CGI effects technicians: "How many P-51's do you want in this shot?"
Director: "All of them. Every P-51 ever made."

[sussysenpai]

The CGI made it look like they shot this scene in Google Earth

[Martin-]

Am I the only one seeing a downgrade in picture quality and use of CGI since the old glory days of Band of brother's and The Pacific?

[aurorathekitty]

The P51 was almost a footnote in history. Wasn't until a royal air force test pilot suggested sticking a Merlin engine in it and then it became the best plane of the war

[LaurensPP]

To anyone who is wondering about it: this is NOT how aerial combat looked, looks or will ever look.

[spacegerrit]

lol wtf. This CGI is like a cutscene from a early 2000's videogame.

[haitolawrence]

The Mustangs would not be flying inside the formations. That would be committing suicide given the anxiety of the B-17 gunners.

[chodonas]

those special effects when the bombs detonate are more like 2010

[DavidFPV]

Wtf those bomb explosions look like warthunder on mid settings 💀💀

[jte]

Why are there 675 fighters dogfighting at once in one square mile of sky?

[umurkaragoz]

Visual effect team consist of one guy called Jeff, who did the work for free in his mom's basement using his 10 year old desktop PC which could barely run CS:GO

[robertschmidt]

You would be seeing shock wave rings in those explosions.

That scene at 2:09 is like something from Battlestar Galactica. Why do CGI people always go way too far with air combat? The whole point is to make a scene seem real, not to show off CGI. After Band of Brothers this is disappointing. (Edited to tone down the language).

[aa-kr]

I like how the CG went from pretty damn good to "wait a minute" and then absolutely fell off a cliff. and they really put 3000 fighters dog fighting in like this exact point in the air.
its not that hard, but somehow directors will always find a way to fuck things up.

[BackRoadsBilly]

That CGI makes it look like that one mission in COD WWII

[zaknoten]

2:09 I’m sorry but is just a little chaotic to be realistic

[whiteknightcat]

There appear to be more P51's than bombers, and far more enemy fighters than Germany could ever have mustered by that time. I'd also take issue with the huge streams of large bombs dropping out of the bays - reminds me of the endless quiver of arrows or gun-of-infinite-bullets in movies.

[the_dudeguy]

Great costumes and set design in the bomber but holy shit it looks like the intro to revenge of the sith lol

[itorapadas]

The cgi of the Mustangs at 0:08 looked like it was copied and pasted from a single cgi plane. So I froze one frame and yes it looked like it was.

[Firesword]

Damn, I was looking forward to this series. Considering "Band of Brothers, " and "The Pacific, " did really well I was hoping for the same. Yet, this one clip makes me rethink that. Even the closest in Mustangs would still be 1, 000 feet above the bomber stream, not flying through the formation. The second he P-51's spotted enemy planes, they'd ditch the drop tanks, the P-51's started out in "Finger Four, " formation but later changed to Line Abreast. This just hurts.
