Actually Robi, the Sturmovik is a real plane. It was a Russian ground attack plane kinda like the German Stuka or US P47. Also, it is the most awesome WWII Flight sim ive played =D Spitfire and P40M Warhawk FTW haha.

As for the topic, im guessing its just Black Coats wondering why planes arent hardly used in MoW. Ill tell you my 2 cents on this matter. Go Download Panzer Mod 1.9 I think it is and after that mod you wont want planes...The reason they are bad for this game is you have to direct control them all the while they are on board or else they just flyin a circle and wont attack anything. Also, they are practically invincible in this game b/c AA vehicles like the Wirbelwind and Russian 61K 37mm wont target them. I played a 1 v1 against my dad on that Panzer mod and I used like 3 P51s and only b/c of my lack of flying skill I didnt wreck his whole army. However, in another match we played a like 3v3 and the Russian team players used an I16 and some IL2s and absolutely owned us on the German side while we just sat pretty much defenseless getting hammered over and over and over.....So yeah, while planes are a neat idea and were in WWII they are just not scripted well into Online play. They are best suited to Sinleplayer style were you call them in and they make a off board strafing run then fly off.....
