heh...looks almost like screenshots from IL-2: Sturmovik
Right!a little, but I think IL-2 has much more authentic looking aircraftwell, mostly.
Aww c'mon...you can clearly tell that photo has been manipulated!!if Mr. Lucas ever decides to do a film of the battles in the Pacific, this period correct photo should come in handy for reference:

What are we complaining about ? I can't remember a great deal of accuracy in the older movies. I can remember Bf 108s standing in for Me 109s, Mustangs even for Me 109s, Texans for Zero's, About as good as it ever got was Texans rebuilt to resemble Zeros in Tora Tora Tora, Or the Spanish Merlin powered Hispano Ha1112's for 109's in the BOB.
As fewer warbird owners are willing to put their rare aircraft at the extra risk of a movie production, we're going to have to be satified with computer generated flight scenes. It's just seems when they can now can get things accurate if they really wanted to, but they have to jazz it up.
Yes, you got the answer in your post. If, in the older movies, they were using different planes instead of the real planes, I can understand it. There were limits. But with today´s PC possibilities, is it really such a big problem to make the movie as real as possible? No. You only have to hire the right historian who´s able to tell you which is wrong and which is corect. It would be more helpful than to pay the people who don´t have any idea about the units, insignias and historical facts.
For me it´s a manifestation of ignorance to the 15th USAAF vets at least.
