Default Oleg, what about SoW and DLC?

I hope this time, instead of releasing tons of free content (new planes, objects, vehicles etc.) in every patch, you will charge for it so you can actually make a decent profit out of the game. Also it gives the customer freedom of choice, "do I want this plane or that tank?" etc. DLC should be very easy to distribute AND pirate-free from the Steam platform also.

As much as i want OM to get a tidy profit out of his project, as much i am opposed to DLC!!!
I believe the il2-solution to sell additional upgrades/mission-packs with the necessary planes
and ground-models is perfect, as it guarantees that online, everybody has the same game when
flying in a war-theater.
Also everybody has the choice if he is interested in a theater to buy it or not.
Unlimited freedom of choice is not always a good thing.
Further i believe that the use of steam as a ADDITIONAL distribution path is great, but i want
to hold my game, with some additional material (maps, badges or something else), in my hands.

I agree with you on the physical ownership part. There has been no mention that there won't be a physical version of the game so no worries there. You're not the only one who wants the collector's edition with the linnen (?) map of the channel area

RoF sell their planes individually, but everyone flies the same game- it just means that you can only fly the planes you own- you can still shoot down the Handley Page even if you haven't bought it.
I think rather than selling theatres, scenarios or battles could be packaged. Midway or Flying Tigers, rather than 'the Pacific'. Means people are less able to complain that their favourite type is absent when it didn't participate in a battle.

I believe that DLC sets the priority to money production, just in case of RoF one has to buy planes to stay in competition.
Also i believe that DLC favors the all time favorites, say Bf 109, Spit, La5, F4U, F6F, Ki84....
and so on.
Who would buy a Fairey Battle, or a Hs123 or a Swordfish, apart for a few really interested in that plane?
To have a sound game, were there are not only 109 and spits over the channel i.e., the way of the package is much better.
Of course the big theaters could be splitted, say early war vs. late war, or sub-theaters like the sino-jap-war.

I don't know if anyone has seen Railworks on steam, they do a pretty good job at making DLC for their game.

They continue to bring out new trains for anyone to buy, for if i remember correctly; a really affordable price.

Although i do indeed think it can get annoying to continously buy individual planes for Storm of War. I would also like to see complete packages, theatres in this case maybe.

I'm just saying that perhaps Oleg & team can take an example out of Railworks.

Yes please I want to pay mucho for stuff that used to be free and don't get me started with what a pain it has been to download all that free stuff and now all that free stuff is sitting on my harddrive coercing me to play it incessantly... Oh and yeah Steam rocks, I like it when I can't do with my stuff as I please and I like being at the mercy of a company that may or may not exist tomorrow.

I'd much rather see SoW adopt a business model like Rise of Flight has. The days of cheap addons and free sh*t are well over. Time to move on and develop as system that is sustainable.
