It may simply boil down to Oleg's philosophy and life experiences. He grew up under the Soviet Union and Communist party rule, where secrets were the rule of the day. He may be applying the idea of keeping everything about his sims secret to his marketing of them. Then again, it could be greed and rather than a $20 add on to make a real Pacific sim for IL2 he would rather sell us a $50 game engine and each new theater at $20 a pop. That being said, the Il2 game engine does have limitations, primarily at high altitude where winds are not modeled. Storm of War may not have such short comings, but we will have to wait to find out. And wait, and wait, and wait, and wait...
