I'd bet that more than half the people flying/playing couldn't care less about the military/historic parts of the game. To them it's just use this tool to accomplish this event. Much like a battle ax works good against a slug-worm.
There is nothing wrong with adding a little "fun" to the game. I know people use to spend hours looking over, around and through new plane to find what little "easter eggs" HTC had hidden in them. Flying over a volcano was made more fun by finding beer, pizza, or sea monsters in them.
It is a game whats wrong with adding "fun" to it?
