Those screenshots are awesome... it would be proper shame if those pits weren't released as DLC for consoles. I'd happily pay £10 for those (Would have been nice to have them on the disk, but never mind)

So if the pits are built, and working in game for WoP, what possible reasons would there be to not make them console DLC? Maybe lack of support from the publisher, or something like that?

I think the problem is the cockpits are too large a file to include in a patch, and the devs are waiting for a piece of DLC to be completed so the cockpits can be bundled with that.

Course, you could split the cockpits up into several patches, but after all the fuss with the one patch so far I don't think anyone wants that.

Maybe they will come with a Pacific theatre DLC pack, with the Zero from the WoP trailer and some other new American and Japanese planes too. Would be great if we could have the P38 and P40 at last.

I think its more likely that the cockpits will be the next DLC, rather than the being bundled with something else. It seems pretty likely that we'll end up paying for the pits. Maybe we'll get the 109 for free, as insinuated by the dev's, but the others we will have to pay for. I'm find with this, as long as its reasonably priced.

Would love to see some pacific themed DLC too. What extra planes are included with WoP that weren't in BoP?

Yeah, but there is a difference between mandatory patches and optional DLC. Patches are limited in size, I think the limit is 64mb on the 360 and probably something similar on the PS3, and the cockpit files will be bigger than that.

I don't see why we would have to pay for the cockpits. The devs have already built them, so it doesn't cost them anything to include these cockpits along with another piece of DLC.

About the A6M2 Zero I mentioned, see 0:12sec into this Wings of Prey trailer

Looks good, doesn't it? I haven't seen any other new planes, but if the Zero is in then there will have to be some American Pacific theatre planes for it to fight.
