I'm just going to state what is obvious from the pages of this thread - some people have an issue with the landscape and some don't. Can we all at least agree that others are entitled to their own opinions no matter how wrong we may think they are?

As there is no point continuing to argue over the same points, maybe it would be an idea to have a poll - one question 'How happy are you with current COD terrain?'. 4 possible answers -

Very happy - don't want changes
Reasonably happy - but would like to see improvements
Unhappy - Big changes needed
Very unhappy - This issue ruins the game for me

Getting some numbers on how people feel would at least give the devs an idea of how important (or not) this is to fix.

Baron and Robtek make some good points, but on the 'love it or leave it' idea, as someone who looked forward to this game for years, and who really wants to enjoy it and play it I find I am in danger of 'leaving it' (for the foreseeable future at least) because certain aspects ruin things for me atm. Please realise that most of us with genuine issues about this game's current state are not whining for the sake of it or because we enjoy it.

responding to ALi Fish - I'm with SsSsnake here too. There are quite a few il-2 maps (modded and unmodded) that I prefer to current COD. [a word of explanation to pre-empt the inevitable 'wtf' response - yes I know that COD is technically superior with better lighting, but the fact is a lot of the il-2 maps do the job of creating believable terrain better for me - they work within their limitations and manage to fade into the background without jarring the eye constantly as COD seems to for some (?) of us]
