OT: What do you think of this?

It's clear that they'd have to earn somewhere, in other F2P games this is done by having a game currency and making micropayments when you want more content. If enough people play and are eager to progress this could pay off instead of the full price game model. I find the idea interesting, it could attract a lot of people to the genre since the basic content is free. On the other hand, this bears the danger that the game could become too simple to impress sim players.

Again, purely speculative here.

and what about Birds of Steel? do you think it will be simple like this or WoP? I'm afraid that everytime a title is build for consoles and PC it is arcade
