1C wants to make money? Surely the original P-51, B-17 and Fw-190 'financial' sense?

This makes me think that there is a little snobbery going on here, whereby the popular aircraft must not be released as who will play with us if they do that? Surely the popular aircraft are where the finances and revenue could be driven forward by 1C to create 'less' popular Theatres?

Releasing the Aircraft SDK would be financial brilliance! Surely? 3rd Party developer's make add-ons (like the Aces Expansion for IL2(although that was Maddox of-course)) and release them. 1C take a percentage of the revenue. If a pack is popular 1C make money, if not, they don't make a loss in development time, someone else does? Surely the more popular and attractive the Software looks to buy into, the more people will come aboard? Maybe the 190 vs 51 servers would be more popular..but that's because more people want to play on them rather than being 'forced' (uses term loosely) to fly aircraft they really don't want to because it's better that 1C only pander to the elite than the masses?

No I dont agree with you. Its silly. Its nice to have the eary war stuff. Im sorry you beloved P51 isnt in the game yet, just wait it will be.

Every now and then I go and check what Team Daedalos has done to improve the officially abandoned IL2. Some of the new planes they've added have been exactly these early war planes like He-123 and P-36. I think their free effort has been magnifient.
