and what makes you thing those are the real colors??

Colors in pictures depend on several things such as exposure, lense type and fliters used, film/sensor used, and so on...

So just one picture is not relevant at all. Download 50 different pisc and you will see 50 different tones... none of them yet to be true.

Plus your monitor calibration...

Right. We don't even know at witch season the pictures were taken. For me some of the brownish fields look like late summer when it is clear to have darker green tones.

I find it rather ironic that the people arguing on here about the colours in England aren't even living in England LOL.

Well even some english arguing on here about the colours of the Messerschmitts I don't have to live on that island to know that the colours there aren't something special or unique.

I am colour blind green and red so imagine how I feel about the daft arguments concerning colour. As long as they are not purple.

Aircraft have a colour that can be matched,paint colour numbers etc,but the argument you make doesn't make sense.
We did have more 109's flying over here a few years ago than you had in Germany.
So by your logic the English countryside is no different to parts of Germany.I can't and wouldn't comment on that as i have never been there.
As i live in the UK i do feel that we would recognise when something doesn't quite feel like home.
Don't forget the UK is a small varied island in a short [mileage wise] distance you can go from the Downs,>Estuary's,,>flat Fen land and mountainous areas but the BoB was fought over quite a small scale area.
That needs to be made to feel and look correct.
It's NOT Spain,Holland ,Germany or France it's England.

Believe me or not, the green in england in spring is the same ordinary green as in northern Germany in spring. In april the green is brighter and fresher, in october it is darker and more greyish. I never recognized any difference when I went to Ipswich either in april or october. And I went a couple of times.

I just deleted over 12 postings in response to a negative blasting by Tanner.

Please report postings such as his. Mods are interested to keep a positive tone and dialogue in the update threads, in order to have sensible discussions with developer.

COD is close to release and we should have cranks and troublemakers seeking attention. They will post some pretty lousy stuff.

Just report them and we will deal with them.
