I get your reasoning, but it's still a titanosaur. In fact it should be almost identical in size and shape to a dreadnoughtus.
You can't slightly edit a Giganotosaurus and call it T-Rex.
The same happens with herrerasaurus a lot here, just slap on a new texture and call it whatever small theropod you want. The difference between diplodocoids and titanosaurs is even greater then that of the theropods we have here. I just think we should have atleast some sort of baseline accuracy when modding.
The posture is unknown, but you can certainly say it has titanosaur proportions. Diplodocus is way too slender. Not even mentioning size. Australotitan was enormous, as big as dreadnoughtus.
Anyway, this wasn't a hatespeech or anything, just my opinion.
I agree with the size ingame point, I'd forgotten how small diplodocus was but I disagree with it being a slight edit its definitely not compared to the default Diplodocus, but regardless I'll eventually move these across to JWE2 so I'll take this under consideration when I do

If anything, the JWE Dreadnughtus is probably a more unfaithful interpretation of a titanosaurian sauropod.
Dreadnoughtus (a derived Lithostrotian) and Australotitan (a Diamantinasaurian) are as closely related to each other within Titanosauria as Diplodocus is to Nigersaurus within Diplodocoidea. Expecting them to have identical bodies is as unrealistic as expecting Nigersaurus to look like Diplodocus.

Joking, good job
