This is wonderful, I think this is one of the ways to close the gap between the communities.
I think most people want mods, if implemented correctly. Everyone here's happy with the mods that were included with 4.09/4.10, they were just being called mods until absorbed in the official patches.
Imagine everyone working together to create a unified package with the least amount of bugs, solidifying IL2's name for the many years to come. This could be a great way of advertising CoD as well, if people see how dedicated and professional modding is done on this platform. It could even attract new technologies for upgrading the IL2 engine that were unknown in the past. And it's not going to harm CoD, because that's the future. If 1C embraces all the talent that currently works on IL2, for sure the talent will stay for CoD!
I can dream, can I?
