Judging by your last comment you wouldn't mind to stick to the graphics of IL2 and only improve the physics. I don't believe that you really mean that. Furthermore, you can do as much 3D modelling as you like but if you can't see a visual improvement between the different models (SoW and A2A) you must be somewhat blind. Just look at the nose section of the 109 or the engine cowlings of the Ju88 or Wellington - lots of ugly(ish) edges.

Now don't get me wrong: I can appreciate that there is a tradeoff between graphics and physics modelling and I'm happy with the SoW 3D models that we've seen so far. I'd just be a little happier if they looked more like that A2A B17.
I only increased the polygon count to a pount where there was no gain for overall quality beyond it, just like the SoW models. It is easy to throw around with polys, but there is no real gain in the longrun to do it just because you can.

Besides, where are those ugly edges on the Bf109 cowling? I can't see any. All I can make out are rough contours due to the lack of AA.
