Medium 'mechs Re-Scale Vote (Part 1)
#41
Posted 04 July 2015 - 03:18 AM
My votes:
Vindicator (45 ton mech shouldn't be that big)
Nova (a bit smaller overall given how wide it is)
Voted only 2 most standing out, but I would honestly take all the meds other than cicada and ice ferret and make them a bit smaller.

So... dear PGI, I'm kindly asking you to downscale the griffin a little bit!
Right now, It's almost the same size as the Highlander, except the head antenna.
Just take a look at the cockpit, and compare it with any other mechs. Even a car (from Crimson strait) could fit in there! I think everyone can easily realize that the Griffin is one of the most oversized unit, yet nobody cares about this fact.
Despite the result of this vote, please consider to rescale the Griffin.
Thank you.

Also for some, such as the Kit Fox, Adder and Mad Dogs issues would be helped significantly by lowering the torso, rather than the very extended legs.

Shadow Hawk does NOT need a fix.

Almost every medium mech needs to be 10-15% smaller in all axes and the Shadowhawk is certainly no exception. Right now, mediums are the same size as heavies and they need to be halfway between lights and heavies to improve their viability to be equal with the other weight classes.

The Shadowhawk is also way too tall for a medium mech but with its overall acceptance in the game I don't see it as important to fix it as I do the Treb. The same goes for the Nova which seems to be leading the pack in the pole at the moment. For all the complaints, it is still getting a lot of use in the game.
It's much more rare to see a Trebuchet then any other medium mech and that is mainly due to its size.

About the Nova.
I mean, YEAH, it's too big, but you still see them almost every match, unlike Trebuchets. The last time i saw a Trebuchet was like during the Hero event, i saw the Loup De Guerre once and that's bloody it.
They're even rarer than Quickdraws, for fricks sake.

Like most, I am very happy to know some of the more oddly sized mechs will get rescaled, but it hit me that if they scale down a couple of the medium mechs to next existing joint height they would then be too short.
I suggest a new joint height for these mediums between their current height and next existing height.
Expanded Version:
It appears that MWO reuses joint height which I assume is for rigging and animating purposes.
There seems to be a large gap between the joint height of the Hunchback(green line mediums), which most consider to be scaled correctly, and that of the Trebuchet/Kintaro(orange line mediums). Rescaling the Trebuchet/Kintaro to the joint height of the Hunchback would make them too small so I suggest adding a new height(yellow line mediums).
Since I'm already on the subject of scale, I included other mechs that, in my opinion, could be rescaled to existing joint heights. I did not include the Awesome nor the Centurion in the pic as they are wide but otherwise a good size and their joint height would not change. Hunchback and Zeus are included only as reference.
The Shadowhawk/Griffin(red line mediums) could drop to the current Trebuchet/Kintaro joint height(orange line mediums).
The Grasshopper(red line heavy/assault) could drop to the current Quickdraw/Victor joint height(orange line heavy/assault).
The Quickdraw/Victor(orange line heavy/assault) could drop to the current Catapult joint height(yellow line heavy/assault).
The Catapult(yellow line heavy/assault) could drop to the Zeus joint height(green line heavy/assault).

It is also funny to think - a lot of mechs that don't get used because they are too large are getting less votes. IMHO, the Cicada could do with work but few people pilot it and fewer see it on the battlefield so it isn't on most people's radars.
