It has been mentioned before, that trees, shrubs, etc. should be able to be destroyed. How about doing like any destroyable object in the game and creating a dead shape for destroyed trees. If a bomb hits a forest, perhaps all trees within the blas radius could appear broken in half with the upper half falling over with no leaves on the tree.
If a tank shell hits a tree, only the tree that is hit will appear to be destroyed. Down time for the clutter could be an hour.
This picture of the upcoming terrain updates would be similar to what I am talking about. All trees are undamages, except for one which was hit by a tank shell or rocket.
