I agree in some points.
Clod would have been much better if it didn't have the problems to start, and was a stable working game. Then the devs could have made a campaign / controllable ground vehicles / AAA, worked on the AI, gave the weather, made the graphics and sound improvements . . .
And the BOM would have had more features . . . like the ones the OP mentioned.
But they had to beta max it and start from the basics . . .
yeah right about the sandbox thing, as an excuse for a lame game, but also its a sign of laziness, in which the developers don't even care to develop a story.
And even good dev companies (bioware) that were known for epic stories and games flop major tiles with a easily winning franchise (Star Wars; a franchise that can take average games and make them slightly above average and awesome games into epic ones).
I have hopes for the Il-2 series . . . maybe keep document it, so when BOM comes out and if its successful, you can throw down those ideas when the devs are a in a position to work on additional features and launching planes instead of working the bilge and putting fires out in the engine room.

speaking of the 90's
stuff that came out, had more depth, had more heart, and it was more common to find awesome that bad, unlike today where its common to have the bad to worse, and rare for good to awesome things.
yeah not only just the devs, but freakin' all industries should take a cue from the stuff that came out in the 90's . . .
music, that was the golden era of rap n hip hop, and other genres had great music (nirvana, guns n roses . .. ), even dance / electronica / techno . . .
TV and movies (disney did actual cool animation, aladdin, mulan, etc), in living color, family matters, friends
braveheart, shawshank redemption, matrix, terminator 2, last of the mohicans, office space
import cars were awesome like the supra and prelude, integra . . .
domestic (US) cars were pretty good, they still made awesome cars like station wagons.
console games were awesome, SNES! and stuff like street fighter 2, final fantasy 7 . . . metal gear solid,
even the US military owned with battleships, tomcats, phantoms,
the economy was awesome in the 90's . . .
the internet didn't have all the ads, viruses / trojans etc, but it was alot harder to navigate though.
