Planes hiding in the bushes - is it a joke?

its more like a klingon cloaking device than camouflage.

Try RoF for instance.

Trees in RoF are inferior by far. They rotate to face you as you pass.

In my experience the 109's dive low and up. If you try that in a Hurricane or Spit you lose too much e and can't get back up to him. I'm not seeing much height loss on the 109 from a 1000m dive and zoom climb at the moment.

Seriously? *couldn't find a WTF smiley*

Preformance issues, having collisions detection for all those trees would slow even powerfull systems down.
