correct as is Are the pilot figures too small?

Looking at some of the preview vids and the pilot figures (from the outside) look really small compared to real life. :/

See this: I think they are ok (a little different angle), maybe a pilot is a little too low:

Yeah, i think it's the pilot that is throwing me off, def looks a little low.

So this is A. subjective because Pilots come in all shapes and sizes and b. the seat has vertical adjustment so how high or low someone sits is largely dependent on what they like and what's going on around them. I think the pilots look fine, I'm sure someone will do some digital magic and scale it out to show that I'm wrong though so there's that.

Lol

 

Normally I'd agree, but there's a noticeable difference in seemingly every picture I've seen. Not to mention, I'm guessing pilot helmets don't vary that much in physical size. The scale just looks off.

Also depends on if the pilot in the IRL photo was 5' 9''  or 6' 2''.

I hear you, but Im referring to not just the height, but the scale of the pilots in general. They just look too "small". TBH, the scale of the DCS Huey pilots is quite a ways off as well. This scale issue seems to be a thing. Lastly, for the record, my cousin was an Apache pilot and he's about 5'8" and he looked quite a bit bigger than the DCS pilot models.

i think the angles provided from the real photos looks to be from greater than the 9 oclock, also those DCS photos provided appear to be slightly below the level plane. Those combined will make the pilots looks abit lower profile/smaller.

The scale issue is pretty evident in the DCS Huey as well. I updated my post above. My Cousin was an Apache pilot as well and he's right around 5'8"/9'ish and he looks quite a bit different than the current in-game models as well from a scale perspective.
