Make weapon/vehicle previews proportional to each other and pretty instead of random

Why is DP-27 so much bigger than DPM? They were of the same size

Why is Jagdpanzer IV preview covered by the text?

Why are the two BF-109s randomly misaligned?

I know that DF isn’t famous for caring for design/attention to details but come on have mercy on my OCD.

Hi, I can pass it to the devs. Same goes to RD-44 too. The image is smaller. Thanks

Speaking about weapons, i think the problem is that:
a. Some weapons have bipod, and others don’t (like M1918 and M1918A2 or FG 42 and FG 42 with GL)
b. Some weapons have longer mag than others (Like PPSh-41 with 35-round mag and PPSh-41 with drum)

How it can be solved:

Make all bipods on icons in “close” state (like FG 42 with GL) or removed from the icon (because some bipods don’t have “close” state
Make bipods as attachemnts and remove them from all icons at all. Like scopes or bayonets
(That’s debatable) Remove mags as well from weapon icons

Imo n.1 is optimal, and n.2 is the best to go

About vehclies can be easier - take biggest one (like IS-2 or King tiger) and adapt all icons to its size

my biggest issue is with previsualization, most guns are either misaligned or weirdly centered to the point where looking at it just makes my mind hurt

Thanks!

Also some weapons grossly clip through hands

In this case – PPSh-2 with the female Stalingrad squad.

But to be honest “who cares” is the expected attitude from DF at this point
