[Armored Yokai]

just a suggestion
give them a big hitbox in each arm and treat it like the hunchbacks right torso since ac20s are huge
it would likely balance things with low armored arms and 40 rushs
since the only way to take them out is aiming for the torsos which take a long time to destroy
---------------------------------------------
taking out the ac20 jager takes alot of work since a majority just rush and spam
and they armor their arms to 10-20 which are really tricky to hit
due to their small hitboxes... but increasing the size of them will make it easier to deal with x2 ac20s
since either lrms or snipers will have a increased chance of taking them off to save a few mechs from
spam
---------------------------------
this should only be for every ac20 upgrade
since ac5s and ac2s follow their right size
----------------------------------
here are a couple mechs with ac20s that appear to have big hitboxes

Biased Poll. Might want to reword it. Some mods take this stuff seriously.

Biased indeed. Can't vote.

Also, the OP is wrong about "they armor their arms to 10-20 which are really tricky to hit". I run UAC/5 (not AC/20) jager, though, but i doubt my arms are any much easier to hit, - and yet i still get an arm destroyed sometimes, despite having full 40 armor on both arms. This depends on whether Jager's pilot turns sideways to avoid enemy fire, of course, and also involves some bad luck. The point is, though, that me personally, i'd never have arms as low as 20 armor (except on very special "just for fun" minute-use builds like 4xUAC/5). Dual AC/20 build does not have so huge tonnage issues to leave its arms not fully armored.

Pro Tip: Aim for the torso. They die faster.

Öhm the Bombard...thats Thunderbolt 20s if i remember it right.
And i don't waste any shots on the armos of a JaegerMech - bigger arms = shield arms.
Same as for the Splashcat long long time ago. Aim for the ears? Really - I always tried for the head.

And as other said - its a biased poll -
Really it is that bad to - ask - yes, no without personal style?
