It is a fact that due to decreased number of players and splitting of community due to the trillion mod packs led to less filled servers. This is even mathematical. I observed it over several months this decline.

The whole situation is a little more complicated. The biggest problems with unauthorised mods popping up is that the IL2 code is not secure against them. It is not made in a way that would let the vanilla version public play without
modded versions of the game flying in the same server. Because of this there is no longer a way to keep a level playing field. And that means nobody can tell if the game is fair or not. That was the actual reason why many ppl quit 1946 multiplayer.
