yes - it would be a good world when every ship had its perfect hitbox ( no, thats no sarcasm ) - but hitboxing is work. - work that often involves frustration and disappointments. - compared to modelling - its really work. - when you model, you see your ideas, your concept come true... when you hitbox, you mostly meddle with a lot of parameters and the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be the tunnel being on fire.
i do not like hitboxing ... but there are tutorials out there for creating hitboxes. - many a players can try their luck - i d be VERY happy about that.
no one will ever complain when you create a hitbox that fits the warships like a glove - even if it becomes significantly harder to hit ( cause it is meant to be only hittable where you can see the ship ) - but this work needs to be done!
so - try your luck on the warships - you ll get support and assistance as you do for sure. but don t be disappointed when the hitboxes don t work the first, second, third...... hundredth time.
