Graphics Need help with scaling

[justin]

So my game is a top down shooter, sorta except your not doing the shooting people you control are. Two weapons / vehicles in the games is a tank and aircraft carrier, should I build them the size they are or? Because for a tank I'd probably do 1pixel per inch but on a carrier?

If anyone can help let me know

Depends on your mechanics. You should go for what's fun first and then decide upon scale.

Depends a lot on what their purpose is, too. A playable aircraft carrier is one thing, an aircraft carrier that constitutes a level to explore is a completely different one.
