    This continuing defender hitbox invisible extension is unprofessional and makes the game look like it's not finished. .A while back some people tried to tell me it was lag, but after over 6000 matches on a defender via everything from T1 wifi to barely connecting to a cell tower on a tropical island, I am confident and qualified to say that it's basically the same extra invisible hitbox at all latencies.

    Make the ship equal in size to its hitbox, or make the hitbox equal in size to the ship. One or the other. Just pick one and do it. There are other things to fix as well in Battle Bay but this is an issue that especially makes the game look bad from a streaming perspective. Nobody on Twitch will care about some excuses, they will just think (correctly) that you have an issue programming your physics and/or graphics. It's a bad look. We need to be able to dodge attacks by a thin margin from the boat, and see ourselves dodging attacks by a thin margin. (Not guess it was a thin margin as compared to the extra invisible hitbox surrounding the boat).

    There are thousand of times where my defender dodges a big torp by a thin margin, but still get hit anyway. Now I know why...

    Defender now is basically big lump of hitpoint asking to be torped. It is the slowest boat which can be hit easily and making it big makes it an easy target even more. Numerous times I have been killed while healing defender cause it cannot dodge a damn torpedo.
