So we tested out the Catapult hitbox and it is truly not correct.

We fired shots into the guns on the left and right torso of the K-2 and did exclusive damage to center torso. We fired at it from the side and so long as we hit above the guns, center torso damage.

Seems really unfair to catapult players to make their center torso the size of basically the entire mech.

Not to point out the obvious... but the bulk of the Pult "is" the center torso.

I appreciate your premise but that said, manipulation of hitboxes to mitigate inherent geometry deficits is a slippery slope IMHO...

It's a big honking target... period. One where the bulk of the center of mass is the center torso. Only so much can be done to mitigate this before the hitboxes grossly misrepresent the actual geometry....
