:My info comes from 343 Industries. It was going to be considered a Darter early on until a discussion involved one of their people comparing the model to a Warthog and they realized just how large a model they used and decided it was not. You may be referencing an old screenshot caption. There will be an opportunity coming up that could reference it explicitly, but it will not. I may be able to say more later. The Darter's size in Halo Wars is exactly as it was designed. It uses the Pelican's aft engines are is sized the same. I understand all too well how some things in games have exaggerated sizes. The Darter is not one of them. It was sized appropriately to the Vulture, Pelican, Shortsword, etc. I helped figure out those sizes for the Essential Visual Guide. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 15:25, 17 August 2013 (EDT)
