personally i dont like the whole CGI visual effect used in so many movies these days, it always looks very artificial and easy to spot. also gives the impression the producers were to cheap or hurried to "get the real thing". no substitute for creating the right atmosphere with vintage planes,vehicles and ships, and actually have it filmed in the real physical location it is intended to represent

Unfortunately, that ideal is made very difficult by the physical changes to the landscapes over which many of the war's air battles were fought; certainly in Europe at least. Modern buildings, telecommunications towers and, most especially, modern road systems (and reduced railway lines) would make the earthly background to aerial combat quite anachronistically unreal. There is just too much new 'stuff' to ignore.
