Nic, you're missing the point.
The near-whimsical manner in how you talk about it glosses over the sheer scope of the task. Imagine the suggestion of building a brand-new modern nuclear aircraft carrier for the U.S. Navy on an old structure (
with boilers) that was originally built as a seaplane tender, and that it could just be done by a bunch of hobbyists on their own spare time. As absurd as that sounds, that is akin to the sheer lopsidedness of your suggestion.
It's fine that you're so impressed by War Thunder's visuals (
though there are better options available in that regard...), but that's an entirely different game,
much more current, and with it's own structure specifically built to handle those visuals that you like so much.
IL-2's environment can indeed be improved, but overhauling it to such a degree would constitute an entirely new product (
i.e. BoS, Eagle Dynamics, etc...), and renders the idea of doing such work in IL-2 redundant.
