My point is that effort spent to cosmetic effects of airplanes is effort not spent on items that bear on the quality of the gameplay. All that is eyecandy and doesn't mean a thing. If they were Wright Fliers and dropped bombs in the right places and shot guns at you at appropriate times the gameplay is completely unaffected.
We don't have any problem with encountering the Yamato and sinking it five times in a career. It doesn't matter that all equipment is 199% reliable. It doesn't matter that the mouse is much too sensitive for the stadimeter and fine adjustments are not possible. It doesn't matter that you're standing on the bridge with a large control tower between you and the target you can somehow see through 12' of steel. How about the target you just put four torpedoes into that doesn't have a single hole in it? But that airplane you'll never see has to have the right markings and exact configuration?
It's a matter of priorities. Eye candy needs to come last. Gameplay needs to be king, even at the expense of eye candy.
