JG13_opcode Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Having to grind singleplayer to use a loadout online is just [Edited] tedious. Playing against the AI is simply not enjoyable, and every time I try to convince people to play online they cite unlocks as a major barrier to enjoying the game.This is stupid.Online is pretty much a wasteland anyways, why not let people just unlock all the loadouts?

SharpeXB Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Get the Premium Edition and you can have all the unlocks.
JG13_opcode Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Get the Premium Edition and you can have all the unlocks. I have the DLC aircraft, if that's what you mean. You still have to grind out loadouts. edit: I guess I meant "unlocks" and not specifically "loadouts". Edited March 4, 2016 by 13GIAP_opcode
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 If you have both, log into il2sturmovik.com, go on "Profile", and click "Activate Unlocks" on the right-side column. Alternatively, log in and click here: https://il2sturmovik.com/activate-unlocks/

JG13_opcode Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) On a side note, even though premium buyers still have to 'unlock' the skins, Exactly. Edited March 4, 2016 by 13GIAP_opcode
Willy__ Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I've done that. You should have everything unlocked except the skins. Either that or: The two most populated servers (Wings of Liverty and DED Random Beta) have loadouts lock, meaning that even those who have the bombs/weapons/etc unlocked cant use them on those servers, maybe thats whats getting you confused ?

No, I just misspoke, see my edits above. But even if *I* did it, it's still an impediment for others, and at least 4 people have expressed this sentiment to me. They don't want to have to buy the DLC to avoid having to grind. IL2 is not the only game in town any more. They'll just go play War Thunder instead. Or CLOD. It's truthfully a pretty horrible system. Edited March 4, 2016 by 13GIAP_opcode
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 It's a way to raise more money really. I don't like it (mostly because the campaign runs slowly in my system, otherwise I would play it more often) but from a business standpoint the money they make from the people spending the extra 20-30 dollars to save some time and get all the goodies definitely makes life easier for the accounting team.

I'd be interested in seeing data regarding how many lost sales there were because of the same policy. For sure more than just the 4 I know of.
Feathered_IV Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 It's interesting that there are any number of courses available for game programming, but virtually nothing for teaching effective gameplay techniques. I get the impression that most individuals tasked with working on such things are distinctly under qualified.

BlitzPig_EL Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 That one has me scratching my head as well opcode... The unlocks (loadouts and skins) are really a dumb idea and enhance no one's gameplay. if you are not going to let us make and use our own skins online, then at least unlock the few that are "official".

It's interesting to me that an expert on gameplay like yourself hasn't already made his fortune developing a flight sim.
7.GShAP/Silas Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 if you are not going to let us make and use our own skins online, then at least unlock the few that are "official". Huh? Of course you can.
BraveSirRobin Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 if you are not going to let us make and use our own skins online, then at least unlock the few that are "official". You can do that. Unfortunately, you also have to convince everyone to download them.
Bearcat Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Locked. This subject has been beaten to death.. There are numerous threads on the subject. For now the consensus is it will not be changing.
