My wolf looks like it is armed with airsoft guns.

That is all.

You do know that 99% of airsoft guns are 1:1 replicas when it comes to size of the original weapons ? Many of them even come to close to the originals weight.

All weapons are way too small compared to the size of the ship.

Compare it to the "turret size" of a real-world battleship:

The guns aren't smaller. They made the ships bigger.

The Rifter went from being 56m long to 139m long after the update. Over doubling its size. It's huge now!

I believe they did this to fix some issues with guns clipping through the model, but I think they over did it a little.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

It's the supercarrier models we wanted bigger, not frigates.

They... wait, what? I thought all they did was remove a couple of bits from the Wolf. The Rifter has nearly tripled in size now??

While we're on the subject of enlarging ships though - is it just me or is the Rupture ridiculously small for a cruiser? IIRC even the Thrasher is bigger.

And the guns on the real-world BS above are "only" 16"/~400mm. Now extrapolate what the popular 1400mm artillery gun in EVE should look like.

Caliber sizes in EVE are incredibly off. The guns on ships are way too small for their caliber; while ship sizes increase on a 1:10:60 scale, guns go from 200mm to 400mm to 800mm. I've always hated that.

It`s not the size that matter, is how you use IT!
