Who on earth, in this day, will do all that and sell it for 15 bucks?

....And do all that in six to 12 months.

Do you even realize what your expectations are?
It would be awesome to be able to buy as complicated planes, as they are in this game, for the price they sell simple byplanes in ROF, but they can't.
WW2 planes are significantly more complicated and complex.
I think I know better than you, sir, I am working in game development industry, as lead game designer and senior producer.

An IL2 CoD model should be around 2-3 weeks of work for the exterior model, and 4-6 weeks of work for the interior with a single modeler. which mean it should cost them between 1500 and 2000 euro with the wadges from Russia for a flyable plane. 20 planes let's say 50k euro.

Selling them as an addon with 15-20 euro means you need around 3300 customers to pay for the modelers. And I'm sure they would sell it to more than 5000 customers.
