Why is the Atlas the only Mech that has an unkillable head? Even when youre both standing completely still and aiming into each others faces there is minimal if any damage to the head? The dragon or awesome by comparison have tiny heads and yet you can blow their heads right of their necks. Please look into this nonsense.

Haven't had too many headshots on Dragons I can recall, but yeah, the head hitbox on an Awesome is bigger than an entire Jenner.

In all cases for all mechs, what appears to be the "head" is not in-fact the Cockpit. The "head" is just a part of the Center Torso.

The actual cockpit (the part listed in your Mech Paper Doll as the "head") is the Glass Window that you can see out of... I'm for the glass to get a "head-shot".

LOL... I remember when Closed Beta had first started... Atlas head hit-boxes where the size of the Atlas itself... shoot in it's general direction and *boom* Headshot...

Agree tho'... it "is" a tad small now...

Not any more. They seem to have shrunk it such that it's about as bad as the atlas. I'm not even sure where exactly it is any more, but it's definitely not what the cockpit appears to be.

Left eye of the "face" IIRC that's the head hitbox for an Atlas

I stood Toe-to-toe in 2 straight matches with another atlas. Match one I blaster the left eye and JUST above it, CT hits. Round 2 I blaster right eye and JUST above it. CT hits. WTH?

I understand they don't ant t make it too easy to hit the head, but these things have NO head. Even when you arer standing still and can aim at will.
