One way to help would be to shift the legs outward on the Uziel. The current iteration of the Uziel is very ugly with its inward shifting legs, which IMO look completely unnatural.

This



is a far cry from this



or even MWLL's.



Out of all the 1st Civil War mechs, the Uziel was the one I closest to purchasing due to MW4 nostalgia. PGI, I am disappoint.

I think they shifted the feet inwards for walking animation purposes, I mean that we shifted our legs inward when we walk but they are flared outside/straight when stand for stability.

They just made the legs like that so they have easier time when animating it (walking/running).

I'm more focused on performance rather than aesthetics. The bow legs, while looking ugly, actually helps the Uzi to better navigate/clear terrain. I will suggest instead to first increase the bulkiness of its arms and legs, and then reduce its overall size to compensate.

Considering the minimalist quirks, something about internal testing must indicate that it must be pretty good.

I do agree with increasing the bulkiness of the arms and legs, especially the arms for shielding purposes.

But, PGI prides itself on its artwork. I buy mechpacks for both artwork and nostalgia reasons. To me, this kind of ugliness in such a renown mech is inexcusable.

Compared to MW4 version, this Uziel has smaller upper torso (which makes it look less menacing...and just weak) but slightly taller. The bow legs make matters worse but it isn't really the problem. So longer legs but slimmer torse = meh.
MW4 version has bulkier upper torso and also shorter and thats the look people are used to. Uziel's tradiotional profile is basically that of a hulking squatting brute so this version is none of that.

psh...
The Uziel has always been ugly. Every variation of it that I've seen reminds me of a chimp. Never understood it's popularity.

The legs are really crooked and ungainly looking, and the arms seem to have withered down to little twigs. sad day for a old favorite.
