Why?

How will this make Net Epic a better game?

Titans are Titans and super heavies are super heavies.

If you want a titan, get a titan. If you want a SHV, get a SHV.

Anyone who thinks that the models are represented to scale should try
squeezing 30 space marines into a thunder hawk... Just because Knights are
the same size as a warhound titan doesn't make the Knights titans and
neither does it make any of the super heavies mentioned below...

I expect that most soldiers have a healthy respect for main battle tanks,
but as for a truck big enough to carry three MBT's mounting a couple of
MG's... I dunno. (I'm not a soldier, but I know which I would rather
asault!)
