Actually, I believe that a fully patched up version of the original Il-2 offers the free (unpromised) bonus of an addon I-16 and the Ju-87B2 (so one does not even need to pick up 1946).
The Ju-87 was considered for the original Il-2, but no promises were made and it was decided not to include it (alongside a public announcement) prior to the the original release in 2001 (yes ten years ago Oleg speculated and then confirmed that it would not be in the initial release).
