Re: @Don and Andy - AFV resizing project
My understanding is that the icons were originally done to a scale of 1 px = 5" then were changed to 1 px = 6" - a lot of the earlier drawn icons were never updated (most of the german stuff!). This is why some of the modded icons are significantly smaller than the original.
I think I recall Don saying on a thread about this that he had no interest in redoing all the SdKfz 250 and 251 icons despite them now being "too big" (there are a whole bunch of modded icons which are to the smaller scale).
At the end of the day this is a game and the icons are merely a visual representation of the vehicle, etc they represent. They were never supposed to be in true scale (remember we have different ground scale, vehicle scale and infantry / cavalry / bike scale)
