Ya there was a ton of CGI. Unfortunately there’s not too many flying fortresses left that are still airworthy but I agree that they should have found a way to use more practical effects. The story also felt very cramped in comparison to the first two series. Each episode was only 45ish minutes and only 9 episodes instead of 10 so it all felt very rushed to me.
BoB >The Pacific>>>>>>MOA for me. If I’m picking one to rewatch it’s band of brothers but the Pacific portrays the brutality of war in a much more impactful way.
