Been around since alpha chump, its a known problem. The reason they capped speed wich was way higher was the hitreg wonkiness. Its actually done on purpose *the phasing* because at one point they did fix it.. and quickly reverted it after a week because lights got rekt hard. Just a game ago a light survived some serious dakka focus fire from many mechs because he was riding a hill and all the shots *dead on shots* went through it. In fact there are even vids about it. So yea its a known issue that this company has failed to address and why the game is a zombie mode. lol.

You could have just saud "source:trust me bro" and done a kickflip on your skateboard or something,

I believed nothing you said,.

yes, hitreg is terribad right at this moment; 2days ago I alpha'd THROUGH a still-standing novacat 3 FRIKKIN TIMES.
but:
a) it's not a light-only thing, as it affects everything and everybody
b.) lights STILL are FAR from invincible and die on the spot to a competent shot.
example: tried my wolfhound-grinner in a highly static game with some good overwatch on the redteam-part.
did not end well.

TLDR:
proper aim is a problem AND a cure to many mwo-related things.

Well, I see this ******* argument has gone precisely nowhere in the 18 months or so since I last looked at this forum.

The solution is the same as it's always been, shoot at them when they show their faces, because if you aren't doing that then you only have yourself to blame for what happens.

you can always NOT shoot them and see where that leads you.

honestly, at this point it's like game of scoccer, basketball or whatever:
"I don't wanna shoot a goal, and YET I lose the match - this is unfair"

there's no logic what-so-ever behind this argument.

I have to say its sad to see lights and meds go unchallenged in this game today.

Have you tried shooting at them?

Fighting a medium mech especially one caught out on its own is a free kill.

Let me know how that goes. Don't forget to actually land your shots, too. Makes a huge difference.

[ManusDei]

I am talking more specifically about how lights can tank more damage than they should be tanking. To me its just amazing how they can take as much damage as a heavy. I am pretty sure they are lights, unless they are meds but the time and time takes to kill one is a bit ridiculous.

You use the broken hit boxes to bait fire. Same with much of the terrain where the hitbox is larger than the visual mesh.
