It seems unrealistic to simulate lots of smoke from fireplaces for a battle that was fought in the summer.

London in 1940 was very smoggy.. Industry didn't just stop because it was summer, and fireplaces were still lit... (I just asked my great uncle who lived in London in 1940 and watched the battle overhead)

Haze is visable in these shots from summer 1940.

CloD is least England looking flight sim terrain I have EVER played (and I started with SWOTLW). Even sims that only render terrain as flat green color look more like England!

Maybe they should fix collisions with the brick and mortar before they attempt the trees

And BTW, its not CoD, WOP or IL2 and not England but FSX with the right addons looks pretty realistic to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to each his own:
