i think what you need to do, is think of people like me as the rookie with 5hrs flying experiance before put in the front line. that way we can all enjoy the game at the level we choose

Well if you enjoy the era, and enjoy the planes. You wouldn't think of it as a "study task". It would be beneficial to adding to your knowledge of the era, and the planes. So next time you go to an Airshow, and possibly see a Yak-3 by the name of White 100, you'll know that the White 100 Yak-3 is powered by an Allison rather than the original VK105-PF-2 engine. And also, you'd probably respect them more.

I don't spend all day playing the game, but I have grown an interest in many WW2 planes that most of the time get over looked? If you enjoy the planes, and such, then learning more about them doesn't hurt.
