Aye, completely agree - again, much less worried about the achievements/trophies, than just the ability to be able to get to all the planes (I dream of the B-17!) - and while I think a few things like that can encourage people to try different planes (a trophy for playing an online game with 20 different planes, for instance, would do the same job without turning it into a WoW-like grind), the current setup goes a bit overboard. But I don't think they meant it like that, and if the matchmaking/online setup was better, I'd play the required games to get the planes - when it does work online, it's heaps of fun
