First of all the clouds do look great and don't give me the comparison with that arcade game, making pretty clouds and making pretty clouds that impact your airplane as real objects with physical properties are two different things.
Secondly the clouds in CoD need to be optimized since right now they have an extreme impact on performance, yet you should have them turned on since they are not just a graphics option but a realism option, meaning flying through them actually affects your plane, negatively.
Thirdly, and I could be wrong on this, the period of the battle saw mostly fair weather, it was summer/late summer after all, so really nasty storms would probably be more aplicable for custom time periods such as flying in december or so. Besides aircraft on all sides were usually grounded due to bad weather throughout the war, so the only occasion when you would encounter severe weather should be a surprise storm or something like that.
