Planes hiding in the bushes - is it a joke?

Why are you fighting so low? Sooner or later an enemy is going to come along with an altitude advantage and smack you down.

Leave the arcade dogfighter ace guys to turn and burn down on the deck, and go find yourself some targets at altitude.

If trees are made collidable then surely it would have to be made a server side option in the same way as the realism settings, otherwise you may start seeing planes crash into invisible objects etc. Obviously this can only happen when the performance issues have been ironed out otherwise this would exclude players with weaker machines playing online.
