The Atlas head is actually mostly CT - the head hitbox is just the left eye.

It's pretty hard to hit on a moving Atlas, so to be headshot 67 times I can only assume the OP is standing still - which is a bad idea in any 'mech.

[KinLuu]

I have mastered all the atlas variants (yes, even the -K) and I have only died to a headshot once. Once, in at least a couple of hundred games.

all i need to say.. died 67 time head module destroyed.. and most time i just start drop site to walking out to battle and some gauss,, hit me end of enemy start place.. =(

so do something make little more armour to configure .. or make 2 side armour on head too =(

i cant imagine an atlas that has been destroyed 67 times by HEADSHOTING
from all mechs it has the one of the SMALLEST cockpits
just by moving you angle it a little bit
and no... in terms of survivability/firepower its BY FAR the best mech out there... meh if you pilot it well you can sustain so much damage that most heavies would be dropped twice from it

Even standing still it's hard to headshot an atlas.
Seriously, last time I tried with lasers as soon as I shot the atlas it rocked back and the rest of the beam went into the CT.

You're building it wrong if that's the case.

I find this thread most amusing. My guess is so does the OP.

i love aiming for the left side of atlas' head.. not the best shot around, but out of 5 shots sure 1 or 2 would hit just try not to walk straight.. always twist your torso around..

You probably got erppc x4 or ppc x6 to the face. A lot of those flying around.

You never know, maybe he's running this as his 50tonner.

It's the little touches that make it great, like the SRM ammo for the SSRMs.

[Tykelau]

Ty ty, I tried to get into the head of the OP. FBI profiling etc etc.

[Utilyan]

Should make sure he checks his armor. He might have subtracted all the head armor to make room for a large laser, ect.

I don't think so..i think you don't pilot so good..look here:

[El Bandito]

What's this? Every one showing off their leet D-DC stats? Here is mine then.

lol, dying in an AS7. How low potential.

[StandingCow]

DDC is the mech I go to if I am having bad games. Seems to work as I have 27 kills to 7 deaths in it.

Those stats are a bit byassed because you haven´t played many matches. The more you play, the lower/average the k/d ratio gets.

[Whompity]

I dunno, after running 'phracts for most of 750 missions, I finally broke down and bought my first assault, a DDC. My first drop I knew I was in a different ELO bracket as I didn't recognize ANY names. Only played 3 matches but holy carp, talk about a different environment. The DDC kills as fast as I can waddle over to them. I'm sure that will pass, with time. I'm running 3xSRM6, 2LL, 1AC/20, AMS, ECM.

Granted, it's only been 3 matches, but we'll see how it goes.
