True enough, though I would say that if you're after the B-17, the significant lack of games (especially on PS3) means that the Arado becomes quite an inviting substitute, at least to get those 50 strike wins.
Also, epic fail at the P-47 not being in the game unless you had the bonus codes. If i'd known that you had pre-order, I would have done.
Speaking of bonus codes, I bought the inFamous special edition and got the Gigawatt Blades bonus code, despite it being a pre-order bonus. To be honest, I don't see the point of keeping some planes out of the game for the sake of the whole pre-order thing. It should be more like World At War; you pre-order, you unlocked the M1A1 Carbine early for multiplayer (or something like that). You have to get to Level 65 if you didn't pre-order, but you could still get it
