I agree on the chances of modding - if the AI can be adressed by modders, else modding would be limited to cosmetical changes like skins, models, visual FX, that does not improve gameplay. Also, sounds are in urgent need to be adressed (volume corresponding to range is essential, dynamic sound travelling would be desirable). And finally, pathfinding routines, and behavior/manouvering under fire: that has little to do with mission design, but is touching the issue of AI micromanagement of units - and there is need for improvements.
