What is wrong with this mech and its right torso!
Its is meant to be the god of the battle feild!
One look at its right torso and the AC20 (or whatever else you have there) just falls off!

This really sucks and destroys the whole fun and or use of taking an Atlas on the battle field.
More than any other mech I loose this RT weapon almost instantly every time, is it just me or a know issue?

I also have this problem and torso twisting doesn't fix it. Moe often than not my AC20 will fall off when the torso armour is merely orange.

This is a primary reason why I don't use atlases a lot. My misery can have the right torso blown off, the left red, and still be dealing death with the AC20 while I use it as a shield for the CT!

TLDR - Atlas can't take a beating, stalker can. Banshee even more so - can't remember when I last lost my BNC-3S AC20.. the atlas I lose it every time, and often after only initial engagement.

Glad someone brought this up. I've had the same problem except with my ECM since the day I bought the Atlas. If you take 1-2 hits on your torso it can routinely strip weaponry and/or equipment even though the torso has not been destroyed or even cored.

Yep for sure. Same reason I don't use any of my Atlases either....

Atlas should be god... its not, said this along time ago. Firepower is fine it just needs to be tankier, almost to the point of double the armour.

Iv noitce this problem for years involeing the Atlas,Hunchback any mech with a auto cannnon monuted on the torse almost like ever shot seem to go strait to the right torse...Probley doesnt just ever one shots that torse to get rid of the AC20 LOL

Wow great reponse guys! Thx
So it not my imagination. It really is an issue with the 100 ton TANK that it should be!
If you are listening PGI for the love of Atlas buff the hell outta the armour on his right torso, without it he isnt who he meant to be!

Move most of the ST armor up front, 72 pts about.
Torso twist away as soon as you hit the fire button. Looking at whether the AC20 round hit the target does not help it not miss.
Don't be the first guy to push in a solo match. Let the lights/meds distract, then - surprise, here's an Atlas in your face.
Twist both directions, letting your arms and CT take hits.

The AC 20 is huge, meaning it's easy to crit (even though it's the most tankiest equipment on a mech health wise, however how often it gets hit makes it very hard to keep alive, even the Gauss rifle rivals it)

yea. there should be more quirks for the armour for the atlas, Kinda want to make the atlas feel like the tankiest IS mech. It is the mech with highest armour (stock) so far in game.
