Armor size changes the target profile opponents can hit in STALCRAFT: X. EXBO’s Steam explainer describes a hitbox as the invisible character shape the game checks when incoming shots connect, then compares the projected areas of light, medium, and heavy armor.

Front and side projected areas for light, medium, and heavy armor hitboxes.

Light armor projects 1.31 m² from the front and 0.76 m² from the side. Medium measures 1.36 m² and 0.91 m², while heavy reaches 1.45 m² and 0.97 m². Compared with light armor, heavy armor’s projected area is 11% larger from the front and 28% larger from the side. Those percentages describe area, not a stated increase in hit probability.
