It's actually rather beautiful Jim, but although it was originally being designed as a full-fledged flight sim, the realism factor was decidedly dialed down before release because it's primary audience was targeted for Xbox.
The descriptive term of it's out-of-the-box gameplay is "arcade". Still, you can see that the designers put a lot of work into the core components, with nice visuals, and some clever gameplay features, but the missions are "comic book" oriented. Many simmers worked to mod the game with help from a 'insider', and annoying things were changed, as well as opening up many "how-to's" for things like skinning, and some editing capability was enabled. If you want more incite into WOV, the core fan forum website is at SimHQ (I think you'll need to be registered to view if I recall): Main SimHQ forum board here Anyway, if you're looking to Winds of War for its' visual fidelity, it's nice in that regards.

In dogfight mode, if you have used a patch like flyby1's to remove rockets and other arcade features, it's actually great fun. Good models, some really nice touches, some rare planes included, very nice ground scenery too, one of the best from height I've seen in any sim. I believe it was started as a serious sim then got switched to be a console/arcade type game later in dev. Some serious hidden detail on objects and planes if you look, too much for a simple arcade game.
Check out the WoW movies and pics on my website James. Also there's various patches and tips on getting it to be more realistic. You could always play it in mouse mode with TrackIR but they recenely added 6DOF VE mode to it, there's a glitch when using flyby1's mod though with the guns stopping firing (tad annoying in a dogfight  ) and Naturalpoint are looking into that apparently.If you just fancy a good looking dogfight for a quick 15 mins then it's ideal after you make it as realistic as possible
