Smoke looking different at diferent speed. It is wider more close to the plane when the speed is small. And it is not wide for a long distance when the speed is high.
Smae with the leght of flame.
Explosions are not from samples of photoshop

They are done researching a lot of different chronicles of 1939-41 years
Same was with Il-2... Do you thing that "red" tint and form of explosions for russian AA shells are wrong there? Hmm, than you all should read german pilots recalls how they were looking - "tomaten" - color was imposible to restore from the films of that era for us... just image (and not like these that are now on shots). Howere reading some recalls and the show them real pilots we got looking it close to that type of explosions. Even the form of the explosion cloud was different for different types of shells and regions of battles during of WWII.
We currently will have such types as it was possible to recognize in the films of that time.
On the shots are not visible very short time flame explosive at the very first movement of the full air explosion animation. However it is.
