Seems to be a little bit big.

I've been headshot more times in it than in several months in multiple mech types combined so far.

Any other pilots experiencing the same?

Never been headshot in a BM.

I have however been headshot in a Thunderbolt by a poptart goon squad. Some people have amazingly good aim, and the Zoom module has been significantly improved.

Maybe it's the Adv Zoom fix rather than a BM problem then, that led to the crazy headshotting. =P

My first match out, one shot, head gone, no other damage anywhere.

Thought..... hmmmmm..... this is gonna be a long grind.

Have unlocked the basics on all of them since, and never been headshot since.

*Shrugs* IDK if I just twist enough most times to minimize it, if there be aimbotters out there, or I have just been lucky whilst you have been unlucky, or what. I guess time will tell.

Yeah, you're probably in a higher ELO bracket. Headshots aren't easy to pull off, so if it happens a lot it means your enemies are good, which in turn means you are good.

I've been cored in the head a few times in it.

Had a head get down to internals not yet died to a headshot but so far it does not feel anything as bad as a catapult.

I had one match where LB 10x shots were hitting the head. But its been Highlander like for me so far, one tough mech!

Where is the cockpit hitbox exactly?

Are there battlemasters on the training grounds?

[Taxxian]

Well I played all Mechs that weight over 50 tonns, and mastered most of them.

Ib no other Mech I got as much Head Damage as in my Battlemaster... something has to be fixed!

I usually play 12 vs 12 premades and there are few Mechs in the game that can be put to good use in this environment, so please fix the BM-Head so we maybe have 1 further Mech in 12 vs 12...

Try aiming for headshots when you game from Australia. Without a proper HSR its all a crapshoot @ 250+ms.

The Adv. Zoom is in a good place. We can't ask for a fix on an item that performs as intended. If the Zoom needed ANY fixing, it would be the target boxes not lining up with the actual mech.

I have never been headshot in a Battlemaster, but then again, I don't play the platform much. I do play the Catapult, so if people consider the Battlemaster's head hitbox better than a Catapult, I wouldn't consider it a problem at all.

[DarkDevilDancer]

Been piloting my battlemaster for weeks now and still haven't died to a headshot I don't think it is really an issue.
