I really don't know what I want any more. Everything has just taken far, far too long, Cliffs is now old as fuck as far as games go, no matter how good it is. I voted for dlc/$30, but call me cheap I think even that is too much, and charging anything could easily kill the whole thing stone dead. If and when sales are appalling, you might as well forget TF5 because 1C would soon pull the plug. Dickie has TFS EVER intimated they would do a dlc 1941 pack, in all the time you have been asking for it?
Fuck I am almost agreeing with Kildren here! :roll:

There's one sure fire way of killing something stone cold dead, and that's to expect something for nothing.

You'll get your 1941 DLC code free when you pre-order Half-Life 3.

I think the DLC pack is the way to go. I also like the individually charged planes, but that might makes sales pretty low for certain planes. I don't mind paying for decent work. I've put a ton of time in Cliffs, and had some of my favorites experiences in simming here all for $10. I don't mind chipping in for some new content.

Fuck I'd have even paid for 4.5 if it had come out yet. That shit better be done soon lol.

DLC packs for me too......could have gone for 'Wait for one big module (TF5)' ie my Wellington,but just want a fresh start for ACG,so will go with the DLC packs.....bring on a 1941 theatre of war.

The Wellington is years from completion anyway,should it ever happen ! :roll:

Those same 15 year olds have brand new iPhones and high end contracts. Quite surprised that there are people (18 at time of writing) willing to wait and wait and wait in order to save a few quid, just so they get more aircraft for nothing.

Definitely a pack, the game needs to generate money but nothing is more fustrating than single planes being worth the price of the base game or more.

ROF and the DLC packs are still pricey and annoying but in my opinion the best choice.
