I think the team should invest in this burford holly, and replace a lot of the trees with hedgerows:

The terrain mapping tool, and SDK, should have that capablility, if they don't, they should be made to have it. The trees in COD are one of the biggest immersion killers for me. In COD many of the trees bordering roads and fields should be changed to hedgerows. As it is now flying at low level trying to navigate is very difficult. I use forest shapes, roads, and railroads to navigate. All the extra trees mask the shape of the forests and roads that make it almost impossible to navigate visually, as there are few other landmarks. Nice to see that Speedtree has a something that looks very much like a hedgerow. I'm sure the development or modders will at some point be able to replace some of the existing trees with a version of those hedgerows.
