You can do a single mission to test that.
It "kinda" does, planes do shoot at each other when passing by and try to turn back to attack, but it's not quite the cinematic dogfight one might imagine.

That said, it would be a nice touch for immersion to implement bomber formations following semi-historical routes, for example German bombers crossing English Channel during Battle of Britain or Allied bombers over North Sea in later years. Those would have to be set to non-aggresive and high altitude, so they don't abandon their mission to chase a lonely U-Boat.

Better still for immersion would be to implement realistic air raids on sub pens - high altitude formations dropping a lot of bombs all over the port from time to time - if you happen to be unlucky enough to be caught in the middle of it, it would make for unforgettable (and possibly career-ending) experience.
