Sure, but the vast majority of times people complain about it is actually just because they missed and need an excuse

That already exists on the paper doll and in fact would give you a better idea of how well you twisted by looking at it. Got like 800 damage and all your torsos are open? Good job, you twisted well and did a good amount of damage.

The paper doll doesn't display hard values, and it doesn't accumulate throughout waves in faction either. You should think about what you say before you type it dude.

I wouldn't say "good". "Ok" would be more accurate. I've seen worse, but it COULD be better...

Well, you're wrong lol.

If I can hit lights while playing a light with ~300 ping on Oceanic server, I say hit reg is solid.

The guy they brought in to build their hit detection system was really good. I recall he was invited to give technical talks about how it works at some conferences. He left PGI after a few years and is now a principal engineer at Amazon.

Thanks for the link. The article illustrates why a game like MWO should be seen as a scientific achievement.

It's clearly useful in context like comparing trends but as it is there are caveats which hold it back but it also means understanding the nuance of each mech, their builds and how they're played, etc. However without that context it's just there, without meaning.
