I hope (I've no doubt it will be done in final release) some effect like reflections will be properly tuned up.
I'd like to remember that german planes in WWII were painted with standardized paints. The colors of this paints were registered as RLM# (Reichs Luftfahrt Ministerium). They had a satin finish, Ju87 recalled in first video had a splinter camouflage for upper surfaces in RLM 70 dunkelgrun and RLM 71 schwartzgrun. These paints quickly degradaded in operational service.
An interesting document, on how these colours appeared and how reflective they were, is the first link I suggest:
this video represents flight activity in jagdgruppe 77 (bf109) in early days of war, note (mainly at the end) how the paint finish reflective is (clearly satin).
The second link is a video referring to flying activity in eastern front, at 0:35 and 0:43 is showed a special care dedicated to the commander's plane.
It wasn't an ordinary duty to polish every single plane in a unit. Only on demand of a commanding officer and if they had time and manwork to spend.
(I'm referring to sole color video, above sx on page)

Third: a picture from Flying legends 2008 on the maximum amount of reflection shoud have a plane in SOW (IMAH-taste).

I agree with you... as well as I noted in my very first post of this topic that the effects are increased for the good visbility.
Simply some boys and even aged people thinking that how the museum aircraft looks after the war with new paint now and in some games - should be here in BoB. Its like to have Mustang polished up to the mirror level and put such "paintscheme" in a WWII fligth sim..
Very the same sample.
RLM colors: We use them exactly
But with the different lighting tints may change. Like in life.
