Quick update with some more findings.

Query: How much room does a Scout need to sprint through a gap?
Test Method: Used a compact nanohive (2.0m radius) to judge distance between two LAVs and steadily increased the gap width until the Scout could successfully pass through undetered.

Results: 1.0m clearance is required for sprinting th as little as a 0.5m space for walking. With this we can assume adequate space needed, when sprinting, on either side, is a 25% increase approximately. Sprinting causing a noticable increase in collision occurrences and, if space is tight, will cause the player to 'glide' along collision edges or outright stop if approached head on.

- And I just specced into scout suits.....

If you stick with it, which you shouldn't. You'll find folks in the same boat here:

Updated Report:
Test was conducted with Mr Musturd as the potential scout victim.

Hi Aeon,

These aren't the results I had expected to see, but I cannot argue with your method. Your test results explain why we're taking damage after reaching cover. Thanks for clearing this up, and great job once again.

So the sudden decrease to scout survivability in 1.2 resulted primarily from a performance improvement that boosted hit detection, right? I doubt CCP will rollback a performance improvement, so I wonder if they'll give us back our smaller hitbox now .

I hope you CLUELESS idots realize that ALL Hit-Boxes were made to be ALL the SAME NO Matter what Suit your using now. CCP did this with the patch-release of the Commando suit.

ALL hit-boxes are NOW the Same and the Standard is the Assault suit or "Medium" category in the Market tab.

The Heavy suit had there Hit-boxes REDUCED.

The Light suit had them INCREASED.

So when I added the sprint speed boosts to my logi and he suddenly started clipping corners he never clipped before and became easier to hit was that because they decreased the heavy hit box or increased the scout hit box? It also gets worse the faster you go. I moved the boost up from standard to advanced and it became even more apparent. Also probably because of the standard hit boxes right? As my speed goes up I gain the hit box of a vehicle or something?

As Ive previously explained to others outside ofthis forum I have no idea how it could be fixed because all its really doing is rewarding players who arent aiming on target, but in all actuality missing by a degree associated with how fastthe target is moving. Basically, youre hitting because youre missing, whether that be intentional or not. Ive noticed a massivve jump in my KDR since discovering this though, landing 5-6 KDR games rather frequently.

Im assuming your kdr has improved due to fewer deaths and not more kills, yes? A scout's got to know his limitations!

I assume his KDR's improving because he's aiming behind moving targets rather than leading them.

+ 1 and really great work on these tests. Like others I experienced a serious decline in my scouting survivability and hit detection with my shotty. I was aiming at people but I'll try aiming a bit behind and see if the large holes in their body appear. I hope they sort this out. With speed being my preferred play style I feel pretty crippled in 1.2 but have a hard time leaving my hard level scout.

Even if this doesn't prove that Hitboxes are ****** up, it does give a reason as to why Scouts are getting caught on so many Objects/Players as they try make their getaway.

Hey Aeon,
When we last spoke (July 8th), you had switched from Scout to medium frame following the initial Uprising nerf(s). Are you back to running Scout?

Aeon's findings explain why people have been complaining about being hit and killed even after already getting behind cover but this is not an experience new to Uprising; it's something people I know have complained about as far back as Codex.
