Yes, I also think that the landscape in SoW should take its lead from the teletubbies.

The spitfire vid of SoW shows some nice clouds.
And it can only have gotten better.

Same goes for the scenery.

Only thing I'm hoping for is some less hard defined edges between buildings and earth.

And some grime so you escape to the clear blue skies with a sigh of relief

Teletubbies had a huge sun. You've clearly missed out on a childhood

Apart from a certain cartoony-nature, what is wrong with the cloud models in that game? The shape is certainly more realistic than SoW, and consider this the lighting is too.

Aw, and I went to all that trouble of posting pictures of real clouds without flat bottoms!
Here are some clouds from IL2.

It's a mixed bag really. It's just my opinion; SoW has the ground to have awesome clouds, but to me they just look a bit like cotton-balls.
I certainly hope SOW doesn't have clouds that look exactly those in the Condor screenshot. That said I'm also certain we will be seeing many different types of clouds some of which could look similar. Clouds shapes can be almost infinite, and the person Oleg dedicated to modeling weather and clouds has his hands full.

Il-2's flat-cloud base is partially there, yes

I'm not a BETA tester; I'm just basing my (limited) knowledge on shots shown.

Have a look at this :

Of course, I know we can't ask for the same levels of details in a combat sim (with all the other parameters to compute outside the graphical aspects), but something heading this way, at least for the color palette and the natural implantation of the elements.
