It is a great looking peace time airbase.
I will concede it is great looking...but an English airbase? with 600X100 m runways? Fighter hangars positioned on the edge of taxiways? Other hangars located in a parking loop (preventing its use)? trees and buiding on the edge of runways? 13 watchtowers in a 400 m rectangle?

Why not do it right instead? It was too expensive in pixels?

If you do something do it right or don't do it...

The scale gets more wrong the more you look at it. But WoP's terrain scale was something silly like 5:1 (miles) anyway.

They just went for the whole processed (and much copied) Saving Private Ryan feel.. somewhere between black and white and the matrix... Thanks for that Spielberg.
