For your 50 dollars you'll get new maps, aircraft, buildings, objects, and new features. The game engine was designed to be relatively future proof, so they could keep adding features and theaters for atleast ten years, as they did in the first series. Some would say the game engine is old already, I would suggest the game engine isn't even finished yet.
Hmm.. well if they do intend to charge $50, we can pretty much not expect a SDK until they've moved on to another product, as models and maps are the easiest thing for modders to make. I will, personally, not be paying $50 as I don't support the Call of Duty business model. If they add major changes to the engine or something that takes more than just extra art and FM to match I would be willing to reconsider.

Look at the development history of IL2. There is all you need to know about their business model.

Paying 50$ for a sequel / add-on / expansion / stand alone / whatever is really dirt cheap regarding what one is getting for that money.

Everybody has seen now the quality of the models and the landscape, compare that to any other Flight-sim and then compare the pricing!

Not to mention the Bugs, the CTDs, the poor performance...

Your PC isn't powerful enough, you see, this game is actually a year 2023 game. You have to find a time machine and travel in to the future, there you can acquire a rig powerful enough (nuclear class) to run this game in full settings...except for forests of course, leave that setting on low. This is unless, of course, they have released the performance patch by then...oh wait! I just came back from a Friday update in 2020 "We were juuuuust about to upload the patch to Steam III but it seems the pilots boots are causing an unexpected anomaly in the graphics engine, we are glad however to report that the performance has now increased 23 x 104%. Here, enjoy these static pictures of a vintage 1980's American schoolbus that will be in the add-o...ehr sequel €€ "IL-2 Battle of the Suburbs"...have a nice weekend!"

I'm still waiting to see what I'm getting for the $50 dollars I paid for COD. It hasn't been worth it yet IMO. Models and landscape are great but I'm hoping they have some sort immersion as a pilot.

Sorta like going to the cat house...paying $50...coming out with a dose of the clap...and saying...I got it for cheap. A year later? It still burns.

Ah...the weekend...time for a libation on the veranda

Using personal experience to support your arguments is usually a good idea, but you might want to reconsider.

OK, that made me chuckle.

Far better than all the tit for tat sparring that is going on in here lately.
