But maybe they can tweak the current engine, by changing some stuff from scratch (sorry I'm not a game developper, so I don't really understand how it work)?

It's fairly "easy" to add things like modified AI parameters or new bomb release settings. Changing the engine is a major undertaking. Consider that Activision has been using the same ID Tech engine technology for Call of Duty games dating back to at least CoD 4: Modern Warfare if not earlier. They only changed the core engine as of this year's November release. That's a half dozen or more years of large team that is highly funded, deciding that a new engine switch was far too big of a task.

Now take that down to a volunteer group of enthusiasts like Team Daidalos. It's just not going to happen.

For a new engine... check out IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad and their Digital Nature engine which they built over several years for Rise of Flight.
