    The timberwolf/madcat has the cockpit above the actual mech because it is part of a mod.
    The modder did not want to do any extra work for erasing the cockpit.

    This type of phenomenon is pretty prevalent in most games. You, the player are watching the action from a camera surrounded by a bounding box that handles collision.

    Aren't Mechwarrior 5 mechs also scaled incorrectly? They are all much bigger than they should be.

    • @HalIOfFamer
      @HalIOfFamer 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes. There used to be a mod that fixed the scaling but it's discontinued and even if it was relevant, only the base game mechs were scaled and all the modded ones were not. It was a dope mod tho. I home mw5 clans will have a similarly dedicated modding scene. And I hope PGI actually makes a good base game, since base mw5 mercs is 5/10 at best. With mods it goes up to 7-8/10.

      There is a mod called "Rescale to Lore Size" that actually still works, and it does modded mechs as well. Takes the Atlas from 16 meters to about 12, similar effect to other mechs, while lights stay nearly the same.

    Interesting! Fun lore fact. The cockpit " glass " is actually transparent ferro-metall. Thats why you can take a few heavy shots to the cockpit. If it were plexi... gonzo by sneezing at the cockpit. Still wish we had option in settings to enable dynamic cockpit/ glass damage. There is some, like fire in the corners if left/right torso armor is gone. Also a bit more grime around the edges. Its hard to tell if there is " glass " around the cockpit frame edges in MW5m, except when its raining. MWO even have clearer telling of the ferro-glass edges

    • @nikushim6665
      @nikushim6665 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its ferro-glass, because they have to the Scifi ferro onto everything. Its not really mentioned or described much in the old lore material. Guess the best comparison in the real world would be sapphire. But battletech is late 80's/early 90's retrofuturism after all.

    Ray, use the in-game photo and camera mode by pressing CTRL SHIFT V. Use your controller to control the camera. This avoids the cockpit thing you’re seeing because you’re using unreal engine unlocker
    Press Select on your controller to attach the camera to the mech you’re viewing. This also allows you to make cooler and more dynamic footage

      MWO headshots are harder because the hitboxes are smaller, plus it's an online game. The fake cockpits is not what you are shooting at in either game since it's only your mech that has a fake cockpit, all other cockpits are the originals.

    • @petkofuchalski9809

    Apart from the fitting, I think the sizes of the cockpits shown make way more sense than on the original models. I always thought this vulnerable part is way oversized from a technical point of view.
    Truth is in reality you'd make the sights as small as possible, maybe even add blast doors in front of the windows and run the 'Mech solely on sensors until they were knocked out. Direct visual aiming should only be a last resort. Just look ad MBTs.

    • @aircraftcarrierwo-class
      @aircraftcarrierwo-class 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Early tanks used periscopes and viewports. Perhaps your idea will feature in 'mechs later on when the inner sphere stops killing itself long enough to invent something new. Remember that 99% of the 'mechs you're using are hundreds of years old.

    • @Rhiawhyn
      @Rhiawhyn 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Reminder, the glass isn't glass in battlemechs. It's the same exact material as the armor, just transparent. Transparent and instantly goes opaque when a laser hits it. There's no need for blast shields because it is a blast shield. It's vulnerable only because of game rules otherwise it'd have the same armor as the center torso

    • @sheilaolfieway1885
      @sheilaolfieway1885 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Have you heard of the Star wars transparasteeel or Star treks transparent aluminum (which actually exist today) the windows of battlemechs are likely made of a similar material though due to needing to see through it the armor may be less thick Or seeing as how the cockpit is hard to hit manufacturers didn't consider putting a load of armor on that part to save weight.

  • @Naughty_Ram
    @Naughty_Ram 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    3D Modeler here: The reason they remove the heads of both the human body and mechs is because there is no way to keep them rendered where the player would be able to see out of them without MASSIVE levels of view obstruction. The mechs just are not correctly built to scale, or the designs they are based on where made from fantasy logic. Aka, impossible to create in a 100% immersive view while still keeping the original looks.
    It is both easier AND drastically faster to just de-render the heads and slap the camera view there. Its standard in every single game that has first person where you can see your body. If you did not de-render the heads, you would see phantom lines all over the place from the 3D geometry of the invisible mesh of the head you where looking out of. (Its call back-face culling.)

  • @ClassyNeons
    @ClassyNeons 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's funny how many games utilize forced perspective and scaling like this. Besides making development easier and giving you a better view it also emphasis the size of the mechs to make them feel bigger.

      i get the sentiment but every FPS games seperates the point of view of the camera from the in game caracter model for good reason it's nauseating there used to be this Vermintide 2 mod that i loved so mutch i just endured truw it and i did eventualy get used to it to but it still was far from being good enouf for a comercial release
      for your scaling issue you might wan't to look into this mod

    this is how games work, you render as little as possible where you don't need to render it. games don't actually simulate reality, they give the illusion of it by clever use of space, perspective, textures etc. you'd think people would understand basics like this, but I suppose a lot don't. you'd be surprised just how abstract the design was for oldschool 2D games like side scrollers for the NES for example. look into it its very interesting.

    Joking aside, I honestly like the oversized 'shell' around the true cockpit. To me, it reinforces the idea that the cockpit is surrounded by some degree of armor. It also explains why the head hitboxes are so friggin' small and particular.
