Hello Blackbird,
Thank you for your positive comments. However, it is the IL-2 fans that keep the sim alive not TD.
We are just trying to make it more interesting for you.
As for your interesting idea, I hope we don't disappoint you, but it is not on our current to do list. There are quite a few things we have as WIP and we would like to finish / release those first (including few new things for ships as well hopefully).
