No (only IL2 does this)
Think of it like if you are trying to see an extra wide film on your TV. Your TV will gives you a choice: 1. crop part of the left and the right in order to fill the whole screen (top, bottom, left, right), 2. show the full width from left to right but with two black stripes (at the top and the bottom of the screen) in order to keep the proportion right, 3. fill the screen top, bottom, right, left causing distortion to the proportions.
COD does #2 that is you see much less from top and bottom than if you would run the game on a 4:3 monitor.
IL2 on the other side will handle the three monitor view correctly, that is increase your field of view to tripple the original size without reducing your top/bottom view.
