make that 4 games in a row.... SRMS feel weak as hell now!

There are some serious CT issues going on. I switched to my Hawk 5m, got hit once by a 2ac20 jager, lost all of my CT armor. Im running full armor on my Hawk.

This is getting pathetic. 6th game in a row getting cored. In my Hawk, twisted to right to have a LRM volley hit my shield arm....Only my CT was damaged. Went down to 75% hp left....

I was killed even though twisted to the right, my left arm armor displayed in yellow, Jager hit me with prob ac10s or 20s.. Death recap said my CT was destroyed...

The Centurion was hit with a hit box change a while back, when they were starting to change the mechs to have the "thong". (I don't think they finished all the old mechs, have they?) Since then, Ceturions seemed to have a larger CT, making them become almost always CT killed, at least for me. I still lose an arm from time to time, but at least since the last patch (and when they had the Centurion Challenge) I've been getting a lot of CT deaths in my Centurions.

Do not know if this information is helpful to you, but I think they shrank the shoulder and side torso hit boxes on the old centurion with that hit box change. I wasn't a large cent pilot, but I did play one for a short while before and after that patch. Before, always loose a side torso(s) first. Not, I almost always lose my CT with sides still intact.

(SRMs still have some issues last I recall. I don't think they did the SRM hit effects server side yet? Or was that last patch? Haven't used SRMs in a long time personally.)

This is probably HSR. When the server calculated when the volley hit you, you hadn't turned yet. On your screen though, you had turned to redirect damage, but the system didn't catch up. Either you have a higher ping, or the person shooting you did, causing HSR to take a little time delay effect. Happens to me all the time...

One of ours ran his cent last night, an outstanding player- k to d ratio hovers around 2.5
he noticed something wonked with the cent AND SRM's

OP shuffle your armor "loading" around.

I only have 2 mechs(not counting my stripped 9s) and all I typically play is the Cent. I knew about the hitbox changes months ago but never experience anything like last night. How could a volley miss the left ST on my 5m hawk when its the biggest area to hit?

you mean strip my armor and put it back on? I swear it felt like I had zero CT armor. What "wonked" thing did he notice? I felt like my SRM's werent doing any damage.

My Griffin (with XL) and Centurions (with STD) are still doing fine on my side (120-140 ping).

And about SRM's, I find them quite deadly now, doing 800++ damage games with a couple of mediums and triple SRM6's and had no issues with hit reg during 6 hour playing time. Other players from my unit are reporting the same experiences in our own forums.

Ever since the Centurion got a hitbox pass, its CT is much easier to hit now. Centurions can no longer tank ridiculous amounts of damage. With their only redeeming quality lost, there's no point in taking them out compared to 55 tonners.

My ping is normally around 70ms or lower.

Like I said, I have been playing nothing but my Cent and Hawk for months now. Last night, one LRM put me into red. I will strip both mechs and put armor back on. The game is acting like I have zero armor in my CT.
