I am beginning to forget what the good fight even is....

my mech is ridiculously sized. When I go out in a medium I feel like an assault pilot. I am running and shooting down at lights and I feel stupidly larger than a mech I outweigh by 20 tons or less. The Cicada, the poor cicada...Why is it so much larger than a Jenner?

I think what the Devs keeps in mind when they scale mechs is that they observe the Surface Area, and Volume of the mechs. For say, the Dragon is smaller than the Quickdraw because its CT has been inflated and can be hit more easily if it was seen from its side. But in the process the way MWO was designed, it looks like height was thrown out the window. I mean seriously, design for some Mechs just is too radical when you look at the original sketches. Look at the Cent. It should be narrower, but if that were to happen what would happen? The Devs would probably overhaul the RT of it, take away the Armour quirk for the RA, and in the process the Mech would become smaller, and become harder to hit. But as of now MWO is largely different than the past games. they should fix this.
