Since yesterday's patch (21st March 2017) I have been dying within minutes of engaging the enemy and can be brought down by a few machine gun hits or a couple of medium laser hits.

This hasn't been the case for my Timberwolf for the past few months that I have been playing them. My score has dropped from about 350 - 400 (not good, I know) to 30 to 60 (dreadful).

For me the game has become frustration and little else.

Is it just me?

Just got killed by a single medium pulse laser shot. Not worth carrying on with MWO. . . .I'll send a bug report and leave it at that.

- That just impossible. Try strip all your mech again and put back proper armor tons and weapon. That can help. If not - record a video where you mech suffer to death from single medium laser. Are you sure you not get medium alpha in back?

Read the sticky then edit report with steps to reproduce. And double check your armour values.

Played my timmy plenty, works exactly like before patch.

Just reporting back after doing 20 or 30 test runs, reading up on TBR builds and taking careful observations. The first two or three test-matches had the same sudden death after taking hardly any hits and then the issue simply "eased". It was as if 90% of my armour had been restored.

I now find that I am a bit more vulnerable than before the last patch and my scores have gone down becaus eI am more "reserved". Scores are now recovering due to my "retraining". I also removed missiles to reduce visibility and now adhere better to my own rules:
o - Sneak behind the target and shoot it in the back;
o - Keep moving even when you think you are safe;
o - Use all available cover wherever possible;
o - Keep with the team and hide behind an assault mech whenever you can;
o - Maintain sharp situation awareness;
o - Use a "radar deprivation" module to best effect;

Hope this helps someone but I realise that it may not.
