Well... who is really the competition? FSX or X-Plane are not Combat Flight Sims... the only thing that comes close is the previous IL-2 '46... CFS3... well, it is older than 1946... Jane's and all the pre-IL-2 sims (Luftwaffe Commander, B-17-II, etc...) are nowhere in the same league, and they haven't been for a while. All the Warbirds and derivatives are great for Massive multi-player, but are nowhere in complexity as far as FM/AI...
So I'd say, anything beyond the current features... is better than the competition...
