It looks like water!

We're so busy looking at the aircraft that we miss a lot of stuff i guess. And yes, it does look like a photo of choppy seas
Another little detail well spotted:

I think that until this is experienced in motion and for some considerable length of time to allow us to digest it (either in a high-res, promotional video going over the features in some depth or on our own PCs) we won't be able to really grasp how good it looks...there's just so much detail to overload on
On the issue of pilot size

I think you're on to something here. There's much less framing and even lack of armor glass in most of those E3s, which gives a more spacious look to it. The real life photos of early 109Es posted by others seem to give a similar impression.
To be perfectly honest with you all, i can't really decide. Sometimes and from certain angles they look a tad small, but in other screenshots they look just perfect. All in all, i'm not too worried about it and i'd rather have a bit of a smaller pilot that moves and might possibly be used to signal other players when flying online, rather than have a 100% anatomically correct one and have to choose between him clipping through the fuselage or having him as a static figure.
Finally, i'd also like to second the request for some details on multi-engined/multi-crewed aircraft. If the crew AI is good enough to make the aircraft not feel "empty" and they can be interacted with and be useful via certain commands, i'm sure i'll be spending a lot of time in heavier aircraft.
All in all, excellent progress as usual and i can't wait to fly this.
