Just about all the models from the original IL2 game are showing their age. Not only are the models blocky and in some cases inaccurate, in most cases the DM are wrong as well (e.g., engines that are very likely to stop instantly if they get hit, very high chance of getting multiple control surface disabled results, poorly modeled armor plate and armor glass), and butt-ugly damage textures (notably the Bf-109 heavy damage textures which literally make the plane look like moldy Swiss cheese, although the IL2 and MiG3 damage textures aren't far behind).
Also, while I respect DT's reasons for not making changes (requirement that IL2 run on 15 year old hardware), just about all the planes in the game could benefit from a few extra polygons around the engine and wheels. Mods to improve cowling and wheel appearance really make old models such as the Ju-52 look better.
