I think I may have fundamentally misread a guide somewhere then

Tress do provide camo, just like bushes BUT how much camo they provide is dependent on how full the tree canopy is and the type of tree as well effects how much camo it provides. Generally bushes are the better choice, but if you can find the right tree(s) and knock them over you can become virtually invisible. Besides the act of knocking them over giving your position away that is....lol.
Trees work well, however I am not sure if the trunk of the tree is included in the "anything within 15m disappears". Theoretically some of the trees are 20m+ tall, so the foliage is far enough away to avoid the problem, but if the foot of the fallen tree is near your tank does it make it momentarily invisible?
There are a few maps I liberally abuse all the trees on and create eagles nests for myself. It can buy me anywhere between seconds and whole battles.
