I only do it because the actual modelling of the terrain is not directly related to performance here. CloD models thousands of trees, which look like some almighty God ejaculated them over the South-East. The layout is not realitic to any real degree.
WoP is more realistic in this aspect, which is a point you seem to fail to realise.

Here we go, a rather poor WoP shot (note, not highest settings)



another, better, one:



There's a nice neat layout of trees and fields here; no hedgerows, but then what sim models those?



Nice shot of England, here.



And CLoD. Note the horribly, and unrealstically, coloured trees, and lack of dense foliage and neatly orinentated fields/trees.

I'm not bashing CloD; it has all the elements to be perfect, but it just needs a push to get it there.

Can you see where I was coming from with the 'badly painted water colour' now Philip.

I don't see anything horribly unrealistic about the CoD screenshot. It looks a LOT close to the photo than either of the WoP screenshots. The CoD colors are MUCH better, and the CoD tree layout is closer to the photo than WoP. The only problem I see with CoD is that the trees should be slightly darker. Other than that, it blows WoP away.

+1 he is very funny I mean why post that comment David it's obvious that wop landscape only looks good at a certain height and is about 1/10000 of the size of the clod map.

Only a spastic would even consider comparing them both.
