Default Re: Pershing Icon Set

Joe, there are fuel tanks hanging off the end of that vehicle that make it appear longer. And they do indeed extend the length of the Icon beyond the stated "hull length". Any source that gives hull length should NOT be including the fuel tanks ( though it wouldn't surprise me to find one that does ).

When checking 3 view drawings of the tank the width x length ratio for that vehicle from the front mud guards to the rear of the fuel tanks it comes back as 2.134. Check that Icon and it comes back 2.143. One pixel shorter makes it 2.095 and one pixel longer makes it 2.190 so 2.143 is, using the scale we are using, virtually dead on 45x21 which is what that icon is when the fuel tanks are added to the rear of the tank
