That's the problem with a lot of suggestions, not just on this thread but also one the "wish list" thread and many request threads I've seen on modding sites. Without understanding how the game is coded, fans have no way of knowing what's an easy change for the developers to made, what's "hard but doable" and what's impossible.
I take it as a given that TD's folks evaluate all those requests in light of their superior knowledge of how the game actually works. Some things, like realistic interactions between heavy bomber crews, NG-copyright content, or massive changes to how graphics work in the game, fall into the "never going to happen" category. Most fall into the "nice idea, but too much work/not something I want to do." category. A very few, ideas, however, fall into the "That's a great idea and it would be easy to implement." category, or even better, "We've been looking for a solution to that problem and you've just found it."
