I agree IL-2 will live a very long life but with only a small community. Most the combat flight sim community will move on to the much more emersive experience of SOW. There will be enough content in BOB SOW to keep us busy for at-least two years until further content starts appearing.
Much of it depends on how complete SOW BOB is on release. We could see constant feature updates if these features didn't make the initial release.
It will be a considerable amount of work to build future theaters of operations, but no where near the work required in the initial release, as the game engine is built, and working. I'm confident that we will see a minimum of 15 years of new content if piracy doesn't make the product unprofitable.
