Any other people who pilot Novas have issues with the legs getting shot off like its made of butter?

I have maxed out its armor but the people who aim for me always hit my legs on that mech. I mean all my weapons are in my arms why not go for that??

Is there a leg fetish with shooting at Novas?

Pretty much every single Clan mech is experiencing this. Seven out of eight of them have chicken legs, which are ultra-leggable by nature. The Thor, the only humanoid, has long legs like the Griffin and Shad, so it also gets legged like crazy.

I have full armor on my Summoner but even so there is not once match where i do not get legged

That may be true,

My experience so far with the clan mechs having mastered Timberwolf and the Stormcrow. Played some Kitfox. The Nova is by far the worst with regards to the legs getting taken out.

There maybe a hit-box problem with hits aimed center and side torsos hitting the legs because it has a massive hip/upper leg actuator?

There's often a high damage concentration on any fast mech (over 100ish kph), and jumpers tend to take a lot of leg damage too (especially if they jump while under fire).

Wait till the new fall dmg comes in. From what I seen on the PTS feedback it will be effecting all of us including the non jumpers from even traversing rough terrain.

More Shitcrockery from PGI to fix jump sniping. I don't see the problem with jump sniping, but if you are going to nerf it don't hit everyone. Find a better way. How many times do we have to tell them this?

I have a feeling that this is all part of the balancing. Overall, I die a lot faster in the clan mechs, no matter what the body part. It is a way for them to be balanced.

So far i lost 2 Timberwolf und 1 nova leg. I dont think there is a general problem with "clan legs". Clan mechs are different in some aspects and we all have to learn how to use them properly. Btw after my Nova lost its leg it killed a cataphract in a head to head fight and after that a battered Timberwolf. There was not much left of my Nova (37%) at the end of the game but it still had its uac5, 1 mg and 3 ersl. Not to bad i think.
