Hence, UP is known as the "Blue Mod Pack".
The real issue is that even if you have data obtained by cracking IL2's code, you still don't know how the internals of the game's engine use that data.
The MK 108 is a case in point. If you look at the raw data, it has a projectile diameter of 57mm. Yet most agree that it's effectiveness in game is pretty much historical for a 30mm gun. Why? Because of the mechanics of the game engine itself. It is not as cut and dried as "gun X has a 57mm bore so it behaves like a 57mm gun".
But some folks just refuse to understand that salient point, or ignore it on purpose to advance their particular agenda.
