I prefer Merc 5 HUD
Maybe it is just me, but the Merc 5 HUD was cleaner and less jammed in the middle than Clan 5 is. There is too much "console" feel in the PC version imo and it shows.

I have to agree, but Clans are way more advanced and I think it was supposed to represent this. Personally I like it, because it's diffrent, but when mod come out I'll probably choose something else.

MWO > MW5: Clans > MW5: Mercs

He speaks the truth. MWO had the best HUD

Is there a way to scale the HUD?

MWO HUD is a nightmare, and Clans is better than this.

This hud COULD be good with a few tweaks.
For me the torso angle indicator seems inverted both on which arrow moves and which direction. I feel that the outer arrow should be stationary at the top and the middle arrow should be pointing where the legs are pointing. giving an indication of direction your 'mech is moving as you always know which way your cockpit is facing.

Another is move the weapon indication pips to where you can see them, MWO and MW5 have them in the centre near your reticle so you don't have to look away from your target to know when you are ready to shoot.

After a few more hours of play yesterday, I found what I don't like about the HUD:
-the target reticle is way too big: there should be a way to set this smaller like Merc 5 is
-the rotating minimap : I didn't find any settings like Merc 5 to lock it in place
-those damn useless decorative mini screens that take a lot of real estate space
-cockpit A-pillar (analogy to car's A-pillar) is directly in the field of vision which for advanced Mech design is not very optimized: we're sitting too far back me thinks

All this + the artificially induced head hobbling that pitch the cockpit left and right when walking - there is no hobbling in 3rd person, why do we even have this in 1st person?

On a 27" screen, it is like I am playing on a 12" monitor and can't really see or appreciate the landscape + it is hard to see enemies. Merc 5 is quite better for all of this.

The UI looks like one of those joke photoshops that parody modern console UIs.

100% agree with this. It reminds me of playing something like WoW with too many UI addons.

NAH MWO was waaaaaay better.

Would be bearable when the central lines wouldn´t be 5px wide and are scaled to fill the whole screen.... a lot of space obstructed for little information gain
