Default Tree branches contact - Drag or damage in Battle of Britain?

Hello all!
In Il2 series, I remember any contact with the forest trees and their branches was leading to crash.
I have seen Vietnam war documentary, where, the rotor of the Bell helicopters in low level jungle flight, cut entirely tree top branches thick as 15 centimeters - that is confirmed by pilots. So similar is tree contact with the aircrafts.
I have read memories of Ulrich Rudell, who said, that his Ju-87, diving with heavy bomb load in the dark conditions, have cut entirely with the both wings - left ant right wing, two tree tops 10 centimeter thick, and the tree tops remain hanging below the wings of the aircraft. As You see, there was no instant crash. Ulrich Rudell land his aircraft at his airfield successfuly.

The same famous pilot, Ulrich Rudell, afther short take off from one castle yard, some kind of lawn flying with Fi-156 collided with giant oak, and the poor Fi-156 remained on the top of the tree intact. Grownd crew successfuly helped to Ulrich Rudell to come down from the tree.

What do you thing?
I belive, scalable damage for the aircraft must be modeled in case of tree contact.

And one more thing - trail of broken trees if You fall in to the forest....and why not forest fire.

Oleg, please do something...

regards to all pilots!
