Let us be honest, a great slab of the work invested into CoD involved getting the maps historically correct, the airfields historical and attempting to get the 40's feel and look historical for the period but that all turned out to be of no interest to the majority of players, or at least the majority posting on forums.
In the end it turned out what people really wanted was the ability to showoff their elite gaming skills in an online 3D flying FPS with awesome graphics and who cares about historical accuracy.
The new sim sounds like it will be awesome for showing off elite gaming skills in an online 3D flying FPS with awesome graphics without to much attention to historical detail mucking up the online game balance.
Sounds to me that people are getting exactly what they have been asking for.
