The era of the DVD is already past, and eventually will be no more than a legacy device for the most part, and digital downloads already make up a huge part of pc game sales. The makers behind ROF are at least helping build a future for pc gamers which is fair and balanced, unlike many other corporations out there. I gladly buy from them, and if il2 was set up the same way I would strongly support it. How is it different from the old days when we would buy a pc game and then buy an expansion pack? Same thing, different medium.

i see whatyou mean, but i strongly disagree. My experience with rof is a few hours at demo. but my experience with il2 is vast, and i tell you, if 1946 had the plane by plane buy (forget we have 300 planes) i would have bought maybe 109's spits and Fw190. I wouldnt be able to play lots of stuff i have in the past, planes i flew once on one mission, that would never exist, becosue noone would buy a i16 with ski's, or the Rufe zero. An intire campaign of i16 and 109F4 online would be impossible in my squad, noone want to be the i16 underdog, much less pay for it.
Pheraps offline plane by plane works, and ROF small year spawn and location ( 1 front 2 year(?) )facilitates this. but il2 is know for varied scenarios, different years and all that.
