What exactly do we need to purchase to be completely up to speed with the multplayers aspect of this game?

Depends on the server you go on. I always recommend spending a bit of time in the Quick Mission Builder flying around until you feel like you can shoot down the AI with some degree of success with a few different types of aircraft (there are so many to choose from!). And then start online.

Some servers are more difficult and have a greater degree of restrictions (locked cockpit, no icons, etc.) whereas others are more open (virtual cockpit allowed, team or full icons, external cameras allowed, etc.). The ones with more relaxed settings tend to have a greater mix of players with the inexperienced and the experienced mixed in together.

On servers like UK-Dedicated the regulars tend to be very helpful although if they find you in their sights you're still dead
