For myself I thought it was a long time coming for a WW2 sim to have pilots of the right size and of a convincing pose, without the shrunken heads and startled, burger-eating pantomime that we are familiar with. The glint is there too towards the end of the vid. All in all the pilots looked very nice to me and looked like a natural part of the scene.
