CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

If that IS true for CoD then it certainly shouldn't be, and it isn't how collisions are typically done. The visible trees should be arranged into spatial hierarchies or groups so 95% of them can be excluded from individual collisions tests with just a few bounding box or sphere tests. You do not have to calculate the distance from every tree to every aircraft.

I'm sure the devs know all this though, they just haven't had time to implement it yet.
