im talking more particular about certain mechs: especially the raven and firestarter, and ill just link the hollander page to show you why

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hollander

now THAT is a gauss rifle on a 35 tonner so i have no idea what we got here but ill fogive the raven till they update it but the firestarter in particular, if you decide on a hollander setup for whatever reason the gauss is absoloutley tiny... if your running big weapons the size should really be reflected in that visuals. (15 tons is close to half your mech yet barely bigger than a 0.5 ton Mgun).

the same goes for lasers of all kinds which use the exact same visual


in conclusion im saying those big guns should come with the true size disadvantage associated with them tbh,

I completley agree If I cant see the Gauss barrel out the side of my Raven cockpit when it gets updated I will be quite upset. It looks pathetic and tiny on the Firestarter.

Even the Machine Gun on an Atlas gives you a huge torso growth!. Its comical that they scale down. It should be the same size weapon no matter the mech.

That would be logical!

Check out AC20's on Blackjacks, like that Champion they had a while back - tiny, tiny weapon - about the size of an AC5 on a Jager. I fully understand that the same model and size will not work across the board, but it is odd to see such huge variations.
