Most, but not all. Unless something has changed since I saw it on Russ' twitter the Atlas, at least, is already where it is supposed to be.

But how much are they being scaled?

[Cy Mitchell]

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for this. I honestly hold back on Mech purchases and leveling Mechs because of the unknown of how they will be affected by the re-scale.

You would need to dig through Russ' Twitter to find the numbers on the few he gave numbers on. The others are a mystery.

They've chose their own ideal volume for each tonnage, and they're adjusting accordingly.

Most mechs will see very, very little change.

[Impyrium]

Every 'mech is seeing a rescale, although I'd say the majority won't be rescaled enough to be noticable. The only 'mechs that won't be rescaled are the ones they're using as a base reference- the Atlas I believe is one of them.

What is a good question, however, is which 'mechs are receiving geometry changes due to awkward proportions or extreme under/over scale. We know the Catapult is one.

And the Awesome.

I imagine theyre only rescaling the absolute worst of the bunch.

The 5 we know for sure are the kit fox, nova, catapult, awesome, and quickdraw.

adder, victor, grasshopper, centurion, shadowhawk, and trebuchet also need rescaling

if they did all those id be happy

[Ex Atlas Overlord]

1) F the atlas
2) Everything else gets even harder to hit, and smaller hitboxes
3) Profit

Russ already said Grasshopper is getting, get this... larger.

[cazidin]

Nova, Catapult, Kit Fox, Black Knight, Dire Wolf, Awesome, Dragon to name a few off the top of my head.

[MechWarrior5152251]

My skinny Dire Wolf will rejoice.

[Navid A1]

Mechs like Dire wolf and Warhawk are up for even more than just mere re-scale...

[Dirty Starfish]

I hope they don't make the Centurion shorter. It just needs some diet pills so it's more like the bad *** concept art.

This can only help the Centurian and Orion.

Might wanna sit down for this one.

Compiled all Russ said on Twitter:

Locust 12% over
Crab 7% under
Nova was 13.5% over
Centurion 1.7% over
Enforcer "couple % under"
Shadow Hawk 1.4% over
Catapult 13.5% over
Quickdraw 7.5% over
Dragon 7% over
Warhawk 7% over
Dire Wolf 6.6% over

Poor Centurion is almost perfectly sized, according to their formula. Makes one question the formula, no?

Hmmmm... that seams a bit odd,.. i would of thought for sure the cent and shadow hawk would be higher on the list.. i guess they are to narrow from a side point of view. I think i would rather have them a bit thicker, and get a bigger shrink, and narrowing,,. while growing the front to back a bit.
