I won't be murdering anyone, but I'd be pretty disappointed if SoW BoB had as smooth a pilot's perspective as IL-2 does. The stillness of air (or lack of it) makes a huge difference to air combat with guns, and immersion.
Yes, but thats not the point. When you are flying or driving offroad your brain knows that you are being bumped around inside the vehicle and the dash in front of you is relatively stable. What the effect in the video gives is the impression of the plane being bumped around you while you sit in comfy chair unaffected thus giving a disconnected feel.

It is something that just cannot be simulated properly with just visuals. Some people like the attempt, other people find it just wrong. So a choice between the two would be good.
