Default Re: Unit Icons - size

Just a quick question: Is it possible to change the size of the unit icons in the game, like in SPWAW, where the smallest size is 'realistic'. I sometimes think the units (especially tanks), look way too big, taking up the width of an entire street for instance... Ok I know an M1 is a huge tank, but still...

Remember that there is still a scale difference between background and units.
If you look at the range figures, one hex is 50 m/yards approx. while unit scale is 1 pixel = - in. / 15 cm

Since icons are max 89 pxl long, that make, let's calculate... 44.5 ft. or 13.6 m max unit length (I have seen some but not many ).

So no wonder units look four times too big!

Cheers,
