first you have to remember there are 1-2 seconds delay for dmg to apply to enemy paperdoll after you did the damage depending on ur sensors.
2nd is hitreg, yeah it happens alot if you move forward and you shot from front with ppc that the hit is registered on ur back. stupid.
on question of dying to less dmg were you hit with many weapons from a light that possibly critted your ammo/gaus? while usual mashineguns galore everybody knows crit well, but 10 small lasers crit also very well.

Hitreg can sometimes become shaky, but it is very rare. More often on fast light mechs abusing MASC acceleration and deceleration.

Also regarding 20 years of skill.
yes. 20 years is more than enough for you to not only lose that skill, but to lose the ability to evaluate that you even lost the skill. This is not a trade or profession. This is a video game, and reaction speed and vision play key parts, both regress over two decades.

You lose the ability to quickly assess how much danger you are in, thinking you are being shot by one person, while being shot at by 5. You find yourself out of position more often, and you miss shots that you think you've landed.

It's called getting old. It's real.

Hitreg is pretty good in this game.

What can screw the hitreg is if your ping is varying wildly. Often caused by other people using the same network you are on heavily. So if your ping is going from 20 - 100 all the time, your hitreg will likely be worse than someone with a solid 100 ping.

Yep. I used to be able to snap-turn an exact 180 in Counterstrike, and react significantly faster than I do. I tried going back a few years ago, and I just could not compete. A lot of that was that the only people still playing Counterstrike are the die-hards who never left - but when I tried to do the actual tasks I could do when I was 19, the reflexes and precision just were not there.
