I think wha he is saying is, that they settled on 175cm for the pilot figure to make it fit every cockpit and allow for all the animations to be flawless.
And 175cm was not unusual for pilots, taller ones usually ended up as bomber/transport pilots due to the restrictive nature of the fighter cockpits.

wasnt the english pilot in the recent video posted here 1.76 cm tall ? and he was VERY cramped in the 109 cockpit and his head touched the canopy when closed
for the hurricane and spitfire this is less critical (even if the same oleg-BoB pilot figure still looks a bit to small/short) because real life pilots ( as seen in several real life photographs posted here in recent threads confirm) had more room.
still, not a reason to spend weeks/months of bug fixing time on right now imho. solve it after release
