Would recommend to watch this as its more information than i can say in words to be exact.

2:50: The reported bug.

22:35: Armada moving hitbox vs not on cortex.

24:22: Shows another aiming bug with gauntlet/rattle that might need fixing.

25:55: Square hitbox gauntlet vs Cylindrical agitator.

Expected Behaviour

Fire close to frontal agitator when coming from its idle direction.

Actual Behaviour

Its 'can i hit' calculation comes from the barrel instead of its 'aimpoint'. Due to double barrel?

Research direction
Investigate the aiming logic for gauntlet and agitator units in the game's Lua scripts. Look for how hitbox detection and aiming point are computed. The bug report indicates the calculation might be using the barrel instead of the aimpoint. Review the unit definitions and weapon scripts in the repository.
