Please do something.

Not really. Maybe you should pre-order a Turkina.

You replied just to make an insult? Or is it your position that hitreg and HSR are actually working well?

I hit what I shoot at. You claim mechs are getting smaller which is not the case. A 20 ton mech that is consistent with others of its weight is not evidence that mechs are shrinking.

It's really ******* ******** how you can't hit a mech that's right in front of you because they're too ******* short, that **** has to stop

Well no, he's right... Mechs aren't 'getting smaller' Look at Annihilators and Fafnirs lately?

You're straight up making a dumb statement. Nothing more simple or difficult to it than that.

Many lights were smaller before The Great Rescaling.

The new Flea is the same size as the Locust, and the Piranha is larger than either, and those are the two smallest 'Mechs released in recent memory so...

...no?

IMO, all of the 'Mechs should get smaller. It would be the best way to increase TTK without screwing 'Mech-to-'Mech balance.

Have you seen how tall some lights are? Wolfhound (35t) is as tall as the catapult(65). My Jenners,Ravens,Spiders.fire starters would all love to go back to their pre-re-scaling size.Volumetric my ***. Those 54kph slugs just can't aim or torso pitch-twist then cry all day about a mech that weighs less than a big ac and ammo being op.

My Black Knights sit on the sidelines of the field, all clamoring and yelling "Pick me! Pick me!" But the other mechs just laugh and point, and with mocking tones say to them: "How's the weather up there? Who wants the guy who exposes 6 meters of mech before his guns are clear on their team? NOBODY, that's who!" And then after awhile, the BKs stop asking to play, and they sit forlorn, knowing that size really does matter and that sometimes being the tall guy just aint what its cracked up to be. At least they find some small amount of pathetic solace in the thought "well, at least I am not a Thanatos, those poor fatties".

This isn't an issue of the small hitboxes. It happens also when you fire on larger mechs

In general you are right. Hitreg is really fishy at time. I pumped an AC/20 and 3xSRM4 into the CT back of a heavy...and it was light yellow.

However, what weapons do you usually use when you fire on small mechs? lasers?

What Mechs are getting smaller? The Fafnir and Blood Asp are by no means small Mech and a 20 tonner like the Piranha or Flea is kinda supposed to be somewhat small. Haven't seen a Hellspawn in the wild in ages, but the Thanatos isn't small either, so I really dunno what you're talking about, OP.

Whenever hitreg goes to hell for me, it usually coincides with latency spiked and packet loss on my end. Never had issues when ping / packet loss was fine.

everything is getting smaller. can barely spot that teensy-tiny annihilators, grashoppers etc.
the sky is falling again, in a plethora of ways @looking at the current active threads.
yet, ~most~ of us will survive it ;)
