P.S Also like to add that I disapprove of the idea of pay-to-play a la WoW, it wouldn't work for the il-2 series and I would NEVER pay a monthly fee for a game.

Makes you wonder. What if 777(rise of flight developer) pulled a DLC Spitfire MKI and a Me109E out of their hat for say $15 each? I would buy them right of the bat. Same for a FW190 or P51. They would make a fortune, even without a campaign or new maps. Basically a simple dogfight sim. They could do it right now with their current game engine. Anyone ever noticed the Rata sitting in their museum where you enter the game?
1C can do the same thing. Sell us annual theatre expansion packs with maps, campaigns, objects and widely used aircraft so we can play historical campaigns offline. Sell us per DLC (third party developers?) the most popular aircraft so we can go online and have a furrball right from the start.
What worries me about this model is this. It will be so succesfull that they'll make much more money with the popular DLC content and do away with expansion packs all together. RoF may have opened Pandora's box.
