Yeah, I am with Tree on this one.

Unless SOW has a completely accurate tree count from 1940 then I am afraid for me it will be a complete immersion killer.

To be honest the aerial combat is almost a sideshow to accurate foliage.

Cheers!

Give the guy a break! Have you noticed his nickname? He can't help but obsess about trees

Agreed.
There aren't too many trees.
The foliage is out of scale (as a WiP) which makes them look massive.
The area looks like it could be suburban, or in a small town. Lots of trees occur in these areas.

There is a foreshortening due to the use of tele-lens effect. They are certainly not so closely spaced as they appear. Likewise with the houses.

wait didnt luthier say the screen shots are done zoomed in so background objects appear zoomed in closer than they would otherwise appear, could it be were just seeing a zoomed in picture, so in normal flight they would be farther away and the reduced model detail wouldn't be as noticeable?
