CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

[QUOTE=Buchon;279043]Is this summer ?, because the Battle over Britain was in summer.

Dont looks like that photo was taken in summer, the grass is not yellowed by the hot of the summer, it looks like in spring.

Just like in WOP, the England map in WOP looks like spring or autumn.

Pretty green and grass to eye-candy players instead do an historical accurate environment.[/QUOTE

This is certainly summer, probably July.

If it were anytime in spring (March, April, May) then the wheat fields would be green not yellow or gold. UK wheat harvest is August - that crop looks pretty ripe to me (camera filters etc taken into account).

Also the trees would have much sparser leaf cover of a much paler shade.

The colour of grass pastureland is affected by the rainfall and direct sunlight, not temperature - in a very dry summer it might start to go yellow in July, but in a wet, cloudy summer you might see very little discolouration. (Anyway, calling UK summers "hot" is a slight exaggeration - at least it was before GW boosted the temperatures).

One of the problems we have with getting the colours "right" is that the BoB ran from 10th July to 7th September which covers the harvest period - the countryside in a damp July would look very different to the same in the middle of an unusually clear September.
