It would make a ton of sense to use it for water (waves), terrain and even plane models (think perfectly round engines and smooth bubble canopies with very simple meshes).

This is a very interesting concept,actually.Probably that's the reason 1C thinks DX11 as top priority.
Thanks for clarify, mate.
