Are Raven Legs Too Easy To Hit?

With the spider and Jenner, I get cored most of the time.. but I'd estimate that ~90% of the deaths I have with the Raven comes from being legged.
Completely observational and in no way backed up with hard evidence(as that sort of thing isn't tracked)..

just like how the cockpit of the catapult is too easy to target, it just feels like the legs of the raven is too easy to target. It is almost to the point that I can't join into a main battle in any capacity as a raven Pilot.

As someone said, Raven's are just legs. Half the mech is leg structure.

And that's because their side torsos actually absorb some damage while still being hard to aim at, compared to Jenner and Cicada which are giant CTs on legs, so they just get cored.

If they want Light mechs to be overall viable without the lag shield, they need to do something to increase the surviveability.. whether it is by reducing the size of the raven leg hit box or reducing the amount of damage done by missed LRM's on light mech legs.
Mobility is the key to the surviveability of the light mech and it just feels entirely too easy to deny light mechs that mobility compared to.. say, armor for the assault and heavy mechs.

They increased the size of the raven leg hitboxes to be larger than the model of the legs. This was back before HSR was implemented because raven legs never got touched before HSR. Then when they implemented HSR they never changed the raven leg hitboxes back to the size of the model. This means that raven legs are easier to hit than any other light mechs legs because you dont actually have to hit them to hit them.
They said they would fix this after HSR and they havent.
So, yes, ravens get legged more than other lights.
