Does it have them? Seems everything goes straight to the ct.
Anybody else with same experience?

[grendeldog]

With 106 points of armor on my front CT I have been CT cored every game that I have died in so far. I have yet to lose an arm even - one match I overdid it with MASC and my right leg was weak enough to take out, followed by my left. But besides that match I have yet to lose any body-part besides my CT getting cored from the front.

[RustyBolts]

Same here. It is like the DireWolf/Hellbringer issues when they came out. CT all the way.

[KingIronwolf]

I turned toward the wall and still got CT cored in the Executioner.

Like, I'm not the sort of dude who gets dual gauss headshot and starts raving about aim-botting cheats and and gauss OP plz nurf etc... but this mech is so much CT that even I am tempted to think there's some sort of mistake. I had to stop playing the EXE because I couldn't fight effectively. I do look forward to playing it some more when I have the time to get the efficiencies up - maybe that's the issue - but at the moment I have hit my limit for getting cored without frustration.

Wow, guess it is a good thing I did not get in a match with my EXEs. I expected a big CT like the old Awesome days but two topics on the same thing.

[Afuldan McKronik]

I expected to hit less CT and more ST + Arms when I shot at any in the matches I played tonight. I.E. not new players, I could see them twisting to walls. Still coring them. Are the arms just not effective at shielding, and/or CT hitbox that large? Although, made me feel the same as seeing a Mr. Gargles when I was coming the other way in my AS7-D-DC.

[ASHTAR0N]

Im experiencing the same thing on both mechs, escpecially the Executioner. Even with torso twisting most of the Damage goes to the center torso.

I can save you some time, I tested out the hitboxes during my stream tonight. Here's the video:

Thank you for that Video, that makes it really clear that the front center torso is way to big and needs some adjustments.

Got a second video (for some views from the side), it's still processing, but it will be here:




Ignore the derp at the start. I'm sleepy

[Wildstreak]

Oh good, I bought the Clan equivalent of an Awesome in hitbox terms, front is before the Awesome hitbox change, rear is after.

[Summon3r]

i have spectated a few EXE's and lol'd at the ST dmg flash but all the dmg basically imploding the CT.

Guys quick work must be made of the ridiculous large CT of the Excecutioner.

Just found out its EXTREMLY vurnable to LRM, SRM and streak fire. my mad dog took one out in 2 volleys of 6 S-SRM6

i did more and more testing and my god it is vurnable

[Twilight Fenrir]

Thanks for the videos Durandal! Very helpful!

[dragnier1]

Looks like i can strip some arm armour for the torsos...CT...

[Zoan]

I messed around with this earlier. Even while torso twisting, there was almost no danger to the side torsos until after I pulled off about 35 points of their armor. This left me with only 37 points of front torso armor. That is around the range that most mediums tend to have. Only did 1 match at this armor level, but I could probably get away with lower still. Pretty poor positioning and such on my part in the match lead to torso hp problems. Seriously, the Executioner needs some pretty heft torso hit box changes.

Video of the 37 point side torso armor game.

[Trooper Chunks]

i get cored like it ain't no thang. hopeful for a patch

[Durandal]

Just an update folks, Russ did announce a hotfix for tomorrow that will address this (as well as some other things), so these videos will likely be outdated very soon I'll try to get some new ones recorded soon to show the new boxes.

[Vapor NINE]

Is really cool and much appreciated.
