The hitbox on the cockpit seems like its huge, im getting killed alot by headshot in this mech, alot more then usual at any range.
Cockpit is damaged after any fight at all, with the amount of cockpit damage im taking I would need like 30 armor there to stay alive.
So yeah, derps are getting headshots on EJ without even trying, making this mech questionalbe for tournament.

I've had my head damaged several times, but so far I have yet to die from a headshot as a Cauldron Born.

Yep. But after 2 days, I think I still prefer my Founder's Hunchback.

Good F'n lord... :rolleyes:

It's perfectly center-mass and sticks out like a sore thumb. I can't help but hit Jags square in the nose...

Add to that it's mounts "stare-down" weapons so Jag pilots tend to stand still longer than prudent.

Nature of the beast... nothing more.

No headshots for me. My EBJs all have died by CT destruction. Arms are very fragile too.

That's because you can barely hit a SCR and god only knows where the head is.

We all know that headshots are imposSible. If we got headshotted it must be a bug, bad hitboxes, or HAX.



common knowledge.

wasn't beheaded since... ages, no seriously. Even if I shut down because I missed the override key bad trigger discipline people won't headshot me. There's no mech with more than 12 Armor points in the head in my bays, not even my catapults.

I've found this more likely to happen than getting headshot.

You're lucky. I've taken more head damage in the EBJ than all my other mechs.

It's easy to headshot the jag because the front nose shape and color points right to where you need to shoot.

Strangely I've never lost one to head, though I've headlegged two.
