Hitboxes define where your damage goes when they hit, it's this and not the way the mech looks that control it :

Here are the hit boxes for the Ares mech. This is what you are
actually fighting, not the image on the screen

I took the head shot location out of the illustrations.

No wonder the Stalkers side torso's are so vulnerable!!!!!

I remember Von or someone from the devteam saying they were proud of the fact that Vengeance had per-polygon hit-detection, not hitboxes. Interesting.

thats a nice thing to know, thanks MK

the ares has got a real small ct

Also explains why what seems to be a trorso hit shoes up on legs

hope they give nicer hitboxes to the madcat someday

The links aren't working for me.

I want the madcats' damage model redone too, either that or change the name to the "Paper Mache".

I swear for the being the clans most advanced mech it sure does fall apart easy.

Links do not work for me. I can only see the one for the Avatar.
