The sizes are incorrect. The ACU is almost 40m tall, the GC is 137m tall. It's been in a unitdb of quite some time ago, but that one no longer exists. Dots used those values in his books though.

An error of >30% is an incredidibly rough approximation.

Oh, good.
It's been in a unitdb of quite some time ago, but that one no longer exists.

Any proofs? No? So it is.

Not my problem that supcomdb no longer exists. I've tried getting to it, but I got redirected to ads for casino websites or something more nsfw.

You can try it yourself (Mind the nsfw part). Here's the link to the ACU in the wiki: If you click the small "f" just right of the ACU image (f.s.e bit), your browser will attempt to send you to that site, but it goes wrong.

Anyway, another source: Here is the Cybran intro movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ4U3WlqPt8 The pod is more than 2m in height and the ACUs head is almost twice that size.

http://images.wikia.com/supcom/images/8/8a/ACU2.png The ACUs head fits just over 9 times on the full ACU (including spikes, which always counts, with every building's/unit's size), so we get a total size of more than 36m.

Same for the UEF ACU:
http://images.wikia.com/supcom/images/6/66/ACU1.png
The feet fits 9.25 to 11 times in the ACU, so that goes to a size of 37 to 44m, based on 4m feet (person walks in front of it).
