Well, of course they can't equal il-2 1946 nor surpass because il-2 1946 is not just ONE game. It's a compilation of all the il-2 releases up until 2006 so you can't compare it. A fair comparison would be the original IL-2 Sturmovik release of 2001 if we are talking about content and features (maybe not features though). Original IL-2 only had a few flyables and a few maps. You can't compare over 6 years of combined work vs est. 1 year of work.

If you mean future expansions and theatres then the answer will also most likely be no, it won't reach the same amount of content as il-2 1946 and no wonder, considering how much more advanced and expensive game development has become the last 6-7 years. No sim developer will be able to pull that off unless they have a really, REALLY sound business plan. This time around I think the developers should be focused on quality and features rather then gimmicks and throw-away extras to succeed.
