Please help me too let the Mad Dog look better than yet!!

I love the new legs but the screw was not re-scale and look horrible.

I think it was forgotten to re-scale the screw.


I post here a Pic - where it looks much better than today.


Please PGI - help the poor leg of the Mad Dog and the Timberwolf.


THX

PS: let me know if it look much better with smaller screw

The smaller actuator looks better.

[Aeon Veritas]

If you look at the comparison pictues you'll see that the actuator stayed the same size, but the thighs width was reduced by like one third.

Mad Dog

Spoiler

New Scale

Original Scale

Timber Wolf

Spoiler

New Scale

Original Scale

And yes, I have to agree, when the actuator was flush with the outside of the thighs it looked better.

Canonically those "screws" were always protruding from the sides so I have no problem with it.

[adamts01]

those hips don't lie

If only PGI were more consistent about things that were "canonical"..

Like the Phoenix Hawk's forearm mounted medium lasers and maybe the Quickdraws specialized ankle actuators.

...or the Hellbringer's hexagonal ERPPC barrels, and the Hellbringer and Warhammer's shoulder spotlight....

I'm just happy they kept the Huntsman's distinctive fin.

That's how a MDD's hips should look. So I'm going with no. Now ask for slimmer missile racks?. I'll be your huckleberry

Well....the Timber Wolf should also have pipecleaner arms, but I'm always open to change for the sake of appearance





Don't get me wrong though, as much as I like the shorter hips the OP proposed, If I was PGI, I wouldn't waste any time on it. It really is fine as is.

Well it's all opinions. I'm saying like like the Shakira hips.

But I'd also have taken a true 1 to 1 translation of that Mad Dog. I think the tube upper arm looks great on it, and love the meanness, since it's a lightly armored mech in lore

[jjm1]

Yes.

In another note, stop pointing flaws out. I cant unsee them.

or like the entire game lol. I'm not being bitter, I just find it funny that you used those specific examples in light of tons of things not being canonical or lore-driven.

I'm not going to bloody list out hundred of things that PGI did that don't make sense. I just pointed out a few minimal examples of a similar category, which is "visual design"

[Hit the Deck]

In this thread, all of you are right.

[Gernot von Kurzmann]

ok - i now found this pic - these must be the inspiration and the screw have the right dimension.

You hated it.

But lore demanded that it be so.

So you accept it simply because lore.

Wow.

strange abotu this picture is, thats it's fully mechanic, and missing all the myomers of the lore.
