haven't bothered with either but I have to admit the trailers left me with feelings of meh and Meh x2
I have to agree Redtail trailer looking absolutely awful for the CGI. The planes are way out of scale, wrong altitudes, wrong formations...it is way too much fantasyland Hollywood special effects and no where near enough realism to make it credible yet alone watch. Disappointed that Lucasfilms did not have the intelligence to realize these seemingly basic flaws. Hollywood is way too obssessed with with special f/x and computer graphics.
Go figure...with all the fancy CGI software and tech...they manage to botch and screw everything up. Whereas back in the 70's / 80's...when they use physical models or the real aircraft in scenes, the quality and realism was much better. All that fancy 3D software and animations are fine for Avatar, cartoons or movies for kids. But not for historical movies when they are suppose to recreate the era and try to make it feel like the real thing.
Warhorse seems like too much Hollywood as well...but Spielberg is smarter about special effects and does a better job not to overdo it. Saving Private Ryan for example he used a lot of real vehicles that were modeled to look like the real thing.

Warhorse is like Black Beauty goes to war. I left the theatre dissapointed in myself that I fell for this crap "war" movie. Its not a war movie, its a horse movie for teenage horse lovers.

In June 2009, an announcement was made that All Quiet on the Western Front will be remade.[4] The cast, crew, and director will be announced before the film's shoot in late 2012. The remake is scheduled for release sometime in 2013 with Daniel Radcliffe starring as Bäumer.
All Quiet on the western front 1979 remake is one of the best war movies ever i think.

Haven't seen any ww1 or ww2 lately but would like to recommend two titles that I really enjoyed watching.
L'ennemi intime(eng. Intimate Enemies, France, 2007)
A drama following a French platoon during Algeria's war of independence. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825248/
Go-ji-jeon(eng. The Front Line, South Korea, 2011)
A drama centered on the Korean War's final battle that will determine the border between north and south. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2007387/

Wow both of those trailers look excellent...thanks for posting.
It is a major pain to try to get independent or foreign-produced films in the U.S. The Big Hollywood studios have a lot of power and try to keep out these rivals.

Don't know about US but in the EU those films are available on amazon.co.uk and lovefilm.com. You may want to check also ebay.
Anyway, two more films that fall in the same category - foreign, lesser know to broad public but really good.
Ji jie hao(eng. Assembly, China, 2007)
A soldier fights to gain recognition for comrades who died during the Chinese Civil War. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881200/
L'armée du crime(eng. Army of Crime, France, 2009)
The poet Missak Manouchian leads a mixed bag of youngsters and immigrants in a clandestine battle against the Nazi occupation...
EDIT:
Another good one is Lebanon During the First Lebanon War in 1982, a lone tank and a paratroopers platoon are dispatched to search a hostile town.
