Good. I think it is logical under battle circumstances. Remember, we are dealing with a hex 50 meters across. A unit can actually move around in it with some room to spare.
Hard to keep that in mind when a unit fills the hex. Though it may fill the hex, that is for our convenience and eyesight, but the size of the hex must be kept in mind.

Yes, It's easy to mentally compress the distances due to the scale differences between the infantry, armoured units and the hex itself. The infantry are scaled larger than the tanks. They have to be or they would too difficult to see. The tanks are 6 inches = 1 pixel scale so a tank like an Abrams that fills the hex really has a hull just under 8 meters long and it would take about 6 and a hlaf of them end to end to make up 50 metres.
Attached is a quick visual comparision between how big a hex would have to be for the infantry to be in approx 1:1 scale and how big a hex would have to be for the tanks to be in approx 1:1 scale
