It is not the cratered 'look' which is so important....but the fact that craters will break the undercarriage of any plane trying to cross one......

I do remember ... a long time ago....one of the patches did actually extend the life of the craters....but only by a little bit....maybe from 30 secs to one minute...so there must be a variable in there somewhere..

and.....of course....craters can be filled in much quicker than new buildings can be put up
