Can we preemptively add it to the resizing poll?

If a Clan wave gets the same treatment as phoenix/resistance packages there will be riots in the streets.

Don't worry! In a couple years they may get a quirk that makes them awesome for a while.

To be sure, could you do a private lobby and find that camera position to check the size against something?

Clan mechs HAVE to be bigger (wider in particular) than an IS mech of similar weight to help balance out the advantages of clan XL engines.

If they aren't then the clan mech is straight up superior to an IS mech of similar weight as the IS mech either dies to a ST loss or runs a STD engine and is either much slower or carries less arms and armor. Obviously if it were a STD engined omni like the Woodsman this would be a different matter all together.

To compare regular geo with special geo, here's screenshots of the A variants in the MechLab:

And here's a size comparison... Shadowcat vs Cicada, and Arctic Cheetah vs Firestarter.

The Shadowcat is basically a clone of the Cicada, only with actual arms.
The Arctic Cheetah, even with its missile pods, has the EXACT SAME size upper arms as the Firestarter, while being significantly smaller at the forearms. The AC has a bigger crotchplate, but the AC is slightly shorter, even with its side torsos, and has almost the exact same body build... Firestarter: You have become obsolete!

And now I've probably ruined one of PGI's planned days reveal You boys (and girls) best think up a new day!

Fixed that for you.

It won't matter for all the laservomit builds, but yeah. It's definitely the one thing that really bothers me about the Arctic Cheetah, other than the running animation.

Compare the SRM6 size for a Locust vs Arctic Cheetah. And weep.

Yea, I've seen the Trololololcust builds with mass SRM2s. It's hilarious too.

The Awesome has nice LRM racks (despite the dismay of some) as there was some care put into that (but those tiny PPC nipples are not-so-awesome).

Oh well.
