...and only people who pre-order in the UK.

DLC doesn't bug me - what bugs me is when it has no value; whether its something tangible that costs too much, or if it just plain sucks costly or not.

Best plane is no doubt the Yak-3 or La-5F. Both could handle Germany's top fighters with ease.

Yak-3 vs Fw-190 A3 would be a killer dogfight to see.

La-5F vs Me109 F2 would also be a great dogfight to see.

I would pick a Spitfire XIV over either, and probably any of the two stage Merlin Spitfires too, but they are good fighters, and certainly a match for the Bf109 and Fw190.

The only later Spitfire I like is the MkIX. I prefer the earlier Spitfires just because after the MkIX, they got to weird for me.

Also, I think the Me-109F2-4 are the best. G's are to clanky and big.

I think it's almost guaranteed to happen, and I probalby would like to buy new units. I just wonder how MP is going to be handled with it. Will I be able to join servers with people that pre-ordered from Game or whatever ? I never pre-order, there's no point the shops are always full of game. I'm assuming that all clients are going to have the same content as the host to be able to join their server. It looks like if I don't preorder I'm going to have to buy new content to access a lot of the UK servers on day 1.

In my experience online, the F2-F4 always won a dogfight if the LA didn't break off and try to get away. It seemed to turn a bit better at low speed.

The later models (G2 is still ok) of 109 just got too fat and useless for mixing it up and I never used them for anything but boom-n-zoom and I considered the FW190's superior for that job.

I think yak-3 vs FW190 A3 is a bit too much in yak's favor, at least in game. Seemed to me the Yak had every advantage - it even rolls with the FW. I never engaged yak3's in game beyond a 90 deg turn in a FW. Best hope is to suprise them when playing cockpit only servers.

If it is possible for the developers to put planes in the game- then why not put some more in as unlockables? Just let us people who don't have LIVE, have all of the planes. That is one of the things that has got people riled up on the 'battlestations pacific' forums.
i dont mind DLC but for every1s sanity make it free please
