When I saw the Protector I was elated, I purchased MC and the mech. My elation has now become utter regret as any single mech can take out 81 points of CENTER TORSO ARMOR, not rear but center, to nothing and destroy my mech. Without fail, this has been quite repeated-able. I've been pretty vocal about it because I do not understand how QA MISSED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I like the mech's look, its hard point selection and layout, maybe not its hero mech paint scheme but the center torso melting as it does.... it needs serious review.

My current expectations, having bought the Phoenix and Sabre packages, is that those will be treated in the same lack luster QA as your last two releases.

Hopefully others get vocal about this mech, it's unacceptable.

have to say i originally thought it was ok with the problem of still being shot in the back and it transfering to the front but the more i play it has some serious survivability with the CT still being stripped way to quickly.

For instance the last match after 2 shots from a enemy cataphract had reduced my ct to orange i decided to just protrude my RT to fire my ac and right arm, fire hit my RT but damage still transfered to ct and i then lost all armour.

Pity really as this was looking to be a good mech otherwise.

Once they release the cbill Orions people will be pretty sad :/

I have given it the ol' college try, and I reluctantly must agree that the CT hitboxes are a problem, and do in fact render the 'mech impractical to use. Will look forward to the revised version, but for now it's going to sit in the 'mech bay.
