Oleg should think of the game MAINLY in the lines of On-line Competitions because in the long run that's the only thing that will keap the title Alive like it did with IL2 series.

A focus on "online competition" requires Pay-To-Play to make up for loss of interest among offliner paying customers who are looking for a more serious miltary simulation, rather than an arcade "Joystick Competition" type of game.
Worse, Oleg's original focus on anonymous public server play killed this sim from being a larger success, as Oleg made the mistake of crippling FB/PF in attempts to "save" anonymous public server gamers from each other and their forum accusations of cheating -- leaving the paying customers to go elsewhere...until...
...The mods. Many offlines are now returning with the recent availablity of mods, and are having to upgrade their sims and purchase newer versions. That's good business.
