Looks like an effects+poly boosted IL-2 to me.
The good old IL-2 engine shines through on many occasions.
While SOW might be an optical improvement, currently I don't get the general advantage over IL-2 for real.
If SOW requires excessive hardware basics, it'll likely end up like FS X in the early years: Theoretically capable of improving the graphics a lot, but since the standard user, who could run the former version on highest detail level, has to step back nearly to the lowest level on the new version, the improvement turns into aggravation.
Just my 2 cents, other might/will/shall think different.
Best regards - Mike
