Bringing in Canon, really? In the BT universe 99.99% of the time all the pilot could do was to place crosshair over target then allow the battlecomputer time to align weapons up on the target then give tone when high probability of a hit on the mech, not any specific location. And while lining up the weapons the mech itself would be performing defensive moves/measures for incoming fire.
And Solaris is not about "honor", it is making that big win. Now if only PGI could add alternate firing views, allow a mech to survive with the loss of both legs, allow it to popup on one arm to fire torso and weapons mounted in the other arm and/or fire arm weapons left/right (with said weapons) or up/down....The games which had those setups was the Multiplayer Battletechs games - EGA MPBT 3025 (GEnie) and MPBT Solaris (Aol/Gamestorm). EA's MPBT 3025 was a clone MWMerc 4. Mech died with loss of leg.

I think every win I've had has been down to legging...
Part of that is that it's the bit you can most reliably hit when your opponent is torso twisting, part of it is because my advantage with the Mechs I play is mobility. If I can take theirs away entirely, I strengthen my own hand.
I still feel bad about it. But I do disagree with your vociferous anti-legging stance... Sounds a little like you're frustrated by something and rather than adapt, you want it gone, or to denegrate those who have done the bad thing to you.

We Clans talk much of honor. Nothing is more precious to a Clan warrior than his honor. How do I define honor? Success.

Nobody here to help now.....poor Big Boy. Try not to cry. Just because you waddle around like a fat (deleted) does not make you weak. Light Mechs get hungry too....and your Lunch.

If it goes on like this, Solaris 7 will soon become a pretty deserted game mode. Sorry anklebyters, but you are taking the fun out of the game for yourself and the other players.

Exactly this and:
-- More loadtimes than playtime
-- Meta as a whole is even worse than in FP/QP
-- the bugs that are around weight even heavier in solaris than they do in normal qp/fp
> getting shoot by a mech from the front getting killed by beeing cored from the back
> shooting a mechs arm, mech dies without internals
> generaly shooting a fresh mech that now dies with intact armor but no internals
> shooting mechs that you can not hit no matter what and just getting killed without beeing able to do anything about it
> overheat dmg progressing even when your heat is down again
Didn't even do 20 games on solaris and got all those bugs, so I see no reason to play it.
Its just the usual pgi garbage pile of hot steaming >beeeeeep<

I agree that legging is a bit of a cheese victory but I understand why the Piranha and other lights go for the legs. It's a strategy to get inside the bigger mechs LOS.
An idea could be to have a star rating for the entertainment of the crowd. 1 star is considered dull and 5 stars entertaining. This idea is used in WWE2k16 to 18. The stars could be a SSR modifier and also give bigger pay outs.
Also the less weapons and boating a mech has could also be considered a bonus multiplier. Like bidding with the clans. If you have less then 2 types of weapon system you may also get a better reward win or lose.
It might encourage more variety rather then the classic 4 x LBX10 kodiaks and annhilators.
Anyways it's great and I encourage anyone to play it. Hope to see you there.

So disabled CTTP congestion control which I activated previously without testing.
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=none
To turn it off entirely.
This fixed my hit detection issues I was having on Oceanic and European servers
