Hang on - 14 STOREYS tall?!

[Virt]

I was just reading the "Mod Info" page (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/content/view/17/39/ - it's what I do in between daily checks for more updates  ) when I noticed this statement...

"Be king of the Battlefield and pilot the Legendary 14 story (sic) tall BattleMechs Of MechWarrior"

14 storeys?    That's 140 feet, or 42 metres!   

I thought mechs are more like 10 to 15 metres in height, which is at most 50 feet, or about 5 storeys.

So is the statement in Mod Info a typo, or is this game based on new kind of hypermegamechs?

Cheers.

Its a mistake, they probably meant meters instead of Stories.

If you look at the mod info you see that they have mechs in meters, but oddly enough they have all those mechs exactly 2 meters shorter then what is shown in that link

Thank for that link, it's very helpful.

I'm actually rigging up some scenery for my Mechwarrior Dark Age Miniatures at the moment, and that's how why I'm not interested in just how big mechs are

Its true! Except we decided that wasnt epic enough. Our mechs are actually 14 miles high and fire guns huge kamehameha beams that are so powerful they destroy the world, crash the game and melt your PC into a small pile of molten metal and plastic.

Yeah Its a typo to answere your question.  We go by TRO height as shown in that grafic posted above

Yeah sorry I wrote that. It should be meters...you also gotta understand though and we've talked about this a few times is that there is nothing even close to a standardized scale for these mechs. We decided to go with the MW4, MW3 version but even then in game in either of those the mechs compared to the rest of the terrain and objects are really off.

I am pretty sure we have a post with the scale we decided on and it's in meters not storey's  

edit: Just go to mod info: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/content/view/45/70/ and you can see the heights we set.

Thanks guys.   

I'm just so totally happy that you're making this thing at all, that I'd be fine if you decided to make them garden gnome size!

LOL.
