Why on earth would they remove it? A strong community it commercial campaign set can only increase the viability of CoD. Or do the devs think they don't need help in this regard!

All the very best of luck to them!

Why would I pay 30 euros for something I or the community can produce for free?

It's not likely to have addressed any of the bugs like radio commands and in any case I think that would be an infringement of Maddox Ts&Cs?

Anyway, its a lot to try to make out of a chance dogfight with a typically unpredictable end, probably due to luck and circumstance.

There's nothing wrong with any kind of 3rd party campaigns / addons to IL2 CoD, on contrary.

The only thing I say is that the price is way too high considering what you guys are offering. Maybe I would pay 5 to 10 euros for the package content you mentioned, but in no way more than that.

Anyway, it's a free world, and you can ask whatever price you consider for it, same as I am free to pay whatever cost I think it is fair.

Good luck!

Amazons price is not the price we earn, budy ....
Some seem to forget that. And i doubt, tht you can produce it such for 5-10 Euro, realy ...

Such Add On is work of 4 People for now 5 Months.

But as you mentoined: Free World and nobody is beaten to buy it. Most we sell to our Fans of our Series. We don´t get rich with it, believe me .

cheers

About the prices, just imaging what the costs are to print a "small" number of maps and manuals,
adding to that the production costs for the box and the dvd and many hours of research and taming the fmb.
Then this price isn't too high if you want to reenact the history.
To fly all this missions takes you longer than to play the sp-part of a more expensive fps, so more fun for the money.
There might be free missions, but usually without a proper researched and documented background.

Because this is worth it for this addon
If you can do it better, so feel free to do it

As you say. I'm not saying you want to get rich through it (even if you might want to), or that the costs and needed human power aren't what you are saying (even if though it doesn't seem like).

I'm just saying that the final outcome, which is a series of (static) missions, of the quality as seen from the demo, are not worth more than 5-10 euros. You are asking for it (again, a few static missions and some skins) 30 euros, which is roughly as the cost of the game itself, which is a thing I find, excuse my frankness, outrageous.

Thats my point, it isn't worth 30 Euros to me. Some have said 5-10. I might be interested in paying something like that to save me the time and trouble but for 30 euros? I can live without it. I only play on line anyway, well 95% of the time.

But as they say about their forum "advert", no-one's beating me to buy it.
