nonsense !!

the game was never free in the first few years, you got a couple of planes with the initial game and from then on you had to buy more items in order to stay competitive online and get newer better planes

after a few years of doing this and sales lagging, RoF decided to give you the initial 2 plane "game" for free but with limited options of how to play it. this was done very deliberately to sukker in a whole new swarm of players that would otherwise not have bought the game, and to be able to sell to a large percentage of them more planes and other items over the following months

free, no, not by far

I paid so much less for so much better game, that I seriously don't understand what are you talking about (an I bought it right at the start).

Nonsense. The Free-to-Play version of the game is the full version of the game. Multiplayer, single player, quick missions, career mode, etc.

Well, duh! It's called having a business strategy. 777 Studios is not a charity, after all.

Avro sits back for a moment and reflects. His new born son of 14 weeks is murmuring in the background. Neither CoD or RoF will change the most important things in life.

In short, despite the shortcomings i felt that clod satisfied me the most. gave me the closest impression of flying + the CEM stuff. The whole thing: from the plane on the ground, taking off, being on air, returning back. A satisfaction of passing the whole process that neither the old il2 gave me, nor ROF, nor FSX , no other game i played to date apart CLOD.


Rof is good and i praise them that they keep it good and with new content until now but i liked much more Clod. Nor i usually buy sigle planes too/dlc( also because i buy most of my stuff on cd/retailer) i tend and wait for expansions.

For ROF i am happy , i was much about Clod and sad to see it go.
about this new venture i hope to be able to keep the scope and the feeling it was able to give inside the copit.

Anyways i ll wait and see and wish good for this too

P.S i dont want to see a bomber to cost much because it has many gauges etc. nor i can think of selling versions of bf as separate planes ( i.e. the e3, e3b,e4 to f etc).
