The game could get really spammy if you turned team damage off. Everyone has grenades, the vehicles shoot big explosions, etc.
And the maps really are too small for good flying, but then, I pretty much felt that way about BF1942 as well.
I think the bottom line is if you liked BF1942, you ought to like this. Yeah, it tends to lack in overall strategy, but then, so did BF1942. You fight for control of command posts, whichever side runs out of reinforcements first will lose, that's pretty much it.
I do think BF1942 maps tended to be better laid out, though, like a better flow from one command point to the next. SWB maps tend to be pretty open when it comes from getting from one command point to another, so I think it dilutes the combat. I don't feel like there's the main paths where you get a lot of fighting in, like in BF1942.
