It's like flying in the earliest versions of Air Warrior in some ways.

I like many things about the new terrain but it feels very cartoon-like compared to the last terrain.

The good:

Beaches
Beach obsticals
New trees with shade effects
Better water
Ack bunkers
Hedge rows

The bad:

Loss of old trees/forests
Deforestation
Colors too vibrant
Loss of terrain shading
More difficult to "hide" on the deck

Non-terrain likes:

Sherman
New ammo loadouts for the T-34

I didn't get to play too long but those were my first impressions.

I probably need to give it some time to assimilate.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I like alot of the stuff but its too green. Maybe the light settings but while flying along ridges you cant tell where the edges are and the canyon begins.

I can see where adding a stone or clay or dirt patch texture into all that green might help.

"Deforestation"
Yeah, this one bothers me a bit too.  There were times when I found myself in trouble in a Yak, I'd take it RIGHT to the deck and use the trees to cover my six.

There were also the "paths" through the forest you could fly down, below the tree tops.  A fun way to pop up on GV's unexpected.

Very clear territory now.  Seems like the terrain is a lot smoother now too?  Fewer small hills?
