So even though you see a slender framed female, what the game sees is a buff man.

Im a slender female in a mans body?


Yea I can get behind that

Edit: wont lie I find it harder to kill female assult and logi suits but well yea could be as ya say and its all in the mind. Guess will have to head over to the asia servers(no one evar on dem servers) with some peeps to test it out.

Hit detection is complete **** against the female model. I'd say 9/10 players are using it because they are harder to hit. Total bullshit. Keep females if you want, but make them the same damn size as us chaps.

I'd argue the scout female is actually a bigger profile, but the female assault and logi are definately skinnier. The female assault can even be confused for a scout at times it's that skinny.

Since I play scout I've not really noticed the difference tbh, but when I come up against a female assault you can instantly tell it's smaller than the male version.

The hit boxes should be the same if they aren't already, but I've not noticed "phantom" flashes that do damage when fighting a female assault so I'd argue they're not the same at all.

Different character size usually means different hit boxes.
In Tekken female characters don't have the same hit box of Kuma or Panda.

Now if the hit boxes for female suits are bigger then the actual models then CCP messed it up because that would mean that female suits, despite their actual size, are as easy to hit as males which is physically IMPOSSIBLE

Now what we need is hit boxes appropriate to body size.
If female have the same hit boxes of males, as I said, it's simply wrong: it can't physically be that way.
Female suits on the other hand can't be too thin/slim because that would make them harder to hit: balance wise that is wrong as well.

In PalnetSide 2 female suits are different than male suits but are not harder to hit because they aren't much slimmer.
In Dust 514 should be the same.
If female suits have to remain slimmer and have smaller hit boxes then they should also have less HP to balance things BUT I don't know if this is the right course of action.

You obviously know little to nothing about game design if you think it's "physically IMPOSSIBLE". Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there. You seem to think that the hitbox and the skin are one, this is wrong, it's two separate things.

I'm surprised a number of you better players have such a problem with perception. CCP said same hit box, so as long as your always aiming your best, you should hit. What, did a female make you go 30/4 2 or 3 times? :P

Perspective .

You belive what your told by CCP.

I on the other hand have seen CCP trolling/failing hard for 8 years + .

Just a fun little test you might want to try. Get a friend, make an alt whose a female, q-sync together, go near the redline of an ambush map, have him shoot you a single time with a gun at the edge of your suit. You'll notice the shield lighting effect appears some distance from your actual suit.

Hello,

Both female and male models of dropsuits have absolutely the same hitbox and detect hits the same way.

Just FYI :)

Anyone with a brain already knew this was the case. When has a FPS game ever had something so stupid as a smaller hit box for female characters?

If I can strafe 1/4 further around a corner before you see me, I have a blatant advantage. Just saying.

The problem isn't a change in hitbox sizes, it's a change in the estimated area of the hitbox. People will hold off shooting what is actually a large target, just because the character model isn't in the crosshairs.
There is already enough guesswork going on when it comes to lag & that bloody shield flash bug, we don't need partially invisible soldiers added to the mix.
