Huh?

Retail releases, last I checked, were...

IL2: Sturmovik - Standalone game
IL2: Forgotten Battles - Standalone game
IL2: Ace Expansion pack - the ONLY add-on, but it didn't last long, as...
IL2: Gold - Standalone game (combination of previous two)
Pacific Fighters - Standalone game
IL2: 1946 - Standalone game
(Yes, of course I realize some could be combined...point is that Ubi didn't release any but one of the series as an 'add-on', all were sold as standalone games)

...etc

Heck, even look at the Rainbow Six games, or Ghost Recon, etc.

I really can't think of the last "add-on" UbiSoft put out to ANY title at all.

They really do seem to prefer re-using engines (perhaps with some updates) and selling new content then as new full standalone games.
IL2: Forgotten Battles - Standalone game ( This was multi compatable, Stand Alone or Add-on. If you used it as a stand alone you where screwed if you tried to play in the majority of online games via Hyperlobby as the standalone part of the disk did'nt allow you to use all the aircraft. Trust me, I made that mistake when I installed it. There are post way back all over the place for that. Pacific Aces was also a multi install Stand alone or add-on. Depended on how you want to install it.
Forgotten Battles only cost $29.95 as did Pacific Fighters and that isnt a full release price. The 1946 one is a stand alone but it combines all 5 of the series plus new aircraft but is also not a full price game, $29.95.
