So I have gone into 2 games where I asked a teammate to core me center torso on my pracht. What I found is kind of strange. I have 78 armor on the front CT, and 10 rear. However in 5 large laser shots ( done two trials mind you) my armor is depleted.

Sorry for the teams who lost so I could check this. I also had my arm armor depleted from full to zero by 3 large lasers and it went dark orange.

Is this a known bug, because I would feel bad If I cost my team a game for something thats widely known. One game though wouldnt have mattered, they lost 7 against 5

[The Cheese]

There are problems with hitboxes all around at the moment. I shot a stationary phract in the back of his leg , and was hitting the front of his CT.

It's a known issue.

I've felt the same way about at least the CT armor, and yet I still get a 2-1 k/d ratio with only pugs. If this gets 'fixed' or if it's actually a problem (seems to be), then it will be astoundingly powerful to be a 4X Cataphract.

This is interesting because I've actually been doing very well my Cataphract. But I have noticed that the center torso goes dark orange rather quickly in a firefight.

Ah...another bug here, not surprising at all.

[Lonestar1771]

Many people have had a perceived weakness in the over all armor, myself included, but I don't have any proof of it's legitimacy.

[Lefty Lucy]

I'll need to see a video to believe it.

[Roadbuster]

Test mode please, PGI.
If they can't test if things are working they should at least give us a tool to try things.

I dont have a recorder, why not jump in one and have someone shoot you with a weapon and count the damage till you run out of armor.

[Lonestar1771]

I can't remember what the total armor is on the CT but 5 LL shots with a single laser is 45 damage. The atlas has ~65 on the CT

[Monky]

Actually the Atlas has around 124 total CT armor, combining front and back. That's 5 AC20 shots to go through the front CT armor alone (assuming a sane amount of rear armor) - speaking of MWO not standard B-tech where 62 is the total.

It took me awhile to notice this, but i did today on my 4x. Took a 5 Large laser blast from an Awesome to the CT and i was down to yellow internals....I think something is ...off....

Lol yeah I haven't played in a while so my mind is hazy on the numbers.

[Artgathan]

I don't have any numbers to back this up, but I do agree that the armor feels thin. My Cataphract seems to sustain less damage before going down than my Centurion does.

Its not your imagination, and if it stays this way the catapracht will be a HUGE handicap to have on your team. Not only is it fragile regardless of decent weapon payload, but you take the chancd of giving the other team some variant of catapult that are usually pretty powerful to begin with.

[justin xiang]

is this confirmed?

[Orkhepaj]

Knowing is the issue.

If you have one, just go out and repeat the test I did. It will only take one try to convince you.

[Onyx Rain]

Submit a support ticket....I've felt a little more fragile then i thought I should be but not sure, and I jack the front armor up to 70 like I do on my awesomes....still seems like my front ct burns out little faster on the phract even though I set it to same as an awesome....so definitely interested to see if something is going on with the phract
