Guys even the lower LoD trees have trunks - they just happen to be realistically thin trunks. There is something of an issue with the tree textures though (I guess this will be like in RoF - stunning graphics except for the trees which look like cut-outs due to having to turn down the settings?)

It is actually very hard to assess the height of a tree from the ground. Talk to any forester and get them to show you their tools.

I (and most other people) used to be under the rather silly impression that tanks were larger than fighter aircraft. I say - go outside and compare the heights of building to the heights of trees - if your in the desert or on the plains your trees will be short - if your in a wet environment your trees will be four times higher than in a relatively dry one.

I live in a mesic (ie. not dry, but not wet) environment and one tree species (under ideal conditions) can reach 70 metres!
