Nothing would change.

Opposition to mods was based in experience of the total stupidity that eventually resulted out of the use of mods in older sims (pretty much destroying the games online) and recollection of how the lack of hacks and mods was one of Il2's big attractions in the early days - not some misplaced allegiance to Oleg.

In reality, most anti-modders (such as myself) have voted with their feet and simply given up playing online and do not nother to ever comment - very few are actually vocal about it in forums. These days most pro-mod posts (even by fanboys) are just ignored. Its the occasional anti-mod comment that gets attacked and devolves into a flame war.
