If the Grasshopper was resized height wise according to that chart, or at least in relation to MW:O's sizing of the Banshee, it would look like this:



While there's certainly a difference and it seems somewhat more natural, the size difference... isn't that big. I really think we'll have to see how it handles in game.

This would be glorious

I think I'll try and get two more comparisons in today. One for targeting profile, another for leg size.

Luckily the Hopper has higher mounted arm hardpoints. It isnt going to have the same issues that the Summoner does with its high cockpit and low mounted arm hardpoints.

This mech will probably outperform the Summoner.

LMAO my post was a bit of a stab at my poor Summoner.

Someone post up a picture with the Hopper next to a Treb.

oh stop that, I have it on good authority, GOOD AUTHORITY, mind you, that the SMN has at least one halfway decent "Meta-ish" build, and thus it's OK.

Updating OP with this image. Leg calculations are done. Grasshopper might not be bad after all!

She's the MWO's catwalk model.

Ill throw my hat in one last time.

It isnt about surface area or how competitive the mech will be.

The mech is too friggin tall, it looks stupid because of it, and I wish all mechs in MWO were much leaner in general.

The hopper might have less surface area, but it still looks fat to me.

Maybe this is my old eating disorder talking.

I understand and agree, but this is the objective part of the design, not the subjective.

I dated a run away girl in high school....she would always call me for money or "hanging out" as she called it...she once got me into a car chase when her mom found her and I sitting in her car and she drove off crazily...cops eventually got her to stop...like the grasshopper I expect in the right hands she could have been "OP" but in mine was most def "UP"...true story
