That's fun
My subjective wishlist (all leading to less realism):
More freedom of movement (sharper turn angles, lower and higher min and max speed), because i want to move the joystick beyond its limits all the time. Enemies could stand resist hits to leverage diffulicty.
Larger planes, they appear really small.
Better visibility of planes vs. background (less bright reflection on water, brighter shadows... to reduce background contrast)
Levels with canyon fly through.
Better sense of hight (the plane shadow, does not help due the angles light direction - maybe drwing a dot straight below the planes on the ground)
I'm adding in special moves to enhance game play. The angle of light is definitely an issue so i will look into adding something under the plane
Shadow contrast i can improve. Make it darker.
Definitely be adding in canyons/mountains to restrict the fly zones.
Lots to do ? definitely be more arcade like.

Oh, i meant brighter shadows, not darker, so the background has less contrast. Allthough your shadows are ok as they are - just personal taste really.
But it would be very nice if the water would be more transparent and the under see terrain would shine through where it is not extremely deep. (similar to the cyan gradient around isles you already have.) Maybe some kind of green / cyan / blue noise with a bit of red for corall reefs, and a cool refraction effect coming from waves. I think this could look really yummy and less boring, and it would help with orientation too.

Still looking through doing this, need an artist to complete it. I do have visions of doing this though.
