My personal feeling is that Oleg and team simply bit off more than they could chew when planning for the IL2-successor. They wanted it to have everything that IL2 didn't have as well as all it did have. In effect, a top down approach to building and they ended up with it trying to do too much.
So it's not so much built for "tomorrow's computers" as merely trying to do too much. However, with it released and being steadily optimised and debugged, the fact is that PC's will continue to gain power and memory and thus will slowly catch up to the features that are currently "overoptimistic".
Taking the long view, it's going to be pretty amazing, even if the short view is a tad frustrating.
