Well, even if it was uncommon to get legged in the regular hunchie, this one has jj's. That changes everything. If your in the air and someone shoots at you, you can bet your legs will get hit. Heck, in a brawl, I purposely jump to spread damage if I know the next alpha will be my doom.

As for the srm's, you could always go srm6 artemis and pack more punch )

"packing punch" and actually doing effective damage...not the same. As noted, Even with Artemis, SRM6 spread damage worse than a standard SRM4. Looks good for damage screen, not as good for killing. And to run ASRM6 requires 4 more tons, at which point you lose something else, for dubious bonus to damage.

And again, at about 80 matches in with my IICs, and not once have I lost a leg. It's about playstyle. On a soft fragile Medium, I go with the "don't get hit" card. And save enough juice to cushion my fall, most items.

I think I been playing long enough to know what works for me.

Looks like that pitch change is happening after all. from 20 to 25 degrees in addition to the hitbox adjustments.

Yup. Still think it'll need about 5º more, but it's a start, and who knows, after testing it, it might be enough. Arm hitbox change has me happy, hoping the STs last a little longer now.

Well, according to russ, it's also the maximum amount the model design will allow.
