At the end of the day, it's a solid VTOL unit capable of fairly fast troop transport, can operate from a carrier, and refuel in the air. It's even possibly getting its own armaments at some point.
As a DCS player that would love to see DCS focus on being the flight sim to do naval air power right, I can only hope we get it. Time may be an issue, but as long as ED don't get saddled with extra workload( NTTR, kickstarter type obligations), we may well see development of modules and backbone stuff pick up pace.
