This thing is massive... Half the nose of a dragon but the gravity it has is about 10 times the amount. Every death has been CT so far...

What about you guys?
Findings? Am I crazy? Call me maybe.

Yeah i can be turned in any direction and pretty much every hit hits the ct. the thing is all legs or ct, don't think i have ever been shot in an arm. Would be nice if not every time they release a new mech the same, ct hitbox issue doesn't arise again and again.

[Alistair Winter]

Yeah, all my deaths have been by CT.

[Elizander]

Been getting CT hits from the side from targets 1,000m away. Got confused as to where I was being shot from.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No... It's my CT!

[Vapor NINE]

Nice to see its not just me, was wondering if it had st's at all. lol

[Ultimax]

OK not just me then.

Even when torso twisting, I'm just constantly taking huge amounts of damage direct to CT.

[KharnZor]

Seems like a walking CT to me atm

[Reaper One Nine]

Haven't played it yet but I did notice it runs pretty low armor, in my opinion in the CT on the stock builds. Started to rebuild it but then I thought I would run a match first.... pretty sure you all looked at that already, but just throwing it out there.

[SaltBeef]

Only a few point lower than a timber CT so it should not die so quick they are on top of it from Russ Tweets.

Yeah, they're very low. The first thing I do is max armor everything, unless I'm running a special build or I can get away less armor in places.
One hellbringer only had 28 side armor lol... 28! FOR A HEAVY. I slammed down so hard on that Up arrow with my finger may have poked Asia.

All armor is full.

And I just got CT cored from the back with my back armor untouched.

It's an ECM mech and a Clan mech. It is now a priority over TBR's.

Yeah this is how I feel. My Timby CTs run 76 armor. My Hellbringer runs 70. Both have nose that protrude but there is no comparison on the hitboxes.

Yeah had this happen to me once already.

It is definitely a damage sink and not ALL due to bad hit boxes. It's the newest shiny so that has players keying on you more. And it has ecm... So again youre a priority target.

I was taking severe damage to CT first couple drops. Had to start playing a little more reserved and will keep it up till the fix.

Yeah I have began to just play it much like I would a severely damaged mech and am doing better with it.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Lol, **** like this is why the PTS needs to be used far more often. There needs to be a week of PTS for each new release....then stuff like this gets sorted out before people start getting their stats and stuff affected....

I agree. I used to be massively into WoTs and can't count the hours I spent on the Public Test so I could offer feedback and help fix stuff prior to it being released in game. I mean it only took about 10 matches for me to notice there was something wrong with the Hellbringer's CT and I suspect most people who are playing them saw this as well and saw it very quickly. If they would have run a test, we could have resolved this before it went live.

[Brody319]

Its making my Misery's job easier, not that they are that big of a threat to it to begin with. nothing like shooting them in the back when they turn to run, and getting their front torso blown off.

You wanna talk about really ****** up CT hitboxes, look at the Victor. It's front CT actually intentionally wraps around to the back.

[NovaFury]

It's unreal how many times I've been 90 degrees to a target and gotten hit in the CT. Aren't my arms in the way, or failing that, my side torsos?

Nope. Even at 900m, CT every time.
