Zombie Instakill?

[fortran 246]

Just wanted to check if this is the actual current Zed behaviour now. Spawned in for the first time since 1.7.1.5 released at Black Lake, happy to see no problems with my gear, everything just as I left it, was even happy to see food / water / temp levels all perfect. Decided to take a quick trip to the NW airfield to see what was spawning & also to test the new behaviour & player sensing levels of the zombies.

Got into the control tower without any agro then found a zombie on the 2nd floor, so naturally had to take a shot to progress, no problems. Naturally first shot aggro'd a number of Zeds and they start coming in from the bottom floor, kill a couple as they walk up the stairs then head up to the top floor to check my back for any coming from the ladder. Reached the top of the metal stairway just as a zombie arrived in front of me. Was about to shoot and he swipes once....and i'm dead. No broken bones, no unconsciousness, no bleeding out. Just 12k blood down to 0 and instant death in one hit.

Not complaining although lost quite a lot of decent kit, but is this the norm now? Or did I just get glitched/unlucky somehow?

Ok well after re-spawning it appears I got de-synced or bugged, re-spawned about 10 meters away from the location of my death with the same inventory...
