Well, theres a problem with the FOV.

The ONLY setting the perspective is visually correct is indeed around 0.39. Anything larger will give you stretching distortion at your screen edges, anything lower a squashing distortion.

So you see, you don't really have that much of an influence with the FOV, as you can move it in a range of maybe 0.2.

How do you actually change your FOV?

Command line, -fov [number] IIRC.  It isn't perfect, but it works much better than simply scaling the units.  We've had this discussion before, it isn't a model problem or a rendering problem but a feature of vanilla FS that's nearly impossible to fix.  I think the current FOV, while making everything look small, makes perfect sense as FS2 does not support a joystick hat to look around.

Stratcomm, you CAN look around using the joystick hat, but you can only switch between the views, not smoothly rotate like IL-2 or the like.
