I know this has been addressed but something is still off. Just my last match, I was trying to retreat from the enemy and was a yellow front torso armor. Well I turned to make a hasty retreat and one of my own team blocked me out so I started taking concentrated fire to the rear from multiple enemies. Well I finally managed to get by this yo yo blocking me in and I look at my armor. Rear----Orange or Yellow but there was still armor. Front CT however was totally gone to and internals were orange.

I was completely turned away from any enemy fire, in fact most of my CT was touching my teammates CT as I tried to strongly indicate my desire he back the hell up so I could get by (basically standing in his face pushing the forward button for all it was worth) so there is zero way I could have taken CT damage and not noticed it yet my CT was completely good and internals orange from taking fire from the rear.

Something still isn't right. I mean I know it was explained there is an area on the left shoulder that can count as Front CT and some small areas in the groin but those areas are really small so at the most only a very small amount of damage should leak though and definitely not enough to burn though like 40-50 points of front CT armor plus 75% of my CT internals with a breech in my rear armor anyway.

Like all mechs, QQ to a light pilot! You can remove armor from the front and put it on the back. Just like you can on all mechs.

I hate to say this.. the hitboxes are fine.

If for any reason you are brawling with a Hellbringer, you're doing it wrong.

I still have 1 pt of back CT armor, since the CT is a juicy target. There's very little reason to spend much facetime with your targets unless it's late endgame scenarios.... which should allow you to focus ranging stuff before they get into ECM range.

Its the R shoulder attachment.

I've cored a hellbringer by aiming specifically at it since i couldnt hit his CT

PPL who know about that bug will use it to their advantage. you can even hit a hellbringer's front CT from behind it since the little shoulder attachement is a CT hitbox all the way around its sides

Compared to before, the little left shoulder box is very manageable. I don't know if it that bit of CT hitbox was intended, but I'm still living a lot longer. The hunchback has something similar, but that's for the big AC side torso.

I can't really think of what it's supposed to be, the ECM box? But the ecm is part of the left torso, and is only on the Prime side left torso omnipod. Is it where the spotlight is located in the tabletop version?

I am taking way too much damage just from the right shoulder attachment. Happened again last match. Ran into a Dire and he got me down to orange front CT before I could turn away. Then he proceeded to light me up from the back which proceeded to take out my remaining Front CT armor and take me down to red internals. I looked after I got into cover and my entire rear armor was still intact after taking this beating. Sure it was yellow/orange but there were zero breeches. This means I literally took 50+ damage to my front CT in like 6 seconds from the rear and people are going to try to tell me it is all coming from that little box on the left shoulder?

Damn that Dire Wolf must have been an amazing pilot. He must have been able to take perfect aim at that box from 300m away and light me up. Ballsy too, him chosing to neglecting going for that sweet spot in the center of the back with only 14 armor covering those juicy internals just so he could finish off my Front CT armor and go for the kill by shooting that tiny little box sitting on my left shoulder.

Yeah Frontally, the Hellbringer is fine but when you turn away from an enemy to present him fresh rear armor and your still getting you Front CT tore up, well that is still a pretty major issue.

That's very odd, it really shout be part of the LT that box....

The HBR still seems to be fairly easy to core in short range fights, but at longer-medium ranges it seems to do well enough.

If nothing else, that left shoulder box should actually be left torso hitbox instead of CT.

Unless the mechs is shutdown in front of you i can't see the that tiny box being a target for anyone.

Lurms hitting from overhead and/or arty strikes would/do probably hit it.


Either way, it makes no sense for that random little box to be CT. There is no good reason for it, none nada zilch.

Just make the Hellbringer more powerful?

You cannot imagine the glee I had just running the Godbringer pre-hitbox changes.
