At a first glance the submerged pillars of the tower bridge look false, as water depth doesn't affect their visibility. In other words they should fade out as depth increases, instead they look homogeneously visible.

The tower should be more dirty.
The London smog of the early 1900s took it's toll on the bridge before it was cleaned shortly after the war. The soot covered stone work made the white paint at the top stand out much more than it does today. The current texture doesn't show the high tide line either. Below the tide line the bridge was much cleaner because it was not exposed to the smog as much. Finlay, the round towers at the corners stick out a little too much. The railings are, indeed modern and should not be there.  For Comparison:

We would also run up enormous mess bills: "Never, in the field of human conflict, has so much been owed by so many to so few"  Actually, bragging - 'shooting a line' was frowned upon, and you had to use understatement to explain what happened: "So there I was, going flat out in the old Hurri, diving down on a brace of Heinkels, when one of the rotten Gerry gunners put a hole in my ruddy fuel tank. Most disappointing. I gave him a squirt with the 303s as I went past, but I think I just knocked a bit of paint off. Anyway, the old girl was making unpleasant noises, and it started to get a bit warm, what with the flames licking around the rudder pedals, so I decided it was time to make a swift exit. Next think I knew, I was hanging from the brolly, watching the Hurri go down. She landed in some poor farmer's field, and left a bit of a hole. I came down with a bump, but got away with nothing but a bruised rear. Some local turned up on a horse and cart, and gave me a lift back to base. Anyway, enough of my troubles, who's round is it?"

This may be nit-picking but..... The Irvin jackets pockets are vertical on the sides, not diagonal on the front as in the illustration.HERE
The officers' cap crown is too small. The RAF sidecap has a brass RAF badge on the left front.HERE The Sergeant is wearing a Service Dress skirted jacket usually worn by officers, W.O.'s or office staff. Sergeant pilots, as well as many officer pilots generally preferred batttledress blouses I believe. HERE Shoulder flashes were worn by aircrew from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Belgium, Poland, Netherlands, France, Czechoslovakia etc, etc. but NOT England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland!

Shadows
I know nothing about what it takes to engineer a game like BoB, but I've just watched the clip of the pilot exiting a Spitfire, and the thing that impresses me most is the movement of the pilot's shadow.
You can even see it on the seat back and parachute pack as he's getting up and out, then the large shadow on the wing / fuselage is simply perfect. I kept pausing it in slo-mo over and over. Just awesome realism.

Colour footage from 1935.
Hi Oleg
Hopefully this will help - shows a lot of Thames bridges, including Tower bridge. Colour of Tower bridge is not great (from around 3:00 onwards) and from what I saw - no close ups. But, should help with the general "look" of London and Thames barges, riverside, etc. I thought Tower bridge was a dark green where painted during the war?
