I would like to see the hitboxes for mechs, I don't see a balance reason not to since we can already go into training grounds to test hitboxes for a 'rough estimate' of how to destroy mechs. Seeing the precise hitboxes isn't a big change just a nice convenience.As far as hit reg, particularly with lasers, it seems there is a risk of no reg situations. I have had some lately myself and it seems erratic. Normally it is with a mech that is facing me head on, I shoot, register a hit, see no damage on the paper doll with a center of mass shot. Not even an armor blink. It could be the paper doll not updating, it could be a desynch (though it seems unlikely, combat otherwise is working fine at these times and they seem to be right in front of me and fighting me as a mech normally would).I think Jager's video does display this kind of behavior as even with splitting the hit over all three hitboxes the damage should have rendered a fully armored torso orange, as your armor percantages adjust the color above that level of armor HP already. And that's assuming a perfect split of damage between all side torsos.
