Just throwing this out there...I've never been headshotted in an Atlas before yesterday. It's happened 3 times since the patch. Did something change?

Could use a response from PGI on this one.

From what i've been seeing on the forums it sounds like they fixed the broken cockpit hit boxes, but on a few of the mechs (mainly the founders atlas) it is wayyyyyy to big.

It was a fix they desperately needed though, because as you said before, you almost never were headshot. I've stood there on training grounds and with squadmates in my vent trying to get headshots on that damn red eye before the patch, and even the entire cockpit was being covered by a large laser it wasn't taking damage.

Seems they just went a little overboard.

Headshot 2 atlases so far. Both of them were Founders D. Does this issue affect only the founders model?

It does seem to only affect the Founders Atlas there are threads in the http://mwomercs.com/...feedback-12245/ section.. http://mwomercs.com/...as-head-hitbox/ and http://mwomercs.com/...-just-founders/

Perhaps a ploy to convince Founders to buy Boar's Head mechs.

I would have to confirm this also. I have over 650 matches in my founders Atlas and I don't ever recall being headshot in it since closed beta ended. I take it out regularly too. 1st game last night killed with a clean headshot, not a scratch anywhere else.

You beat me to it.

They broke the UAC5s with the sale on Ilyas and Firebrands.. now they really broke Founders Atlases for the release of Boar's Head..some pretty slimy stuff..bad thing is.. it would work on people who just play and spend money without ever looking at the forums..

I'd like to see some notification one way or another if it was intentional or a bug they are now aware of and will address :S

They'd never admit the Founder's Atlas was intentional- they might however admit to an overall head hitbox fix.

an acknowledgement of any kind would be something

[Roughneck45]

It is a bug.

Just going to have to let it collect dust until a fix

yup. green glass is missing to. maybe they stole our armour

same thing for me, first match after patch in my founders atlas headshot. Very odd. other atlas all seem fine.

Founders atlas is the only one without the new variable look for weapons.

All the others have it.

I would venture a guess that they didnt get it to actually work on the founders atlas, removed it and compiled the patch without checking the founder mech since it was just turned back to normal.

Funny, popping the eye in the testing ground is a complete reflex for me and probablly the easiest given the proper angle during an effecient Forest Colony weapon test run....I don't even stop moving, and pop it every time.

In game...not so much, but I've cockpit'd Atlases often enough.

I didn't think they touched the Founders Atlas but something they did messed with it.

[Darklite00]

Totally took my Founders out and was shocked that I got nailed from a headshot. Yeah, something is up. My other two atlas have no problem.

[Duncan Jr Fischer]

Don't know about Atlases, my QKD got all of his head armor gone with the orange internal structure yesterday. It was rather uncommon. But I have also seen bare cockpits on enemy mechs.
Have to agree that there possibly was a fix to cockpit hit boxes around the mechs that made headshots easier. Until now I was being headshot only in CPLTs.

[BUDFORCE]

Can confirm it has happened to me also, got headshotted twise yesterday in my founders AS-D (once pretty much straight away with having nearly full armour everywhere else).

I just put it down to increadibly bad luck, but reading this, leads me to believe something has been cocked up.....

[Tincan Nightmare]

I can throw my vote in the ring for this one too, also got headshot in my AS7-D(F) when I piloted it first time from the patch. Went from 100 percent armor to dead in seconds, ironically from an enemy Atlas . If I remember right from CB they had to reduce the size of the Atlas head hit box because it was to large and they were getting decapitated quite regularly, maybe this patch reset that hit box on the founders Atlas?

[A Man In A Can]

Sure its a bug and not because of more people getting used to the AZ module?

What weapons are in the damage reports when you get headshot?
