I do play some of IL2:COD. It is not the same game.

Given that the original sim was designed only to simulate the Sturmovik, I think it has held up quite well over the years. Looking at the engine in that light, their choice not to include some kind of linearized compressibility correction (Prandtl-Glauert or otherwise) is justified in my opinion.

Designing a game engine is just like engineering anything else. You select the use cases you want to have, and make simplifications without worrying too much about how they affect your outside cases.
