What do you expect from DX11? I don't see anything that would benefit Cliffs of Dover immediately. The only thing you can use right away is tesselation...but that will make the planes look very wierd. Compare these two pictures...first without and second with tesselation:

Watch for the night vision googles...see how they are much thicker with tesselation. The same would happen to the planes unless you remodel them to be ready for tesselation.

In the long run DX11 might give slightly improved performance which probably would need another overhaul of the graphics engine. Another thing might be using the GPU for physics calculations. But these two things take a lot of work...and I'm not sure if it really is worth it.
