It's not arcade, but it isn't quite a sim yet.
I prefer good and old IL-2, the whole graphics stuff is just too dramatic to me.

I hear you, I will always perfer Il2 over WOP if I had to pick, I just can't wait for the day of Photo realism to get here, after ROF and WOP came out, Il2's GFX kind of lost the feeling for me a little. It still looks good but, the lighting just isn't doing it for me. Thats the one huge aspect of WOP I really love. The lighting and shadows just really make any game for me. You should not be able to see your flight panels perfect all the time. In real life lighting is a huge aspect of flight. It played a Big roll in all early air combat techniques. The other thing I like about WOP and ROF is the sense of speed, In both games if your buzzing the ground and zoom all the way out, the feeling of speed is spot on for the Aircraft of those times. I never get that feeling of 200 to 300 mph in Il2. I have flown 300 mph at 75 ft off the ground and it is really fast. Flying 50 off the ground in Il2 looks like 55 in my car.
I would love to have both the wind engines from ROF and WOP combined for, Il2. Wop has some of the best prop wash effects I have ever seen, and Rof's tail winds and wind in general are really good.
Il2 is the standard for Fm's and mission building, skins all that good stuff and it has given me years of Love.
I wish I could take the best of all three of these games (il2,WOP, Rof)and combine it together ! Then I would be pretty darn happy.
I just hope and pray SOW is really good.
