Overpriced DLC?

You can't do much with a silver account. You can't even access Netflix without a gold account. They got me for 2 like that. LOL

Ugh...I paid $9.99 ($10.80 with tax) for the DLC on PSN and fully expected to get BOTH planes as indicated in the DLC description (you also get two new planes, the P-47D and TA-152...)

I downloaded/installed the DLC and instantly checked my hangars for the new birds. Only the P-47D is available on PSN after the download. I did verify that the TA-152s show up as enemies in the "P-47D in Europe" single missions, but I didn't pay $10+ for an "unlockable" plane, I paid for it to be unlocked and available.

So far, I've enjoyed this game, but little "white lies" like the PSN DLC description leave me less than impressed. Also, I've only tried playing online a few times because the session is inevitably ended by the host or some other such annoyance. I'm hoping the patch/update addresses many of these issues and, I guess, I'll need to win 100 matches in the FW series if I ever want to fly the TA-152 that cost me $5.40!

Well, after the title update you'll only need one kill online in a FW series plane to unlock the TA. Just hang tight and you'll get it.

True, but I still have no idea when the update will be available. In addition, my online woes continue. I don't know why, but whenever I join a game, the server crashes, the host leaves, or something else prevents me from finishing a session. When I tried on Saturday, I joined a Team Battle session, chose my plane, began flying, located a target, and, voila, host ended game. I flew for about 15 seconds. That is really annoying. I considered creating my own online match, but, after the DLC disappointment coupled with 15 seconds of online play, I just logged off and gave up...

You should have created your own game or looked for another. If the host ended the previous game, all the players from it would have been on the market for a new game. Once you have synchronised with a group of players, keep looking for or making games, and you can play online pretty much non-stop. It's just the initial delay of getting in synch that puts a lot of people off. This game rewards the patient

Those of you that got it for 400MSP off Xbox count yourself lucky, I looked at it yesterday and the DLC was 800MSP. The price must have gone up.

Hmmm gutted, I was going to pay 400MSP next time I played but I aint paying 800 for it.
