My friend and i were interested in the possibility of it through modding. He recently asked me about it, i'm not too sure that it's possible, but i thought i'd ask for him. We'd be thankful for any help on the subject.

Like in Shogun 2? I don't think it is possible, or viable, imagine battles are not instant and that there are many things happening as both armies collide, it's just out of the scope of the game. Adding sounds and maybe a more thrilling representation would be awesome though.
Realtime would be so much work as to basically be impossible. Might as well ask them to add formula 1 racing to the game. 
But paradox could very easily change their little pop up battle summary box from the HOI/EU series into a little tactical battle decision/setup screen. Something where you set orders and then hit "ok" (like the old slitherine games). That would be cool, though it would be a a fair amount of work to set up.
