CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

As I have attempted to explain, I regularly fly over the South of England and, IMHO, it doesn't look much like CloD. The field colours are different, the fields usually (but not always) have dark hedges at their boundaries and the trees are darker and often occur in RoF-style small patches of woodland. If you removed the filters from WoP it would be much more like what I see in real life than does CloD. I have even posted photographs of the SW of England to show what I mean. Now, you are welcome to continue to insist that I am wrong, but if you do, it's hard to imagine that anything at all would convince you otherwise.

And I linked to a pilot who flies over Kent and thinks that the CoD colors look fine. I've seen the photographs. They are not nearly as compelling as you seem to think they are, and I have a lot of experience with aviation photography.

Selective reading indeed.
Rocket-Dog mentions the layout of the fields and the general geography of the landscape. Colour is subjective, but the layout of the SE of England is very definitive. Everything looks 'neat'; fields are bounded by hedgerows, and there aren't a load of trees which looked like they'be been randomly scattered over the landscape. Similarly, there aren't line of trees marking boundaries as there is currently in CloD. Overall, these features add up to present an image which looks fairly good graphically, but it doesn't look like Blighty.
I'd hasten to point out that RD is right in mentioning the trees colour: in CloD, trees turn a lighter green as they transist into the distance. In all pictures of England, you will see that trees look very dark, and nicely contrast the field colours.


In my opinion, these FACTS are irrefutable. It's not one person saying this: it's a lot of people.
