I do not think flying and shooting is much harder then in IL2, really. Sure, there is CEM coming into play, but since the E4's introduiction on the german side, for example, it really is pretty much like in IL2.
The same applies to shooting. I think Cod delivers a different feeling for speed and position and thus deflection shooting and ballistics are often based on wrong "instinct" input, but once you get a feeling for that, shooting is as "easy" as in IL2. It may be even easier, really, as aircraft have many more parts that can be damaged. I hardly ever used machine guns in the original IL2, but in COD they almost became main armament.
