I think that'll be way too late, Luthier isn't so far ahead of others as he think.
Maybe ED applied the ground war on a more reasonable level? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81589

While I do see use for First-person-AAA, I'm not so sure about first-person-tanks.


That is a modern warfare combined forces sim which isn't the market that the COD developer is interested in, or that most WW2 simmers are interested in. Time will tell if a combined forces sim would work on the new IL-2 engine, the maps and terrain will be decent and large, but it depends on the ability of the game engine to provide the features that would attract WW2 tankers.
