Short explanation for model quality:

A game doesnt render far object as detailed as closer ones. First they render them with less details, for example a tank represented as a box, then those dont even render, only the terrain.

If you want a good image about this just get on a hilltop and look far away with both settings (the game warns you need to restart for the change to take effect, but you dont need to) if there are tanks, trees adn rocks far then you will see the difference. I did it in VR training.
