Conditional yes.

I pay for RoF content (bought every aircraft so far) and have always been satisfied.

BUT, and thats a big but - only if the "sim base" was to my liking which it is not at the moment and won't be for the foreseeable future.

The way it is now I wont buy a campaign, theatre pack or single aircraft.

I'm in the same boat. Bought RoF ICE and bought all the planes either on sale or preorder. I'm not buying any of the mods though. Value is just not there yet Buying a plane for $4 and then 4 or 5 bucks for a gunsight or a fancy gauge, I just don't see it.

What helps RoF is that it's only a 1 theater simulator. With a WWII sim I don't mind spending 40 or 50 bucks on a theater. This way most of the planes in that theater would be there. Not just the popular ones. People are most likely not going to spend a lot of money on a crap plane only to get blown out of the sky on a fulltime basis. The skies would be filled with 109's, fw190, Spits and Mustangs. Forget about the Fokker DXXI's or Fairey Battles and other obscure or low production number planes that played a part in May 1940.

So bring on the new theatres, after the base program is fixed mind you.

That made me laugh! The results of this poll are clearly opinion and can't really be wrong.

Every poll we have had so far as been 'clearly wrong', according to the die hards who dont like the results. We should get the Mods to create a poll so noone can argue with the 'wording'!!

The wording should have included the state of the sim, as in:

Would you pay for additional contend for cod as it is now. or:

Would you pay for additional contend for cod when the patch works as announced.

The way it is worded now it is biased towards the negative, imo.

Would I pay for content? Depends, if there's a huge number of fixes and performance boosters included and better sound, then yes, absolutely.

I can't wait for the next game in the IL2 series, but they got to fix this stuff first.

Like many on here I voted Yes, but that is conditional on a much improved sim. I personally am not interested in the ROF pay per plane model. I would pay for larger theater wide expansions with multiple aircraft like AEP, Pacific Fighters, PE2, and 1946, (which of course are more expensive than just paying for planes) and new maps, I personally like that model better and feel it is more suited to simulations.

I will never ever again buy aircraft one at a time. It's not the way to properly develop a flight sim. All it does is create income flow with no incentive to do anything but make more aircraft models, as that is where the money is for the developer that uses such a lame scheme.

What I will do is buy addons that supply aircraft, land and sea vehicles, and maps that allow for their use in a proper historical context. This is real value for money, and not just feeding an addiction for new aircraft.

Yes once the game is working condition. At least beta release level. Not the Alpha ATM.


And I'd like it per expansion, not pay for individual planes. And keep making the game better with each expansion.

+1 on this as other people have said it. Its not just the plane but the whole game that makes a game great, the theater development, ground vehicles, ships, buildings, environment, troops, AI . . .

That's like going to the store and paying a few quid for an egg, everyone knows you buy them by the dozen for several

Of course greedy capitalist figs try to hog and sell piece by piece. that model is weaksauce.

So is the Starcraft 2 and half life 2 spanned release idea.

Starcraft 2 was originally going to be released as one big game with all three races just like the original with two expansions in the works. but now Blizzard realizes their crazy fans will pay 20$ a month (for two accounts) for a 7 year old game with lame graphics, that's been haxorz to hell and rampant bliz employee GM abuse (game master) so leet peeps can max level in a day . . . so they split their game into 3 parts sold separably wait 2 years between each . . .

and then their two + expansions.

Blackdog_kt 08-30-2011 09:29 AM

There's no leveling neither monthly subscriptions in starcraft 2. You buy the game, you get the campaign of the first race (which is as long as the entire first game was) and all three races to play in multiplayer. Maybe you are confusing it with world of warcraft? :confused:

+1 to the above, just some of the reasons i think full expansions would be better overall and provide more variety in the long term.
