I'm not even particularly tall compared to most men my age (21), so I would suspect the RL pic shows someone of around 6' height, while the CoD pilot is about 5'8".
I dont think height is the problem. It just looks like pilots are in too small scale overall. You can see it from this pic: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...0&d=1298644259
In real life pilot shoulders would be very close to sidewalls, in game it looks like 1/35 figure in 1/32 plane
