I just wish there way some way they could make the relative A/C sizes more realistic. Just looks strange to see B-17's that are smaller than their escort fighters.

The tops are really very small, not many pixels to work with.
So my guess is that they try to use as much of the box that they can.

Am I right guys?

Limitation of the game design and personal choice: would rather see detail over accurate scale considering fighters would only be 2 dozen pixels across or less.

That's my thinking.

Here's an F4F accurately scaled to a B-29:

Again good job fella. When can I test these beauties.

I'd have to have a set of range finding binoculars set up on my desktop.

Erm... I am under the impression that Cathares said they'll NOT scale it...?
Ok, I am eagerly waiting for the plane top art mod... is it ready? Please, tell me we can test it...

The more I see this, the more I like it.

How can I adjust the top bitmaps to look like this?
