Forest shapes

[rel4y]

I have been flying many hours now over Normandy and I really like the mesh and the details, but I have to say the forests sometimes have ridiculous shapes and the very worst of these are copy pasted all over the map. I noticed this on a forest I call the sperm forest.. for obvious reasons. This one is not even the worst offender shape wise, but it was the most memorable for me as I kept spotting it all over the place. Here are a few examples, took me like 2 mins scrolling around in the ME. I am sorry to say, but forests just dont look like that..

yap, I noticed too... also the edges of the dense forest formations are perfectly sharp and round which is very uncommon.

Its can be the nature of optimization. If you look at towns you can find similar patterns as well. Unique items and such can cause more work for our puters. So I am sure you could spend plenty of time finding similar things throughout. In some cases you need to suspend belief a little I think. I am seen some pretty crisp forest lines as well. I am not saying this one is based on an actual patch of forest, but I wouldnt be surprised to see similar shapes in real life as humans trim and cut their way into a forest.
