Re: @Don and Andy - AFV resizing project
Well, I don`t regard myself as a person that usually comes up with some crazy claims and wants you and Andy to promptly fulfil these demands to my expectations.
That`s why I offered you to make a list and first point out all the icons that are imo not properly sized relatively. The images in my first post were meant to illustrate the incorrect relativ size and were not supposed to be the ultima ratio.
Also my intention to foist on you some manic icon of mine is substantially small. Maybe you have had several bad experiences but working together with someone can actually be a relief as long as it is absolutely clear who is the boss and this is you. I may be a little naiv in this aspect but yes, I want to help to improve this game. That`s why I offered you to do the resizing.
I`ve done some icons on my own and I am well aware of the work that comes along with it. Even if it would be "only" the inclusion of the icons, it`s an heck of work in ShpEd.
As for the wrong scale of my resized TK-S and T-70. Yes, you`re right but very very few AFV icons are actually based on a 1:6 scale.
The big majority of the AFV icons is based on what you called cockeyed scale (it`s 1:4 or 1:5??).
So the question is in which direction the icons should be adapted so that the relative size of the AFV`s among each other is correct. For me it was no doubt that the minority should be adapted to the majority and it`s that thought that the resized images in my first post are based upon. That`s why I`ve increased their size, so that they match the cockeyed scale.
Interestingly enough the cockeyed scale icons usually have a proper relative size among each other, so I always thought they were done deliberately.
But maybe it`s best to come up with hard data first. I will make the list and write you a PM when it`s done. Do you want the unit or the icon numbers?
Regards
Mario
