the 50 tons nova is probably shorter than the oxide now.

[DangerousOne]

Why! Why, the frack 50t Nova after rescaling is smaller than 45t Shadow Cat? Where is sence of logic?

Shorter. Not smaller. It is wider from arm to arm. The legs are thicker. It longer from front to back. Height is only one of the three dimensions.

[Dazzer]

great they scale down the clan but leave hunchback which is too big the same size. these jokers do not know what they are doing.

[Solis Obscuri]

Gotta say, the Nova was a bit too big before, but the pendulum may have swung back a little too far here. Guess we'll see.

[Gwydion Ward]

I like the new Scat and Nova.... but the change to the Hunchy has me scratching my head. Did you guys change the arms simply to give it more of a 'height' for its arm mounted weapons.. so they werent so 'low' to the ground and constantly hitting terrain?... or is there some other reason for it?

[johnyboy420]

the Nova not even that big that Rescale was need, Nova's dont have a torso, people still like its too small

did it really? try to not see the change, try to see the mech itself, do you think the CT on a mech with this size is hard to hit? or the CT form the side? it's still a big target. And it hardly hchanged in wideness it was extremely easy to hit the component you wan't and people with proper aim will still hit those components.

Stromcrow
that Mech is far to small for its weight and firepower why has this one not been enlarged??

EPIC Fail


Ice Ferrit
„the fridge“ has pretty bad hardpoints at also bad positions, a decent speed but no JJ. This mech begs for a decrease in size to make it even remotely useful and it gets... nothing

FAIL


Shadow Cat
I can barely think of a mech that does not need a change without seeing this one in front of me. This mech suffers more from mediocre Hardpoints than from any size issues. Everything on this mech is pretty decent so no real reason for change. Changes where no changes are needed...

Minor Fail



Nova
Few Mechs needed a shrink as bad as this one but instead of just making it smaller (less tall) they shrinked it to much in all dimensions. Its now smaller than the oversized and absurdely grown IS lights... Quirk reduction is also to minor.

Minor Fail


Hunchback IIC
well no real issues with this one except obscene Firepower for a medium... changes are barely noticable.

the NVA shrinked not much in wideness and still is an easy target, seriously lern 2 aim.

and the IFR isn't badly sized, first you complain about is lights beign too buig yet youw ant to shring the IFR (a medium) even fuerter?

SCR isn't small at all, it is havig very slimish single hitboxes similar tot he blacknight which makes it hard to be hit. Now look at blakcnight vs SCR youw ant the scr beign even bigegr even if theres 20t difference between them? you really have a wiorse sense for "scale" than even PGI.

maybe look at that number below my name I can aim sufficiently. it shrinked in all dimensions instead of getting less fat and getting more slim. it has now less height that a firestarter...

Since that fridge has terrible hardpoints it is warranted to make it smaller.

maybe look hard after you type.... for its firepower and speed that crow is to small by a wide margin. maybe look at the griffin if you want to compare... oh wait IS has nothing that gets even close to the crows firepower survivability and speed at 55t...

I dont know what you mean with the size the black knight is far far bigger than the crow knight looks more like 85t.

I don't care about that number, anyone who knwos how PSR works, knows that this number houses many people without skill.

look at facts and fact is th NVA has still a lot more surface than a Firestarter

And no IFR hardpoints are not the reason to shrink sizes. Harpoints have and should not have anything to do with a mechs scale. And thats what you see to lack to understand again at the SCR, firepower is not the scaling criteria, its tonnage (which brings HP) and mechshape + of course the lore design which kinda defines the general look of a mech to what size has to be measured after taking its surface into account.

Someone somwhere in the endless amounts of rescale threads posted a chart about the surface count of the rescaled mechs, and there the NVA still ways way above the Firestarter. Soze is not what matters, surface is and how "blocky" the individual hitboxes are. And if you truly have the well aim your number should indicate, you would knew this and not even start to make such a weird NVA to FS9 comparison.

everyone listen to Fire for effect, he's tier 1 master race. we must all bow before our god, for he clearly knows best, and his word is absolute. (sarcasm)

As for myself I find the nova is actually somewhat survivable now as long as you don't overheat, it can still get mauled if you don't use cover properly, but the smaller size means there's more usable cover. The Shadowcat I find is now ideal for firing from a "hull down" position, since you've got a little less poking over ridges now.

Aaaas it did in lore... >.>

Novas are like... famously short, albeit before it was because they didn't have a torso and the legs were mounted on the arms.But its hardly an insult that firestarters are shorter. They just need some quirks.

Rescale wasn't based on which mechs are effective and which are not. It was not a balancing change, it was a change to make scaling consistant, PGI will (eventually) balance from this point, and the game will be better for it.

Crows are not that scary. They're pretty well balanced IMO, and I say that being a pilot who avoids piloting cheetahs and crows like the plague. BTW your SRM Griffens are pretty damn powerful, before the patch they were more meta than the crows were.

Bingo. Summed it up well.

Of course I considered it a bit of a bonus that the Blackhawk was even able to torso twist, and was willing to live with it being a little tall as a trade-off...

This. It is quite tiring how many people still think the re-scaling had balacing reasons, even though PGI clearly stated that that wasn't the intention.

I am not talking about skill I am talking about EXPERIENCE Tier 1 means that you have sufficiently played to understood how this game works nothing more nothing less.. you know the mechanics. Its like a black belt which is in no way a sigjn of mastery it shows that you know the basics nothing more nothing less.

and your point is? its a friggin 50t mech... the nova had to shrink but not 3Dsimple rescale down they should have made it smaller and only a little less height.

actually the combat potential is THE ONLY reason that should be a basis for a resize; in my eyes this resize is complete nonsense.

mechs need a resize because they have to much firepower meager hardpoints or broken hitboxes not because of some feverish idea to size have all mechs of equal tonnage equal surface since it conveniently ignores that a mech might be to large to hide behind terrain features and it ignores completely that up down size is vastly different than left right size, surface is so definitely NOT a comparable basis its painful especially considering that side and front surface are simply added as it seems. also geometric forms are completely ignored; a square is easier to hit than a ring of the same area or a triangle.

If you think the crow is not meta then show me a more powerful medium...

If you avoid crows and cheaters (why?) I aint sure you are qualified to give an opinion, since if you dont pilot these and surely you are not fighting these, how can you base your opinion on anything but hearsay?
