We have already been told that third party developers are essential if the game is going to grow like IL2, there is too much to do for the developing team to manage on their own.
If you want a Lysander, or Hudson, Hampdon or flyable Anson you will probably have to rely on third-party amateurs or professionals. The same goes for the rarer aircraft in subsequent SoW titles.
Who knows, if things work out well then the development team could concentrate on the more important programming, and future development (and the checking of flight models etc.), leaving relatively simpler model development and mundane tasks to be undertaken by third party actors.

SOW won't need third party developers to produce other addons like SOW-MED thru SOW-Pacific, but you are correct in saying rarer aircraft and maps will probably be done by third parties. Third parties will definitely make the SOW series better as long as there is strong qualitly control.
