I do not agree. The grass, trees and the colours used look fine to me.
Look at the grass on the 109 pictures, I absolutely like it.

The dawn patrol pictures have the long shadow of the trees together with the upcoming sun, together with the mist give a good early morning atmosphere. Well done!

Thanks for the update Oleg, its not cinematic yet but im sure you will get there.

From living in England all my life, the grass really is far too green for the hot-summer of 1940, and even then it's probably too light-green for wet-grass. It's noticeable if you've lived in the country all your life
And regarding field textures I think they ould be much higher-res to look more realistic The shadows, mist etc are wonderful. There's no doubt about that.
The grass too looks good (is it better than RoF though? I mean if a plane crash-landed in a stretch of grass, would there be flowers?) although, the grass on an airfield wouldn't be that long. But this is just cosmetic stuf that can be changed I'm sure.

An idea is to put more yellow in the grass like on this picture:
