Hey, this was posted in the CloD forum so I saw every reason for comparison. I never hated on CloD too. I compared it truthfully, and I stand by my post. If every constructive comment against CloD is viewed as hate, I think that's ridiculous. I wouldn't post on the forum for a game I hate

The terrain in this game does look a lot better to me than CloD. I would say that this and the French terrain in CloD are fairly equal, but England itself is a disaster for me. A great attempt, yes, but still rather awful. One of the earlier beta patches started a brilliant effort at overhauling the terrain, but the current patch looks nothing like England. This sim, however, shows terrain that looks realistic: the colours look natural, and the object placing seems extremely organic. Granted at very low altitude the terrain doesn't look as good, but how is that the main determinant for which is better? Most action happens at high altitude, and clearly Aerofly looks a lot better (at least to me).

CloD does tackle the terrain very well at low altitude, but as aforementioned, the organic nature of the terrain is vital to ensure it appears realistic. Tree placing in CloD is very poor: in most cases hedgerows would serve better than unrealistic lines of trees. A mix of CloD and this would be lovely.
