CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

Look, there have been screenshots and maps posted on this very thread which show that CoD does an amazing job of simulating the countryside. It's not just my "thin arguments", it's actual side by side screenshots. No one has even attempted that for WoP. As long as no one attempts it, it's people who are arguing for WoP whose arguments are wearing thin.

If you think actual screenshots and maps are not "credible", I would like to hear your standards for credibility.

I think I made it clear that pictures have been posted showing field for field matchings in WoP (although thinking about this, I can't understand why some tiles repeat in areas...)

but yes, pictures showing this have not been posted in this topic.
But that still doesn't get past what I'm saying about the layout of the fields and the hedges and trees.
Clearly from all shots posted, this is better in WoP as it is more like England.

I think that, overall, CoD is better, but you have to understand, that areas of WoP have their merits.

They repeat because the devs are cheating. CoD does it too, but it isn't as easy to spot. And I haven't seen any WoP screenshots showing matching fields.

NO! It is not clear at all. You just said that "pictures showing this have not been posted in this topic". You can't follow that up by saying something is clear when PICTURES SHOWING THIS HAVE NOT BEEN POSTED.

What sort of merit? CoD appears to be superior in every comparable metric except bugs (and the bugs will be fixed).

Pictures showing comparisons with areas of england in WoP have not been posted in this thread.
Pictures showing the representation of vegetation compared to photos of modern-day Britain have (largely, the layout is quite similar to that of the 1940's. see here:



a modern picture: similar to the above, in many respects, and again, more similar in LAYOUT to WoP than CoD



please, read everything I write, don't be selective.

I read everything, and I haven't been selective at all.

The bottom image LAYOUT looks just like CoD. In fact, the LAYOUT in BOTH images looks like CoD. Where is the WoP image so we can compare them?

You wont see many pics of field to field comparisons in here because this is the CoD forum, why dont you pop over to the WoP forum and have a look?
Dude I still cant belive you are still here 42 pages later banging on about how shit WoP is, your argument now hinges on something you said you havent seen, so go look.

I agree Phil that WoP terrain is extremely detailed and does have the English feel way more over CoD. To be honest i think at the moment it looks more like Russia or Ukrane in the summer, with UK factories and some houses and Windmills from Holland
I also think that if CoD works for some then when its improved they will be very happy but at the moment the skies are a bit lonely because not everyone who has bought the game can run it because of the coding issues they are trying to solve.
Hopefully when they get it sorted they will look at improving the terrain model somewhat but i think our hedges are a loong way off.

I'm not talking about how shit WoP is. I removed it from my computer. I don't care how shit it is. I'm talking about how great CoD looks. The WoP fanboys don't seem to agree with me. Maybe they should head over to the WoP boards, eh?

The photographer used a circular polarizer to take that photo, so the colors are not what you would actually see with your eyes.

I think you might feel a little different if you bought CoD, one of the first things your realise when you pause the game and you can still move the camera and all the lighting and shadows still move etc is how easy it is to set up high quality screen shots, I mean you can even turn up the graphics while paused, take your screen and turn it down again.
So honestly its not that hard to focus on the bits that do look good granted, but when you play it I have to agree with philip that the terrain just doesnt feel like a country but more like a mixture of different countries, feels odd, cant really explain it.

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.
