I play C&B Clan server, Titan Suez, and almost every game is the same - our titan is destroyed and the enemy titan has still three quarters of its' shield left.
All scores are low - the gold star only has 31 points.
It appears our titan shield goes down massively for every missile hit while the other one hardly moves and is gone almost immediately; even if we get all five silos the enemy shield hardly moves.
I've started to take screenshots, it's so ridiculous.
Is this speed of titan destruction possible?

If it's moving titans, it is possible. I've heard that if you put the titan in a certain spot, it messes up the Silo Missile and they don't hit.

If you think something shady is going on, stop playing in that server.

correct, if it is moving titans you can have 2 of the silos miss, and on pac it is possible to have 3 miss if you place titan correctly, just do a search, there are a number of pics of where to place. Some people call it a glitch but it is basically due to the traj. of the missles, the are unable to arc and hit, you can watch them fly right over as they miss, like quemical said if it is something you don't like play another server as it is not against any rules to allow it.

Or to slow sown the rate of Shield failure, you can sacrifice yourself as a human shield and intercept the missiles as they arrive at your Titan,

I've worn one for the team a couple of times by being in the wrong spot as a missile arrives

and once I was taking off in a Transport and saw the missile plow thru my windshield 3 secs after take off!!

No idea if this actually works but its a funny way to be killed!!

Here is another theory.
Watch the missile timer by using the T key.
If your side takes a silo and the missile doesn't get a chance to leave
before the other side takes the silo back then no need for it to miss it never left.

This happens when your side doesn't hold the silos long enough.
And the other side gets to your reactor fast means game over and low scores.

So like everyone else said, a commander may be moving it over a silo, then disabling titan movement in-game, then switching teams and there you have it.

There's a game tip about it, so Dice probably kept this as a feature that was unintended.

Ive played in a bunch of different servers were the enemy titn is in the middle of the map, our titn is still in its original location, so i become commander and try to move ours, but it says "unable to move to requested location" with a chicks voice. At first I thought it was a glitch or that I was doing something wrong, after reading this though, it makes sense that its the admin, is there any other explanation, or is it definitely the admin cheating.

you can't move the titan once shield goes down.

by pure curiosity, can post somes screens of where the titan should be place so the missiles miss?

This was a non-moving Titan server. Our titan shields dropped almost immediately whereas the enemy shield was hardly touched... at one point we had three silos.
This happened so many games in a row I had to take a few screenshots - one attached (hopefully).
Any thoughts?

Where's the secret spot to avoid missiles?

why not, 10 min game isn't impossible, and from what it seems, you guys hardly capture any silos at all, 2 at most i'd say, that means all the other time, missiles are hitting your titan brining shield down.

Then you can assume you have no titan defense and they have rdx with supplies, thus bring down titan core portion should take less than 2 minutes..

then again there can always be cheaters where I've seen titan explode with majority of shield all of sudden.

So if you move your EU titan between 2 and 5 both those silos will miss, and on PAC place between 1 and 5 and those 2 silos miss, also on pac there is a sweet spot where 1,5, and 3 will miss but that takes alot of practice.

It is an unfair advantage if the other commander is not doing the same thing as you can then concentrate all your man power on 2-3 silos instead of 5, it was a big issue in twl matches back in the day of titan ladders, and why most titans are locked now along with everyone spamming the aa guns. Also, there is a titan placement on verdun and shuabia I believe, I am not sure about minsk or any of the others, but it is only 1 silo.
