Trouble is that if you turn them off, you begin to wonder why you're not playing IL2.

So you think 'hmm, that's a good idea'; you start up IL2, have a quick look, then get on hyperlobby and say, 'now this is a combat flight sim!', and 'oh look I'm getting 150 fps on perfect settings in game, with graphics card settings on full quality and water=2 (ATI), or water=4 (nvidia), and forest=4 @1920x1080, and 'goodness me, this Slovakia winter map is nice', and you have a bloody good laugh with some old mates.

Then you remember that UP has those improved landscape textures and enable them and go and have a look and say 'blimey, this doesn't look half bad actually!'.

Then you remember the little film that you made, back in the days of AAA mods, of a Spit Mk1a doing a test flight at dawn, to the tune of Elgar's Nimrod from the Enigma variations. So you watch it and think, 'wish it was as easy to do that in CoD'.

Then you go back to persevering with CoD and keep wishing that somehow things were a bit different.
