Seriously, the mech is way too big. Its as big as an assault mech. Resize the damn thing please.

Oh and while your at it.....resize all the mechs. Lights and mediums are way too big and Assaults are way too small.

[NuclearPanda]

I absolutely agree with this. ShadowHawks are WAY TOO BIG. In fact, I think Atlases should be larger too.

The sizes of mechs are definitely off....

[Thaxis]

I couldn't agree more. Assaults should be much larger if lights and mediums are the sizes they are right now.

Size is ok-ish (can make it work), hardpoints are ok-ish (can make it work), but what I'm really angry about is the looks.

I'm so angry about this walking trash TV!
One can argue with numbers and hitzones and whatnot, because nothing was ever promised for those. But the look was promised. For my 40 bucks I got nothing but 3 colors and a punch in the face.

This is a deep cut in my trust PGI.

I agree the size is off, but at least it's shorter then the Treb, and doesn't suffer from Oversized CT disease...

Wow. I thought it looked a little different but, that is a huge change.

Anyone noticed that the Shadow Hawk seems to run SLOW, I have one running at 76 and it seems the Thunderbolt at 64 runs quicker.

This is all subjective (I guess) but it definitely feels that way. I run my SH (P) with an XL320 and it feels a lot less nimble/agile than my Yen Lo with an XL300. And yes: It's 5 tons heavier than the Wang, but even the 65 ton JagerMechs, which I usually equip with 250 - 280s, seem a lot more responsive than the ShadowHawk.

Same goes for the Battlemaster, BTW. I run mine with 310 - 340 engines and they all feel a lot more sluggish and less responsive than my Stalkers with 280 and 300 engines. In fact, driving a Battlemaster feels more like steering a ship.

That's due to the animation. Movement speed is accurate. But depending on the animation it can feel slower or faster.
The Victor for example feels like "running" even when only moving 60 kph. Same speed Atlas has more of a slow stompy animation, so it feels slower.

Yup.. that's what I had suspected as well. Stalkers became a lot more "bouncy" with that leg-animation change from a few patches ago.

I didn't really notice the problem till I came up to a Hunchy and immediatly thought, "Aww it's so cute! Oh wait...".
