exactly !!
and obviously you will only see that level of detail when you are close enough to a few specific objects in your nearby visual field, and that is when it is important for immersion/quality that the objects look good enough to match the rest of the game. when you are seeing the closest LoD models in all their glory, yes it is important how detailed they look
when you are flying 1000 or 5000 meters over those same objects your pc only processes the distant low cpu/gpu LoD models which have very little or no detail and are just a generic shape, and it makes absolutely no difference to your pc how pretty they might look from 20 meters away
its a bit weirdo that some new visitors here now start to complain some of the ground/sea objects look to good ! there is a purpose to what oleg does in creating some of those detailed objects right from the start, which the old timer fan's already know, in that the game engine right from the start allows air/sea/land combat with planes, ships and ground vehicles (and for the teenagers who have trouble grasping complex idea's, no that doesnt mean a first person shooter !). neither does it mean that those additional sea/ground combat functions will be included right from the start, those are elements that will be worked on further once the game is released (and 3e party's can get involved in further).
right now those boats/ships have to be good enough to match the general detail of the rest of the game, and they do. once the sea/ground elements of the game are developed and become available, i am sure the ships will be worked on further to match the detail of the aircraft (which if you look closely, you can see they dont right now).
if you bail out of your aircraft and land in the channel, and have one of those fishing boats steam towards you to pluck you out of the water, then they look great ! nice work oleg
