I'd like to familiarize with hitboxes of every mech. I sometimes look into Testing Grounds to test weapons on hot/cold map and I know there are Mechs but very few all around the map. IIRC it's mostly IS Mechs, not sure if I've seen Clan.

I wish there was a map with all the Mechs chassis so I can test hitboxes. Any suggestion? Anyone already sorted all the maps and Mechs available on each?

You can check out some of the mechs through smurfy's, but the reality is that the mechs are static in Training Grounds and I don't quite understand why they don't set up it a certain way (all Light mechs on a map, all Mediums on the next, etc.) so that you can see how you can shoot other mechs effectively.

I guess... we could call this... Lostech™.

It's a Feature^TM in the game

I think the best way to test hitboxes alone is probably by going into Academy Tutorial with the mech of your choice, then switching to another mech and shooting your own mech.

But of course, this requires that you own the mech you want to test.

Why would PGI make it easier for the players to report problems with hitboxes? It just makes too much sense.

This would be a good suggestion for them, maybe they never thought about it.

How do you want to proceed, we all send a tweet to Russ?

My suggestion though, put one Mech of each class on Polar Island, it's open and flat enough to walk around and spot the Mech you want to test.

Now that we have a VIP walking around, how about we have (or at least the option) the Mechs in the training grounds walking around? Even walking a path back and forth would be fine.

I agree with this and also call for the ability to customize any mech, owned or not, and drive it in testing grounds as customized.

Really? I only remember a few user made (I think) pics of Mechs with overlay color for hitboxes.

[oldradagast]

We've also suggested they allow you to take any mech - owned, trial, etc. - out for a spin in the Testing Grounds so folks could get a feel for them. Nope. If you don't own the mech and it's not currently a trial, you can't test it out in the Testing Grounds. Unless there's some trick in the Academy to try out any mech (owned, trial, or otherwise), you just can't do it, which is silly.

[Mawai]

As someone mentioned ... the selection of mechs on the training ground maps is historical. They were developed a few years ago before a lot of the newer mechs were introduced and no one has gone back and added some of the new mechs probably because it wasn't considered essential or a high priority and honestly also because they may not have thought of it.

I also agree that polar would be a good map and it would be cool if they could put one of evey mech on the map.

I did told you before that PGI never did add any new mech in testing ground since first release of feature, well pretty sure they don't see the interest people can have about this or maybe just are lazy to update with new mechs.


If you want learn about hitboxes there is, in addition of hitboxes screens, tons of videos on youtube of people testing hitboxes of each mechs too ..

You were able start a closed team battle server and test all your builds against yourself with MW4 Mercs MekTek. The A.I. is much tougher with your builds fighting you too I may add.
