There is an awful lot of player interaction during the game. In a large air-to-air combat, there can be a lot of decisions to be made by each player. After every round, both players have to decide to continue to fight or not and during the combat the player who needs to decide on which plane gets what loss or needs to be cleared through can differ too. Same thing happens during naval combat too. And even during movement phases, there can be decisions on the spot to be made by the non-phasing player... Personally, I believe that PBEM is going to be something which, if you really want to give each player the opportunity to decide for himself, is not going to go smoothly. There are some, who believe that so called "standing orders" can lift some of these things, but to be honest as of this moment I'm not convinced that will do the trick. Now, if it would become possible to switch between PBEM and Netplay, that might make things a little better. I don't know if that is going to be possible, however...
