I never liked hacks(mods) for IL2. Before they became commonplace and accepted the online servers seemed much nicer and easier places to fly.
Installation and flying IL2 is hard enough for beginners without boggling their minds with who's mods to use and who's server to fly on.
Originally hacks(mods) were never implemented for any good reason, but selfish or immature reasons.
Someone who was not a good pilot and got tired of getting their butt kicked started hacking the sim, or someone who did not think that the official patches of the sim fit their personal wet-dream of how WWII or their favorite aircraft or gun should perform started hacking IL2, or lastly they simply did not have the patience to wait x-months for new toys to play with, it is that simple.
IL2 was created as a labor of love, hacks were created out of much less noble reasons and will always be the dark-side of the community, period.
