I do think the menus is kind of meh. It doesn't feel WW2ish. It feels sort of like WoW meets Star Trek. Other than that, I'm pretty impressed by what TWI has shown us.
Is anyone else a bit disappointed?

THIS. Seriously, if it wasn't for the fact that you've made several replies to this thread, many would call you a troll simply because of all the misinformed mistakes you just mentioned.
I sincerely hope you are just trolling, because your original and follow up posts are so rife with error...I mean, there is only one word that is necessary to describe your posts: wrong. It's not even a matter of opinion, you're simply factually incorrect about everything.
Good day, sir.

At least there are a good enough amount of Forumites to refute every bogus point this guy has made.
This thread is nothing but a troll post, if the author if this thread is serious i feel sad for him. Not one single argument that you mention have any substance or make any sense at all, this is ridiculous.. just another rant.
Um...what exactly do you suppose reconnaissance planes were for, if not for reconnoitering enemy troop movements and positions?
Hahahaha! My first use of the Dislike button! 
Seriously, its fine to have an opinion, but almost everything has already been answered in articles or by the devs here on the forums

Hehe I think he would probably prefer it if after you called the plane the game was suspended for a few days while the motorcycle courier carried the exposed film from the plane to be developed and examined, and then returned with some map references so you could drop your arty into the empty field where the photographed troops were a few days earlier.
What fun that would be
From the recently released trailer and gameplay videos, what I learned about the game that disappointed me so far :
- Ugly menus.
- Every class gets a sidearm.
- Achievements.
- Morale system (useless and a console gimmick) with music (I really don't want to hear it).
- Movement seems as clunky as before.
- Animations still seems slow and delayed.
- The crouch running animation is especially hilarious.
- Gibbing is still only limited to limbs, with predetermined dislocating areas.
- Big unecessary arrow when you choose a spot for artillery.
- Free aim is always bad in a game no matter how you put it (if you have no way to disabble it). I thought Tripwire would have learned from Arma's mistakes.
- Unecessary cover system. Create good movements and you won't need one, and this one looks like it will be frustrating as hell, trying to get away from sticky walls...
- Those lame old sounds featured in the trailer (which I hope won't be in the real game).
- Zooming with every weapon. Idk if many people remembers when they said they would never fiddle with this).
- Commander mode? really? Is this BF2?
- Recon plane aka UAV from modern warfare (red dots on a WW2 map? really? worse new feature imo).
- Cap bars, which I never liked, and hoped they could find a way to get rid of.
- Still no destruction, so same tank issues as before (they didn't show anything with those mortar strikes).
- Useless graphical gimmicks, like with the sniper scope.
- Elite classes, as seen from the menu (I prefer my game to be fair for everyone?).
- Green fluorescent names over people's head (destroy immersion).
- No major graphical differences between this and the old version. It looks the same except for bloom all over the place. Almost looks like a dowgrade, as I liked the grittier version much more.
- Text updates popping up in your face to tells you who is attacking what. I really don't need a game saturated with info. Did they tell you which bombsite the bomb was planted in counter strike?
- MINIMAP!
- Big symbols for cap zones which are seen through walls. Your player base can't learn basic maps?)
- Single player mode is playing with bots with no real story?
- Bullet time travel is good, but will probably still be linked to user lag, resulting in ridiculous sightings (like a 2 seconds delay at 100 meters, making the game effectively unplayable).
- Blind firing makes smgs even more OP: it wasn't needed.
- Still feels like a paying mod overall.
On the plus side :
- Countdown mode sounds interesting.
- Tanks animations look well done
There is a thread for these kind of lists.

Seems like you weren't around when the recon planes were seen the first time in Gamescon videos. It was quite interesting lightshow regarding the burning gasoline. The problem what was mostly picked up was not the recon plane itself, but the fact a platoon HQ would have access to recon plane in such fashion and the way it initially seems to work, and based on what some TWI devs have said afterwards about it it may not seem that bad after all. It doesn't still make the system that realistic, but there's still several variables which may make or break the feature ultimately as we only know what was in the alpha.
Just for the record, I am still very skeptic about the recon planes but I am still not willing to start a witchhunt based on something that's still WIP.
