IMO considering performance and graphics WOP has COD firmly beat currently. Thats sad since its a console port, but on my computer it uses atleast 4 cores and is optimized very very well (ran it completely maxed out at 1920x1200 with my older 480 and never had one stutter *ever*).
WOP looses interms of cockpit ligting/quality, but it has better glass effects by far. When trailing a plane leaking oil, you get drops of it all over your windshield and if you trail in a smoke screen for awhile it blinds you, same with your own engine leaking. Also has great water effect when you enter and go through a cloud, with a variety of weather conditions in game.
That being said - COD wins out interms of view distance by far and the terrain looks better at high altitude. However at normal/low altitude WOP beats COD out, no building popup, there are tree collisions etc and the textures look significantly better because COD grass doesnt cut in until you are pretty much on the ground from what I have seen, if it was shown at more of a distance it would help hide the ugly low res textures.
I also think the sound is better (to my ear, and that doesnt mean its more accurate, just that as someone who knows very little aboout what it "should" sound like, I find WOP has better sound). Thats not counting music, which is spectacular in WOP (but then again while audiences overlap, they are not the same niche).
