I especially like the small touches: like the algorithm that prevents grass and bushes from growing in roads, the ditches at the edges of roads, the new bridges and culverts, the shade under trees etc.  And it is nice that they have kept the frame rate (on my machine at least) the same or better.

Oh, and I like the addition of using the joystick to pan the commanders view in the tanks.  Nice (if a bit confusing at first as the commander doesn't pop up looking the same direction as the turret anymore).

Crap.   Is this true?  I wasn't going to fly tonight.  Now I'm going to have to fly ALL night.

I disagree.  Between the ultra-darkess and the apparently less-detailed trees, it seems to be a relatively large step backwards overall.  I'm sure the details are nice - if you can notice them.  I'm too distracted by the big picture, which is now less like reality than it was before the patch.

You prefer 2 flat panels crossed in the middle over a fully detailed tree you can not only shoot Through, but watch the branches get shot off?

Hmm, boy howdee, got me confused, but to each his own.

I don't know about that, but from a distance, at least, the trees look less like real trees than they did.  But the main problem is the darkness.
