Quote from the 1C IL2:CoD manual listed under the controls option menu:
Vehicle
"This set of options is a taste of things to come. At this stage it is mainly
intended for use by 3rd party content developers."
Considering that this is from the manual, I'd venture a guess that a total war sim was something 1C has had in their minds for some time. I've already stated in another topic that many were happy to see the possibilities of a more rounded War sim when tank and AA models were shown a few years ago. Many a mind speculated at the possibilities.
For myself, if it doesn't come at the expense of the flight sim, I don't care. Considiering the attempted fidelity with the planes we already possess, I'm confident the two aspects of this game won't conflict.
From the manual it seems the inclusion won't interfere with the flight sim aspect either. Time will tell.
