IMO this issue is a large immersion killer, and I would be quite annoyed if I saw people using trees to hide in. Obviously the effect becomes much more noticable with ground attack missions, which quite a number of people focus on.
IL2 seemed to do it alright - except for the "invisible from underneath" bit.
I don't buy the "can't do it" argument, I think it's more "can't be bothered to do it", since it seems a pretty important thing to me. The dev's can't simulate each and every eddie that occurs with turbulent air flow, but they have written some good simplified algorythms to give a practical result. I would have expected the same with trees collisions.
With individual random style trees I don't particularly care, but not with forests.
