height testing

ok, i don't know if anybody did this, i couldn't find it anywhere
as most of you know, the speed of pd characthers is based on their height (now you now why you go so slow on SOS)
so i started to test the best guy for multi, and i did some tests with blondes, maians, etc
i saw that "special" guys have the same height all the time, and regular chars have some slight difference, for example, cass, blonde, joanna, trent, president, those suits that darksims start with, they are all the same height always. On the other hand, regular soldiers/civilians, male/female or whatever, have a difference (about 5 different heights each body, randomly chosed for sims and humans), therefore, getting different speed (that's very minimal, like 20% from blonde to maian and like 5% max from a short guy to a tall guy, from regular height, but well, its still not the same)

Turning speed goes on the opposite way of walking speed
for humans, short chars turn faster than tall chars
i tested with Cassandra, Carrington and Elvis
If cass has a turning speed of 1, carrington has about 1.2, and elvis of 1.4
For Sims, the turning speed is always the same

but then you say: oh no! i hate those tall chars, my friends can hit me easier that way!
ok, fair enough, use what char you want, based on speed, size, height of head, coolness or whatever
the meaning of the topic is if anybody can help me on Sims aim. When playing multi against Sims, they can hit you easier when you use a blonde for example, than if you used a Maian?
if anybody have any information about this, please help me

if this already have been done, please tell me where i can find the results and delete this post

Sims hit you the same amount regardless of height according to Karl. The things you brought up is why Karl plays as Mr Blonde w/ alien's head (don't know if head counts) on ch 30.

Set health to 1000%, start up a game with a PERFECT sim (I heard darks aim for the head, so there could be discrepencies) playing as a big character, all the same guns. Make sure gun isn't one you can get two of. Time how long he takes to kill you from when he first shoots. Repeat many times until an average is apparent. Repeat for a small character. See if there is a difference.

I play as Blonde with an alien head as well! Just because it looks cool! What a wild coincidence.
