well assuming similar hitboxes(assuming good hitboxes)

a Uziel(UZL) with a 300XL and Just Endo it will have the Similar Speed and Tonnage(-1Ton) as the SCR,
a Uziel(UZL) with a 275LFE and Just Endo it will have the Similar Speed(-8Kph) and Tonnage(-2.5Tons) as the SCR,
slightly less that the SCR on both accounts but we are comparing a 50Tonner vs a 55Tonner,

Except that IS 50 tonner looks as big as the Clan 55 tonner from the front, with less armor and all. It's only saving grace is the JJ. Probably should use it to poptart from long distance, cause at close to mid range, it will melt like butter.

Nevermind. Forgot about the Wolverines.

Don't worry, most of the playerbase is way ahead of you on forgetting those.

well its entire Frame is Smaller than a SCR,


Body Seems Slightly Smaller then the SCR, but Arms and Legs looking Half the SCRs Size,
it will be harder to Arm or Leg but perhaps Easy to Torso, not sure if thats a Good thing,
(im hoping that it gets some Torso Armor soon after its release to help it out)

Looking at the MechLab screenshots you can tell that the Uziel is shorter that the StormCrow. That and the fact that its arms and legs are a lot smaller/skinnier means that it is right volume sized compared to the StormCrow. I am surprised that it did not get the armor/structure quirks that are seemingly standard issue for all IS Mechs. I hope that means it tested out as being a durable Mech during in-house testing.

Are people still buying mechs based on their release quirks?

Oh PGI, may your player base never cease to surprise you.

That confirms it. Uziel's torsi look as big as that of the Crow from the front. Just pray the outer part of the torsi are actually part of the arms, or it is not gonna go well.

Players are gonna focus Uzi's torsi, not arms or legs. I'd rather have it with bulkier arms and legs with smaller overall size.

How else should we buy mechs? I dont buy them for the looks.

[Tomo Sukesada]

Perhaps the lack of Uziel quirks is due to it having superior hit boxes? One can hope...

[Aggravated Assault Mech]

Annihilator is way better than we deserve. After seeing the hardpoint geometry I was sure it would have minimal quirks since the torso hardpoints are insanely good for PPFLD ballistics.

I'm just waiting for the "yes, but". Unless we're thrown a curveball and the second ST ballistic hardpoint isn't at the top of the body, it's just down to hitboxes.
