You can compare the Panzer II icon (or any other German AFV) with a T-34 or a Sherman or the Matilda II and you`ll find them all scaled the same way. But in relation they are done properly, so the T-34 is approximately 6 inch for 1 pixel bigger than the Panzer II.

So it`s much easier to adapt the 10% to the majority than the other way round.

It`s true that we have different scales (infantry, vehicles, airplanes) but within the groups I don`t mind having them relatively scaled in a proper way. And it can be done by resizing roughly 10% of the vehicle icons.

If an icon is 1 or 2 pixel too small I don`t care much. But if an AFV is 25% off I do.
Resizing doesn`t take long, I`ve already done 1/4 of the work, the only question is if Don and Andy want to include these or not.
