Reduce Drone Hitboxes

Under considerationby John C · 30 Aug

Reduce the size of drone hitboxes so they match their visible models more accurately. Drones currently appear too easy to hit and destroy. Smaller, more precise hitboxes would make shooting them down more challenging and better reflect their compact size and mobility.

    Drones are only dangerous if you have a skilled pilot whos flying it or when they catch you offguard. I get that the hitbox has to be a bit bigger so balance them but as in right now its toooo easy to kill them. You hear it, you aim in the sky, you shoot near it, explodes anyway...

    Drones are way too easy to hit. I've almost never been missed and ive never missed a shot shooting them. With the current cooldown they are pretty worthless when they can easily be hit going near max speed. decreasing hitbox size for drones would make them viable for gameplay. I have been flying with my Radiomaster via x360CE and am a decent pilot but still stand no chance making it against any player with a pistol even.

    Drone Hitboxes Are Too Large I think the hitboxes for drones are currently way too large and make them too easy to shoot down. Even when you shoot close to the drone instead of actually hitting it, it often still gets destroyed or explodes. This makes using drones feel less rewarding and makes them very easy to counter. Suggestion: Reduce the drone hitbox slightly so players have to actually aim more accurately to destroy them. This would make drones a bit harder to shoot down while still keeping them balanced and counterable.

    Drones feel kinda weak now because of their extremely big hitbox, that feels like 1.5m in radius. They are almost useless because it takes almost 0 skill to destroy them

    I don't think it has to match the model as that might be too hard, but definitely smaller. A drone flying right at you should pretty easily be killed *if you aim* But a drone going full speed in acro should not at all be an easy target, which it currently seems to be.

    Drone hitboxes are way too big right now. You can easily destroy them across the map by hip-firing one shot. Even flying acro at high speeds, I'm taken out almost instantly. I understand why they made them bigger; otherwise, they'd be OP, but right now they pose little threat 99% of the time.

    they are currently way to big and way to easy to shoot them out of the sky

    I agree. I can kill drones even without aiming at medium to long distances. But don’t exaggerate it. Drones should be relatively easy to kill, but not to the absurd level they are right now. Otherwise they’ll become too powerful, almost like they are in real life, and it could completely change the PvP.

    Drones seem too east to shoot down. Make the hitbox smaller

    I agree, but understand the choice to make drones not overpowered. To counter a smaller hitbox, I would: 1. Add drone deployment time 2. increase drone cooldown time This way, you would have more realistic, more dangerous.. but less drones in the game.

    I can't edit or delete my previous comment, so that's why I'm adding this one instead. In my comment I said I would add increase the cooldown period, but I take that back. The cooldown period for kamikaze is pretty long already, it's long enough. Just make the hitboxes a bit smaller. 👍🏻

    Yeah, drones are way too easy to destroy vs real life difficulty of shooting them down. I get there are now new rounds for shooting at drones in the military but we can't just assume the guns are loaded with anti-drone rounds.
