy trees or 1 single building ffs.....

If you shoot the atlas in the crotch from behind it hits the front CT

Hopping into a training match real quick to check this.

Found this to not be true, but I did find something funny!

Ever had trouble hitting a Commandos CT? Well thankfully the back of the head counts as Front CT!

That is because it's true in a live game but not true in the Training Grounds.

Yes it is true, I have killed atlas's several time in the CT from the rear by hitting them in the crotch. Your just not hitting the right spot.

[ryoma]

Well okay then. Wish there was a way to test these in a real game.

So far the only one I've done in a real game is the Jenner Missile rack. Hopefully I can do the others. It's hard taking a screenshot of it happening though.
