IMHO
There is nothing wrong with the old system in IL2 1946.
Whenever an addon was released everyone bought it (online pilots) and everyone was compatible for online play.
In fact the Western market pilots demanded the release of the Russian PE2 (Peshka) addon be available for them, this arrived in the form of Bootny Box from UBI and caused a lot of "problems" for many.
The latest trend to remove your hard earned cash from your wallets is the DLC mugging system, my kids and their friends pay for new maps, weapons and other "essential" items to continue their endless virtual massacre of the universe and these items run into the hundreds of pounds not just a few quid here or there.
For The new Sim........
Keep the old system it works best for compatibility
