Two quick things.
This isn't meant to make fun of anyone.
I stand corrected on widest CT in the game. Victor rear CT is beat by someone. That edit is at the end.

With that scale in mind though... Those cars and things we stomp around on must be like the size of one of those electric kids jeeps
This kind of proves two things... one that YueFei can't measure very well that (if he means the whole torso and even if just meaning the torso he's 0.6 meters off), and that other people don't have much of a sense of scale.
The Atlas is 17.8 meters tall in MWO according to both old and new cales, (13.6 in Battletech though fictional narrators in distress have exaggerated it to "15" and "25" meters.) and its width, as you can see for yourself, is a FUCKLOAD more than 2.4 meters.
Even so, it is one of the skinniest (100 ton) assaults in MWO.
King Crab isn't considered too slow for its width.
Also at the scale of 2.4 meters... It would look like this in terms of width.
Sadly I didn't adjust it to just the torso hitbox, but this gives you an idea of how rediculous that is. Was YueFei trying to measure just the CT? In yellow for your convenience (and this time I didn't bother lining up the grid perfectly, I just spun a copy of the front/top profiles, rotated minus 90 degrees, measured against the scale, rotated 90 degrees, and plopped in the middle to laugh.
I did it one more time for the approximate widest point of the CT hitbox, just in case if that was the screwy focus on the measurement... The CT comes out to roughly 3 meters wide and about 1.1 to 1.2 meters at the skinniest point of the CT hitbox so he may have been measuring just the CT rather than "the torso".
Note, the hitbox measurements are made by comparing the most recently available hitbox that I know of (below), and blocking in the basic idea of its widest and skinniest points with a single colored block and comparing to the scale on the left within the scale chart (you cannot go by the hitbox image itself because it is in perspective, not orthogonal and thus it is misleading.)
If there is a more recent hitbox model, please inform me.
If the Atlas's whole torso were 2.4 meters wide, though, those cars in the field would be 5 and 10 dollar remote control cars, not kids electric jeeps.
Side note:
The Atlas has one of the skinniest CTs of the 100 ton assaults.
For comparison to an 85 ton mech, the widest width of the Atlas's CT is the almost uniform width of the Battlemaster CT.
It is also exactly as wide as the Adder CT (terrifying thought).
The Atlas's widest point of the CT hitbox is as wide as most of the Dire Wolf's CT, skinnier than the Gargoyle's CT(no wonder that mech sucks balls) and is narrower than the King Crab's CT. The biggest contender for CT is the Victor's rear CT, larger than every other mech's front or rear hitbox in the game.
Edit:
Actually widest CT (its rear side compared to any CT on any mech) title is taken away from the Victor.
That actually belongs to the
Cataphract. Victor's rear CT comes in as a close second, but the rear CT makes up for the front CT's blatant lack of width. Given the mech relies heavily on XL engines however, this is rather ******** to do. Cataphract CT is 3.2 to 3.3 (so rough guess 3.25?) meters wide, the widest CT in the game. Victor's rear CT is 3.15 to 3.2 meters wide.
