Unit Proportion (Human)

[Nickfury 10]

The Arma human model seems like it is a proprtionally very (overly) tall human. It seems, especially when the figure is seated or on one knee, that the upper leg is too long in comparison to the lower leg. If you look at pics of troopers geared up in kit, (in action or at ease) they look shorter and stockier.

And I wonder If it would be possible to just scale the standard ArmA/ArmA2 figure down (without affecting any of the mods) for a future patch.

This does not include the ArmA/ArmA2 Head. It is actually fine the way it is (maybe narrow it slightly!)

Yeah, I noticed how big the men seem too. (No pun intended.)

IIRC, the men are like 6 feet (1.8m) or 6 feet 2 inches (1.88m) or something.

They are probably slimmer because slimmer characters are easier to rig, or because the Czech army wears their uniforms less baggy than American soldiers do.

i have noticed that the torsos of most of the soldiers seems to be too long compared to thier limbs

1.8m isn't that tall. Maybe you Americans are just short :P

It's average for Scandinavian countries, but it's well above average for the United States, Black or White Americans (according to wikipedia).

Odd, I always thought they were short when compared to the foliage we have to run through all the time. Though maybe that's because I'm one of those freakishly tall Americans ;)

Dinaric Alps

Netherlands

Sweden

Germany

These are average heights for young males (like you would see in the Armed Forces, I suppose).

178 so I dont know if your rest is correct

I got my numbers from wikipedia in the 'human height' article. It has a nice chart. Note also that those numbers are for young males. Germany's numbers were done by self reporting IIRC, and maybe Sweden, and the others were measurements take by someone else.

1.8 was true for ArmA1 so might be the same in AA2. I remember when NWD's bino reticle came and i was using the MIL to calculate where to aim. I used 1.80m as reference and hit spot on everytime. :) Might have changed slightly in AA2 ofcourse.

Personally, I would rather have setBMI and setHeight in next game.

I'm 200+ so they're all short to me :)
