Correct me if I am wrong but so far I haven't heard of anything to indicate that the engine supports deformable terrain geometry in any way.

I can't remember Oleg saying that they were bump-mapped but he did say

We don't promised deep craters. They will be but not so deep. Limits in engine grid.
For the deep craters renderings with so great size of map modelled you will need to wait 4-5 new generations of computers that to make it in flight sim visible completely in 3D, but not in 3D+2D. Crater has way more polygons that any of the complex building. And it is irregular in form.

I guess its how you interpret the comment "They will be but not so deep. Limits in engine grid".
