Because this doesn't seem like a few percent...




Also, I've got the importer working, better than ever (now that I'm selecting the right damned folder)

Hi Mcgral, could you do a comparison between the current Wolfhound and Catapult?

35 tonners were the most out-of-scale, iirc, so I would imagine that they were blown up more than a few percents. Looking at a few of the various rescale threads, it seems PGI preserved the bulk more than the height of man-walkers. We don't have fat, slightly taller lights. They are instead slightly more bulky, but much taller than previously.

I should throw some transparency in there...so you can see where the further mech stops

[Darian DelFord]

Old Jenner vs New Jenner?

Please

Yeah....I won't be driving my Wolfhounds for quite some time.

McGral can you show the New Blacknight to the New Thunderbolt?

[meteorol]

That volume though

If you're able to import these into a 3D modeling program, you should be able to get a volume measurement out of it.

I'm much more interested how closely they stuck to the volumetric approach, and how much was fudged with "gameplay" and "pragmatism."

[SmoothCriminal]

Old v new 35 tonners please. Also Jenner v locust if possible. Seems to me the 35 ton lights are now as big as mediums, which is not entirely fair...

[Agent1190]

Great post McGral.

Was wondering - anything with the Dragon (someone mentioned bulky man-walkers, and the dragon is the best example of a bulky man-walker I can think of). Wouldn't mind seeing it along side the Mad Dog. Also, Ebon Jag and Catapult (Ebon Jag with and without the top pod mounts if possible).

[Johnny Z]

Most of those those pretty good but there are a couple that look off.I would say the one that stands out the most is the Phoenix Hawk.

Locus and Atlas, because reasons.

[LT. HARDCASE]

They'll never give us the percentage by which mechs were increased, or any proof that they even truly did scale the weight classes by consistent volume. It's up to us to figure these things out.

I doubt very much that game play and pragmatism had any effect on the lights, i'm not a big light pilot ,but wow they seem rather massive.

I think someone put the decimal point in the wrong place

Locust vs Mist Lynx vs Spider plz?

Highlander IIC Pre Patch model vs New Model.

McGral, you're missing the top down view. Remember, this is a 3d game. Part of the reason that everyone is up in arms about the new Catapult is that they forget how much surface area that top of that mech has. While I hate that it is brought into the equation, because we don't shoot top down, it is part of it all.

It would be handy for completeness, and will stop any possible argument, but it's not 100% needed as we all know the shapes and can build the top elevation in our minds from the side and front

[cazidin]

Black Knight New vs Old

Black Knight vs Grasshopper

Crab vs King Crab (Just for namesake, tbh.)

Jenner New vs Old

Locust vs Kodiak (Atlas is already done)

Atlas vs Kodiak (Seems fair?)

I don't ask for much, do I?

You and I know the shapes. People that are level headed about this know the shapes and understand it. What % of the community does that make up? I'm ok with the resizing of everything. Though, I'll admit that some of them, like the Jenner, has been hard to accept. That isn't because I think that it is too big because it isn't. It is just 4 years of seeing it as how it used to be.

PS> McGral, do the Jenner vs Cicada and any of the humanoid 35 ton mechs vs. the BJ/Phawk. I think that both of those will go a long way to helping some stubborn folks.
