In one go Id say $99.99 but over time what ever. But for that it better be good. Between IL2 Stormovik, Forgotten Battles, the Aces Expansion Pack, Pacific fighters and IL21946 I've spent over $250 on my WWII airpower fix with Oleg Maddox . And eventhough I complained about pulling out my wallet so damn often, each time I loaded the sim up I have been in warbird heaven. I can fly more beautifully modeled warbirds than I ever knew existed over nearly every theater of the War. After I spent only $50 on SH4 and I was very disappointed and I still play SH3 far more than SH4, despite how graphically gorgous SH4 is.

I've bought all the Silent Hunter Series incl. DC since SH2 but I have not felt that same feeling I got with SH3 since SH3. If Ubi wants to follow Oleg's path and get me to pay for more SH addons down the line I will be happy to do so but they ve got to deliver. Make a commitment to accuracy (not perfection per se) fix howlers for free with regular patches (Oleg usually includes new content along with his patches) and constantly improve the product. Do that and I'll happily spend the bucks.

I really think the War at Sea deserves the same treatment as the War in the Air. PC Simming is my favorite hobby next to photography so for a quality program I'd be happy to pay up.
