Great. When is the page BoS for consoles?

quoted from site “upgradeable weapons”
This worries me does it mean they upgrade with models or we get upgrade points.

I am also very worried about "upgradable" weapons hope this doesn't mean a arcadish get points to upgrade things like accuracy, damage, range ect in my opinion this would ruin the game!

I have no idea how their Free Subscription business model will really work, but I could imagine this would work in a similar way as you can unlock certain weapons and airplanes in BOP, with the difference that once you have reached the experience criteria for unlocking, you will given a YES/NO choice for unlocking in combination with a micropayment of some Game currency which you can stock up on to have a positive balance. I don't have this game but I believe that's how it works with World of Tanks. Can anyone confirm?

So that would mean that the basic game is free, but if you want better/more airplanes/weapons and you have the necessary experience level for them, you'd have to pay for those. I wouldn't mind that, this would keep the devs interested in developing more in game content after initial developement.

They are charging for the software thats how its subscription free.
I just hope it doesnt become an unrealistic arcade like upgrade system like in blazing angels 2 (yes I have played it and yes it s**t)

Beaufighter with Raaf markings, crap. As of the scenery I hoped for Northern theatre

Surely Birds of Steel will be much like BoP when it comes to weapons etc? Nobody has really complained about them and they work well

Who knows eh?

Thanks for the linkthough, i've got it saved to favourites. Can't wait for the BoS site to come up and suprise us like the BoP one did with a new plane added every so often!!
