Default non metaphoric atmosphere

First, allow me to apologize for topic redundancy.

Ok, friends. I thought I'd voice an observation.

CoD's major WIP terrestrial visual flaw, I think, comes from the lack of realistic day-time atmospheric perspective.

(excessive, pretentious explanation):

The Earth's atmosphere has vast amounts of vapor and gas particles that are refracted by the sun's light waves. A byproduct of this natural phenomenon, perceived by the human eye and brain, is the color blue. This concept is referred to as "Atmospheric Perspective".

Here's a little example.


However. Currently, what I've seen in Il-2:CoD's clear day-light shots is this sort-of gray smogginess that suspends over the landscape. What makes this more striking is the excessive unfiltered vibrancy (not necessarily the color) conveyed by the Earth's surface at inappropriate distances.

Alternatively, after observing the video clips and screen-shots, I think the WIP game decidedly looks its best under dusk/dawn lighting effects. The landscape is blanketed in a soft orangey atmospheric hue.

Compare any dusk/dawn shots with daylight ones.

Any thoughts? I haven't heard much mention of this.
