How about some more content for CloD

In patches there will be more content added for free, just like the original IL-2.
And soon the modders will get their hands busy at creating more free content, like it has always been.

There won't be any more planes added in patches for CloD, luthier has said so himself. Modders? You mean modders as in UP modders? No thank you. I want MG tested additions like it was before modders cracked and flooded il-2 46 with horrid looking models/cockpits (some are nice I admit that).

Listen, the system I want is the pre-hacked il-2 46 system where a 3rd party modeler created a 3D model of a plane and/or cockpit and sent it to Oleg, they checked it at MG to make sure it was all good and then approved it for the next patch on the schedule. That's all I want and I'm willing to pay for add-on planes if it speeds things up because now it's been over a year since CloD was released, how many 3rd party planes do we have so far? nada! and I'll bet another year will pass before we see the first one rolling out in a patch. 1 plane every 2 years? I'll be middle aged (no offense to the elders of the forum) before we have even one complete planeset for only one theater.

I want it accessable from the steam workshop instead of having to search for it on various websites.

IMHO the DLC means totally different system (Like RoF). The BoM is a standalone, complete game, which compatible with the previous versions. It contain totally new features, and -of course- DLC like content too.

New content is allways nice.. And as 1C has stated, new content will be handled the same way it was done with IL-2.. i.e. sequals

Personally I like the RoF method better, where you pay for individual items.. The nice thing about the RoF method is you get a quicker turn around on new content, and you can pick and choose the content that is important to you

That's what I'm interested in.

I prefer larger expansions, not only is it cheaper but you get a big bunch of stuff at once.

Rise of flight is all based on one large map so it makes sense (though channel map is coming) as they dont need to keep giving new theatres. Had RoF released all at once with lots of planes they couldn't really have done many expansions.

WW2 is so much larger that paying ROF costs would be ridiculous- 10-15$ an aircraft, 20$ a map and 10$ a campaign would be exorbitant.

This way you get a big bunch of aircraft and a map for a standard price. For example, I would prefer a BoB extra pack for say $15 (including nightfighters, french aircraft, bombers flyable) rather than having to pay $10 for every single aircraft they prefer to add (like in RoF).

IMOH the infexibility of the planeset (and maps) the biggest disadvantage of this. There is no problem, if you play offline, or "All in" servers only. But the historical missions, online wars need any planes, and any maps. You win nothing with this "expensive, but don't have to buy all" system. In the end, you have to buy all of them (at least in your side).

I doubt, the devs make unique planes, because of DLC system. If the customers don't buy it, just a waste of money (lot money).

I hope in a couple of years MSFS add-ons devs turn their attention to Il-2 engine and produce some quality DLC.

infexibility of planeset? Can you expand on this? Because I am not sure what you mean by that

infexibility of maps? Granted not every inch of euro, let alone all the other areas of conflict are on the map.. But since the majority of WWI air battles, or at least the best known, can be simulated using this map, I don't see how they are infexibil? Also note, RoF is working on a new map as we speak.. So again, not sure what you mean by infexibility
