Much more detailed DM because of 303s

Larger packets to transmit DM info
Tens of thousands of Speedtrees
Complex ground equipment and targets needing DM info in packets
More resolved geometries needing to show damage
Therefore more detailed textures

All these things impact on all the others directly, except the Speedtrees, perhaps the biggest mistake.

Speedtree is an extremely well optimized package. 1C's implementation of the software seems to just be terrible.
