Small Ground Targets

[Tudorp15]

I'm sorry guys.. But, I have been actively looking more and more at the ground targets with an objective mind. For days now. I am sure there are some areas that the devs did not spend as much time on as others for obvious reasons, but I just still don't see the huge descrepancy that many of you do as far as size problems. I landed next to many buildings, and they may not be perfect scale, because it is hard to tell. But, they are not grossly undersized IMHO. I gauge it by the size I think the pilot in the plane would be. I just now, landed and taxi'd right next to an AA gun station, and looking at it with the plane right next to it, it looks pretty close to the size I would expect it to be. There is a soldier standing next to the gun, and I was looking long and hard at him, and picturing how he would fit in the cockpit as a pilot. He looks to be about the size of a pilot would be next to the plane..

I am still thinking that much of the perception is the fact that other games, the targets are way oversized to make them easier to spot and hit. Many developers I would think don't want to make a game too hard, because people would get frustrated. I however prefer it to be hard, just for my own competition with myself. I like the challenge, even though I do get frustrated too at times.. I like realism, and will gladly trade that for "ease". I am just not seeing the gross undersize many are complaining about. I still think that in an aircraft, several hundred feet in the air, it is not easy to spot ground targets.. I think that is just the way it should be, and takes a very keen eye to do so.. Just as I feel it was for the pilots without electronics we have today to aid in detection..

That said. I am not an aircraft engineer, BUT, was in the Air Force for many years, and was an aircraft electricians. I worked on B-52, KC-135, and also smaller fighter jets, (F-16). I have a fair idea on a wide variety of sized aircraft, what they look like up close in comparison to a person standing next to them. I think these are not that far off of scale..


Just sayin..
