CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

Thank you!

Putting the two maps on top of each other in Photoshop, it is easy to see that this bit of land has not changed much. About one in five fields seem to be spilt relative to their modern counterparts (I would have expected a higher number). Small bits of 1945 wood are now under the plough, but not much. An industrial area has been put up east of the fjord/rivermouth, but Newport is otherwise much as in 1945. All in all not a very great change.

Updated my post above after a quick fly by in CoD - have uninstalled WoP so I can't do it in that one for comparison....

EDIT: The reason for uninstalling it is that I'm switching rig right now and had to deactivate it in preparation. I like all sims in different ways and WoP deserves the space on my secondary 1TB disk. It's always interesting to follow what they do and sponsor the few companies that at least try these days!
