Hitbox request thread.

once you hit the crosshair though - the guns will autoaim. so they ll try to hit the center of the ship anyway. - so in most of the situations, its not really as important as it might seem sometimes that a hitbox matches the model perfectly - cause the guns will attempt to autoaim at the center anyway - instead of some gap between wings and body. - however shots can still miss that might have hit a part of the ship - but its not as serious as it seems.

Yes they will try to hit the center of the ship. If it moves more than some threshold from the predicted point the autoaim is lost and most important the convergency point of the guns will be on a different place => the guns that are further from the center of your ship will hit/not hit the edges of the ship... IF it has hitbox there.

You get the nice situations like firing a SN from very close against a Raven Claw => since it moved towards you and the SN is on your wing, the convergency point will be behind the ship => it should either miss or hit the wings => but RC doesn't have a hitbox there so it will either fly trough... or hit the guns that "hang in space".

It certainly does "feel" bad when you SEE the shots fly trough the model.

The lower the gun speed and the more out of center your guns are the bigger the problem is - try a Havoc with 4 Magma hammers ;)
