It makes sense to bundle planes at discount yet with the occasional more than 50% off sales of RoF planes you can at times pick up 8 for $20 yet still pick and choose your bundle (get none you don't want, none you already bought) to suit your self. Given the much higher quality of the newer models and the time they take to produce, the prices are not exactly high given I spent $7 for a lunch special yesterday and how long did that last?

I was reading somewhere that the model would be a hybrid between the RoF and more conventional IL-2 model. I forget the exact quote so forgive me if I'm wrong on that but that was my understanding. So if it's $20 or $40 to get started... how much content is that? If it is exactly like RoF then you start with two planes and all content and then go from there.

I can see myself wanting all of it but not wanting to pay full price for all of it. I see they have volume discounts and sales and that might not be half bad. I used to be 100% against this model but if it's the only way to survive then I understand.

I just get concerned that you both fracture the multiplayer audience AND you get people spending limited money on the best planes but never bothering to buy anything else.
