I suppose I mostly agree with you, though, based on my day-dreams of online flying escort in either the MiG or the Sabre, or maybe even flying CAP for ground troops, or flying strike aircraft off of carriers. I just want the sim sooner rather than later!

I know what you mean but I think its a futile endeavor. Getting two planes "correct" will never happen because as far as people in general are concerned its not right according to what they read/heard/saw a chart for. And then we'll argue over which chart is more valid and the testing conditions and then we'll have the nationalistic bias comments and...it'll go on forever.
Oleg isn't an idiot...I trust him to get the data mostly right. I trust the community to call out the major inaccuracies (which is why I believe those discussions aren't totally without merit) and provide additional information to fine tune issues. But ultimately if we have the scenario where two planes are released and we "work on getting those just right"...it'll never be done.
So I'm in favour of spending similar time on the flight modeling as IL-2...BUT...with a hopefully more accurate/"easier to work with for Oleg's team" flight modeling system in the new engine and if tweaks are needed...they are. Give me more planes
I'd also like to add that NK Yak-9Ps and Po-2s would also be fantastic additions to the stable of Korea aircraft. I think it'd be great to be flying along at 170kph while a F-86 tries to down you flying at 700 kph
