Anyways, the 8 bucks was just a number I found somewhere else on this forum. I have a xbox, so I didnt see the PS3 price myself. And no, I do not think the UK pound and buck are the same. I;ve never mentioned the UK pound anywhere. I use euros, and those actually are about the same as bucks.

I will stop the name calling here. So you dont get tunnelvision and can focus more on the rest of my post. And try to find a counter argument for that.

I'd be honoured sir. You do realise that IL-2 1946 (the title I mentioned remember?) was released in December of 2006. By my reckoning, that's 7 years out by your extremely weak argument. Yes the original was founded 9 years ago but 1946 raised the bar with all new content, aircraft, sceneries, campaigns.
COD1 if my memory serves me right (I'm not too well up on arcade shooters) was released in 2004, before the next gen consoles even.
1946 landed in a time when the 360 had been out more than a year & it shone as brightly as the titles of the time.

Compare a combat flight sim with over 250 flyable, cockpit-given aircraft, unrivalled realism to flight models & characteristics, loads of lengthy campaigns & missions, a simple-to-use mission editor, allowing the player to create every imagineable scenario with ease & confidence, total camera control & fully functioning replays & on ...& on.....

to

COD1. A great 1st person shooter that ... well, lets you shoot the opposition & perform irish 'river dances' as the player weaves & dances his way round thousands of grenades. (Thank the lord for Op. Flashpoint 1).

I don't get phased by name calling & so there's no tunnel vision here. The fact remains that the games industry is going backwards in immersion & content for a higher price & that's why I can readily & openly compare the nowaday price of a 3 year old PC release to a pathetic DLC. Hey sure it's on the PC too. Rise of Flight (latest WWI air combat sim) has all aircraft in the title but half of them are locked down to the user until he or she foots the bill each time.

How come you're still on this forum, instead of on the 1946 forum actually making a point or something? I mean, sure, hate the game, whatever, but why bother us with it?

For the sake of this topic I will stop this discussion.
I could ask why you say I compare COD with IL2. I was Comparing Cod1 with COD5 and BOP with Il2 1946.
Or I could ask why you compare this game to a PC Il-2 + 3 extension packs and 10 updates... not giving this game even the chance to bring 1 update before you judge. (the first IL-2 had only 31 planes).

But... im not going to do that..

So..back on topic:
Got the DLC yesterday, and I personally like it . The missions are great, too bad the P-47 doesnt fly well though . Still a great experience

[cdogblitz]

im pretty dissappointed about the dlc. the p-47 is portrayed reallisticly at least but the ta 152 should be much better on the turn much better

[Leweegibo]

I think I'll wait to see what the next dlc will include and it's price, $15 AU is far too much, maybe if we pay this then all future dlc is free I would understand.

I'd expect (at least) 3 planes, a new multiplayer environment/mode and the missions for this price

[monyetension]

whether i like it or not...you'll have my hard earned money soon...

Cheers!

It would be nice if they added the same upgrade line for the Hurricane as they do for the Spitfire and Bf-109.

It would be nice to have the Hurricane II B, Hurricane II C (4 x 20mm. Hispano cannons) and Hurricane II D (2 x 40mm. 2 Pdr. anti-tank guns).

Also the P-36 Hawk and P-40 Warhawk (gutless Alinson engine) and Kittyhawk (Merlin engine). The P-40 was flown by the Russians in defence of Moscow in 1941..... along with Hurricanes.

A DLC with the Finnish Airforce plus maybe a Lenningrad and other suitable Baltic maps would attract my money. I enjoy flying Finnish Gloster Gladiators, Hawks and Buffaloes on IL-2 Forgotten Battles, so I'd quite like to fly them in BOP too.
