Brightness / contrast & gamma ?

I am not sure why you want a dark, high-contrast game. What you are presenting is stylized and not realistic.

IMHO Colors and saturation in reality are very close visually to what CLOD is. Bonus points for the haze effects!

The colors in CLOD are perfect, I am not sure why you want a dark high-contrast game like Battlefield 3. Uhg

Really? have you stepped outside on a sunny day? or been up in an airplane on a clear day? It's very close to what CLOD is.

You need to get outside more. The world around us is not painted in different shades of grey. They made everything washed out to gain performance and cover the increasingly lower resolution textures coming out every patch.
Except for the color of a few fields and missing a little haze, the game came out with almost perfectly calibrated colors. It's been a long downhill ride since then.

They never changed the color pallet for preformance reasons that just sounds absurd.

The color is there, it looks realistic and they said they would keep it that way.

Processed is too dark for me...

since this concerns personal taste, then brightness, contrast & gamma settings MUST be implemented in il-2 CoD

In the patch notes for the last patch you can see this line:
MAIN * Drastically reworked graphic algorithms dealing with in-game color;
It was done to increase performance. The less changes in color the better it runs....of course, the looks suffer.

I'd use a setting like the 3rd pic
