I cannot speak for Andy & Don, but I have programed computers for a living and have some idea how incredibly difficult something like this would be to add to the game.

A) Would have to add a new field to the entire data base for the illumination ammo type so it could be added to the ammo loadout.
B) Obviously the illumination radius would vary, a 152mm artillery round would illuminate a much larger radius then a 60mm mortar. So code for this would have to be created/added.
C) Every existing OOB and scenario would have to be updated to add illum ammo.
D) Artificial Intelligence would have to be created/added to allow the computer to use illum ammo.

Those are just 4 complications I thought of off the top of my head. There are at least a dozen others that would have to be delt with.

As iCaMpWiThAWP said, "I would guess that it's not in the plans".
