Honestly the awesome still suffers from easy damage concentration due to its huge hitboxes. The arms hardly cover the mech as to prevent any damage even when twisting. The center torso being huge was fixed by giving it resistance. I think everyone knows the now the "too big" side torsos are an easy target.

The top side torso part in the Awesome already has arm going over it similar to the Cataphract. The sides are easy to hit not due to hitboxes, but due to the mech's size. There is nothing more to do apart from shrinking the model itself.

Actually your wrong there, that part counts as torso. That part needs to be fixed.

Agreed. The side torsos were always very big, but the hit-box adjustment a few months ago made them so big they take most of the damage now. Players just shoot the side torsos out and ignore the CT, or until they figure out you have an ST engine. So using a XL engine is impossible now, or at least at very high risk that other chassis don't face.

The Awesome is so wide the only area to add some of the side torso to is the arms.

Anyway, when I use an XL engine the CT ends up being only slightly yellow, but the mech is dead and this is with full lateral shifting movement, never standing still.

Testing XLs and STs results in a huge expense in CBills since the Awesome is at the tipping point where you can't run a 300ST and switch to a 300XL without also changing the internal structure from Endo to Standard in most cases due to 3 critical heatsink requirements. I have spent about 3 million C-Bills testing XL's vs ST's.
