Trees are fine.  Just clear away trees from the obvious approaches to the runways.

Its a no brainer  ;)

I think the trees are great but I agree with Yeager. We have these drunks sat around in the barracks doing nothing most of the time. Can we get their lazy arses out onto the approaches and cut some of the trees down?

Trees are fine.

Only 1 thing -- eather make runway longer, or (better decision) remove trees the half of runway lenght on the direction on takeoff. Should be not that difficult as far as I understand.

Keep trees but give me a chain-saw so I can clear runway before takeoff.

btw its fun to practise slalom with Lanc when trying to take off from field surrounded by trees. Imagine that situation in WW2:
Pilot: hmm little right after that tree..
co-pilot: NONONO turn left, there's a palm tree behind that one!!

Well, not REALY bogging, but yes, I suspect that in RL, trees would be cut down at the end of the runways  :)

The trouble with the palm trees
(And we're quite convinced we're right)
They are just too damn lofty
And they're hard to see at night

But we can't help our feelings
If we don't like the way they're laid
On the end of runways
And there's nowhere to ditch after a raid

So the players formed a union
And posted on the BBS
"Please remove the runway palmtrees..
They are causing quite a mess.."

Now there would be no more tree discussion
No more complaints their Lanc could not lift off
If HITech would just fix it
With a hatchet,axe and saw..

  :D

Trees are OK.

But :
1. Cut them at the end of runways.
2. Review  Tree-vehicle damage model.
In RL Panzer should make damage to tree, not vice versa.

Keep the trees.... BUT remove the trees (and hills!!!) from the end of the runways (and within airfield perimeter) as that is totally unrealistic.

LtHans, love the Rowan Spitfire type trees, very nice!

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

1.get rid of trees near the end of the runway

2.decrease the amount of trees in grassland tiles,look at the grassland outside,not alot of trees is there

3.increase the amount of trees on forest tiles,for obvious reasons

4.tanks SHOULD be able to run trees over
5.when you crash your aircraft into a tree,the tree should be taken out,and you should still die

6.when your aircraft goes thru the brances,it should maybe take out your engine(s)
