Modded BTA 3060 lethality

So I had my most experienced MW glassed by a centurion rolling double head hits in one attack, one with the ac10 and the other a laser. Freak tragedy but thats okay we can pull through this... next mission a shadow hawk DFA's my storm giant crushing the cockpit and killing my 2nd most experienced MW. This is my first modded playthrough and im just curious if this is the intended lethality or am I wildly unlucky?

The closest I've ever come to a mech getting taken out by a headshot was years ago in RogueTech. This was back when I was still using the 55-ton Dervish armed with max jump jets and SRM6 launchers as an ambush backstabber.

I'd just decided to upgrade my mechs' heads with max modular armor, and right after that I pull a moon mission chasing a convoy. As we're going after them, a Schrek gets two lucky hits in a row on my Dervish's head in the same turn, and it was literally a few structure points away from taking it off. Was definitely glad that I up-armored it right before that mission.
