These was no reason on earth for Maddox Games to continue development of any updates using the old game engine.
Once SOW is revealed in it's entirety IL2 will look pretty darn dated, because it is.

IIRC, KoTS and BOP are both developed from the "outdated" IL2 engine. But those games are no where near the outdated. Go play with some MODs, you'll find IL2 has a huge potential. Take the cloud size mod for example, the size of clouds is only controled by a number in a text file. It won't take much time to change it. But it improves the immersion dramatically. The texture of maps is also controled by one small text file. Just replacing some variables may bring us to a brand-new world. I can't say the new IL2 will outperform BoB. But I'm sure it is good enough to make a great deal of money in a very short time.
