good to also see 3D forest extending all the way to the horizon, rather then it becoming a flat 2D landscape

question: on screenshot 5 (the lower altitude dogfight) the forest seems to completely engulf the roads , this might be fine for a small country road passing through a Forrest area, but for a medium to larger size roads it isnt very realistic. will this be manually edited and fine tuned before release ?

Well you see from up above trees do indeed seem to engulf roads except in the case of highways, and all of the roads you would see in 1940 would fall in the former category. Drive down a country lane sometime and you will observe that the canopy would obscure the road from an aerial view.
