Offline Unlocks? (FAO Anton?)

[generyx]

I agree. It kinda sucks! I would love to play the B17 in the Training missions but I have to play online to get it! I work a lot (10+ hours every day) and in the evening I prefer to play smooth, chilled single-player games. I am 41 years old and I don't have a 24/7 gaming schedule like the rest of the online-kids. I would not care to pay for a download of these planes. I got enough money, but no time! So please give us an option to get these planes offline! Thanx a lot....

Agreed. Online only unlocks are a stupid idea simply because its absolutely dependent on other people. HAWKS did the same thing and it failed miserably online, so the vast majority of the game owners will never have a chance to get the extra planes.

However I have a feeling that BoP will have a good following and should be pretty solid online. This at least give us a slim chance of getting some of the aircraft. Though some of the requirements are rediculously high (Mk16 spit = 100 kills in spit~seriously wtf?) and should be reduced by a major factor. And thats not even counting the weapon kits yet.

Anton can you comment on this please?

It can only take 10 to 15 games to get 100 kills, and the Spitfire XVI is worth it, believe me.

Thats if you can actually find a game, which is my point entirely. The player base is to widely split across to many modes and to many difficulty settings. To be honest "player mode" should just be droppped completely and all games should be of the ranked variety. That would condense a lot of the players in together and make the online experience a whole lot better.

Its murder atm just to get a game in the first place never mind score 100 kills in a single aircraft.

Yup & already have in the sticky thread.

I agree, there needs to be a way to more easily unlock the multiplayer planes. As I suggested in another thread, a paid dlc that unlocks all planes might be the ticket, that way those that play online can get them for free but those who are short on time, don't like multiplayer or just can't find any matches (in the future), can still access the full game content they paid for.
