A couple of responses from Oleg already to queries on the clouds:
"First of all we don't plan to model the mother-earth all weather effects. It is simply impossible even if to make just one total simulator of clouds with all of millions types....
We will have just several. And with them we model airflows near, under over, etc... "

Because the earlier video of SoW (the version based on the Il-2 engine) showed some clouds which IMO looked better like these (in normal light that is).

"We have more than was shown in that old video.
Simply the work of artists should be added. Not now. Currently low priоrity in therms of the full project complexity."
I understand the second quote to mean that the clouds we see now are 'placeholders', and that they will be replaced by higher-quality graphic-artist created clouds closer to release date.
