This does make things very readable, though looks a bit unnatural when moving as fast as in your clip there. (Not a problem in-game though, as far as I recall.)

Low-hanging fog would affect the mid-ground. In theory also the far background (if the terrain is flat) but when there's mountains in the distance, they poke out over the fog and are thus only affected by the atmospheric perspective.

Yeah the transition is jarring at this speed, but none of the cameras move at this speed in the game, so the illusion holds

analog real-world effect is maybe directional scattering + different height-based atmosphere qualities. But I never get a desired result with realistic models... 🎨

also sadly real-world atmospheric effect is rarely visible this close 😢 but I feel it's a mistake to try to recreate reality. Our vision isn't objective, my camera is less sensitive than my eyes for depth :p So we need to magnify effects

This painting by Eugène Galien-Laloue is nice in this regard

I know people doing miniature and optical illusion also use that effect. Like in the Disney park, the paint toward the top of building are more faded to give the illusion the stuff are farther away than they really are.

didn't know, cool anecdote!
