Think of it like if you are trying to see an extra wide film on your TV. Your TV will gives you a choice: 1. crop part of the left and the right in order to fill the whole screen (top, bottom, left, right), 2. show the full width from left to right but with two black stripes (at the top and the bottom of the screen) in order to keep the proportion right, 3. fill the screen top, bottom, right, left causing distortion to the proportions.
COD does #2 that is you see much less from top and bottom than if you would run the game on a 4:3 monitor.
IL2 on the other side will handle the three monitor view correctly, that is increase your field of view to tripple the original size without reducing your top/bottom view.

I might be a bit of a simpleton on this, so please try to bear with me. But doesn't the portion of the screen which remains visible correlate directly to the aspect ratio of the resolution your monitor(s) have?
So for the sake of an example if you have 16:10 aspect ratio with with 12 1280x800 resolution and you multiply it with three horizontally it becomes 48:10 or 4.8:1. Isn't it then natural that I get proportinally less than a guy with 4:3 screen?
Like these two screenshots,
4:3 vs
16:9.
They're not identical and 100% comparable images, but close enough.
Maybe it's easier to explain this way around: if it would work correctly in Clod what should it do with a 3840x800 resolution?
