No Forest Substrate Textures?

No Forest Substrate Textures

This is something present in other maps adding to the immersion and helps make forests, well, look like actual real forests. Map makers appear to be planting individual trees these days rather than sections of forests making an underlying substrate texture even all the more important.

Looking down vertically between the trees on Normandy 2.0 just looks unnatural as if the trees are planted in a well managed garden rather than a old natural forest or plantation that's been there for decades.

If possible please consider this with future development.

This, like the Syria Map is a massive improvement over other maps including the old Normandy 44 map that have the block of dark green where the trees are, it looks terrible and makes difficult spotting even more unrealistic.

I'm not asking for block forests like in Caucasus map. I'm asking for a textured/shaded forest floor in like Caucasus map to better blend the trees with the ground they are planted on, thats all.

The Normandy map trees sparsely planted on a generic grass texture and look ridiculous and don't represent the natural forests or plantations in Britain or Northern France realistically.  

That said, I'm still a huge fan of the thick canopy forests on the Caucasus map and other popular simulators, it looks real and makes spoting realistically challenging.
