I don't think BoS graphics look like IL2 at all. They are extremely similar to RoF and that game has made consistent strides in graphics and effects since almost the beginning.
In today's Developer Diary there is a video clip of the LaGG in the hanger. The dimpled reflections on the fuselage far out do IL2's graphics. You can clearly see them again while the plane is on the tarmac. And that's at 720p. I think the rest of the game will have similar enhancements compared to IL2. Look at BoS's lighting effects. I've not seen many, if any, of those in IL2.
I'm not sure I'll really like the landscape, but it is clearly more detailed and light reflective than anything IL2 did. It could make for some interesting snow blindness possibilities.
For it's day IL2 stood head and shoulders above the rest of the flight sim crowd. CoD is a remarkable achievement and I wish it could have gotten the attention we all desire, but the official mantle has been passed on and I have no fear that BoS will surpass it's original in looks .
THAT said: I don't think BoS will match CoD. It'll be nice but it won't be as detailed.
