Tilted Sumos take less damage from laserweapons

If a sumo is in a slope and leaning against a laser weapon or EMP lighting weapon it will take less damage from it. In some cases it will take less than half the damage causing an Annihilitor to deal less than 2000 damage from each beam.
Tested with Annihilators, Penetrators and Spies. Golly cannon seems to deal about 1000 damage everytime though so it might just be laser weapons and such. Sharpshooter also deals about 1500 damage everytime it shoots.

Huh thats sounds so weird. Dont know what the code must be doing wrong to get something like that xd.

Does it happen only with sumo btw or other units aswell?

if you test this again can you show the hitsphere of the unit?

My guess it happens with units that have their center far off from the center on the ground and tilt in slopes.
It might be the engine that somehow uses 1 volume for detecting collision and 1 volume for detecting damage and the one that detects damage doesn't tilt when the unit tilts while the collision one tilt with the unit.

@harvey
The collision volume of the sumo follows the sphere of the sumo.
