Well considering that the Allies achieved near total air superiority over Normandy, and that only two Luftwaffe planes were spotted in the air during the duration of the battle, it would have been completely unrealistic to have planes make strafing runs or anything like that.

Omaha was so bloody because the Allies' naval gunfire failed to destroy the German defenses and because of devestatingly accurate artillary fire from guns well inland and outside the range of return fire from the naval guns. Both those factors play a role in the AA Omaha scenario.

Cheers,
