I LOVE playing in training mode, so to me there would be a purpose. I'm not much of a multiplayer guy, so it would be nice to have ALL the planes unlockable in single player mode.

Hey, horses for courses - I actually don't mind a little training m'self, means you can fly against whatever you like, whenever you like - unless you don't want to pay for XBL Gold, or aren't on the PSN, in which case you can only fly against about 2/3rds of the planes available :p.

speaking as a mediocre gamer at best, i have never understood why developers allow ugrades in multiplayer. You already have people who have got good at the game, then you give them even more advantage by giving them better gear. Dosnt make sense to me. I'm convinced its counter productive if you want more people to be using muliplayer long term. so many noobs just get frustrated and load another game instead as you just dont get a chance to learn the game better and get decent....so you end up with just the usual hardcore.
A single player training mode that actually helps people learn to fly better would be good....and i agree with O.P that all upgrades should be available in that.

PLUS the time element...an option to buy the unlocks instead of playing umpteen online games with planes and modes you don't really like sucks when you've got limited playtime (e.g. wife / kids/ career/ dogs/ mistress(es)/ too busy serial-killing hookers etc etc)

I agree with this entirely - I get online with the option of a Hurri II, BF-109 E or I-16, and I'm playing against Spitfire IXs, I-153's and whatnot else. At least a little note telling people to play through the campaign first so they don't get 'orribly pwned when they jump online ;). I think KZ2 did it well - you had classes and unlocks, but you can still have a great game and be competitive running around as the default.

Why anyone would go to play online before playing the campaign is beyond me. How do you expect to be able to play the game against humans if you havent even bothered to play vs the AI? The MkIX and the other planes unlocked from playing campaign are easy enough to obtain. Its common sense that planes are unlocked via the campaign, theres no need for a note.

And the Hurricane is one of the best handling planes in the game and easily capable to taking out any other aircraft.
