small vs. big Player-Models
Hello,
maybe the questions seems stupid to the more experienced players, but here
it is:
Concerning die "hit-detection" of quake, it would seem logical that big
models (as Tank Junior) can be hit more easily than smaller models (as the
orb). Is that correct? And if yes, does the engine do anything to compensate
this (dis)advantage? (My guess is "yes" and then "no", due to my experiences
with a tiny penguin-model as a bot)
I'm just curious, I do not intend to to choose the models depending on the
answer to maximize my "advantages".
Kind regards,
Paul

Hit detection doesn't depend on the model. There's an invisible box
around the actual model that is used for hit detection, and this box is
the same size no matter which model you use.
A good explaination is here:

Of course, using models/skins that are harder to see, might be an
advantage. But I don't think most servers allow custom models or skins
anyway. And you can force your opponents to appear with a model/skin of
your choice if that makes then easier to hit for you. Use cg_forceModel
to do this.

Tydr is right, the hit box is the same size. Keep in mind, Tank Jr. is
slightly larger than the hit box though.
