Orkan splash range increased a bit recently?

My Galahad requires threading the needle to avoid 300m rocks. If they become 305m rocks, I dead. So hope no.

How did you get 72%?

I'm not sure if it's a bug but I also faced it, maybe they increased the splash radius because sometimes even if I jump I still take full damage.

It works from above. The darker area is mesh or something. You can strip anciles below you and do damage from above.
Also, awesome doc footage.

I also thought it may depend on where I hit.  the metal part may be thicker than the black ... material.  

but hitting from above is totally new to me... Ancile I can understand but the damage to the bot?  never tried

Damn... all my trade secrets are getting the light of day...

Remember, they can always modify things remotely.

I don't think it's 15m, that would mean you'd get hit at 307.5m, assuming you are referring to diameter and not radius. This is clearly not the case. I'd say the splash radius of Orkans is between 2 and 5 meters. Easy to find out in a custom match if someone can get a buddy and wants to spend the time to test it out.

Hmm, it just occured to me I didn't factor in bot size. Distance is measured from bot centers and bot bounding boxes are 6-9m across. So maybe half that should be subtracted. But then I think the projectile start is measured from the mouth of the weapon so add that in. I'm not sure, it's difficult to measure things accurately <= 2m resolution.

I thought they have increased it but comments on this post go some way towards strengthening my suspicion.

Yes, in the past week for sure as there were a few Galahad threads. I know I kited and dodged 300m rockets. I remember looking at the distance number very clearly. 

Your win %. I seem to be on beatdown mode, and get stuck with dumb teammates.

I knew there was at least one red with Thunders and that was whom I wanted to hide from and also attack.  if the opponent has only Thunders I wouldn’t have been killed while doing some dmg or at least peeling off the Ancile at that situation. 

the other reds had Orkans, which I really didn’t pay much attention at that point, bcs I stayed on this Orkan Doc (first bot) for ~2:50, killed three bots and damaged more, and kept a few beacons already.  so it was about time to change to the next.  anyways there won’t be not much to do with a damaged Doc against multiple advancing reds.  

I was simply surprised later when I found that what killed me was Orkans, since at that time I felt it was Tulus.  

anyways you are right that if I were all in determined to hide, I should have turn more sharply.  

...

and my win% was 74%, I guess I had one more win after you checked ... but those were all luck I guess.  I may fall to fourty something tonight if I teammed up with the red I met recently ... 

He probably yelled SURPRISE when doing so...

just took this snapshot from a recent match :




the problem here is that I might have also moved away a little bit from where the shots were initially fired, while sidestepping... we cannot really say the splash radius is >10m, since some of the 10m distance might be me being stepping away from the spot where rockets were fired. still it looks like the radius is larger than 2 or 5 meters...

a screenshot where the shooter stayed still would confirm it,

okay, either Orkan splash radius increased or the Moon center beacon ceiling/floor had become thinner. now I can do this reliably. it doesn't matter which part of the ceiling as long as I can target the red upstairs:


by the way, this was a battle I was randomly teamed up with ѻﻭɼﻉ   it was an easy win,
