"Dad I want 15 bucks for MWO."
"Then mow the lawn."
"K. Dad, lawn is mowed, 15 bucks worth of MC please!"
"Ok son now shadap."
I never got 15 dollars for one lawn mow. Matter of fact I didn't necessarily get PAID, but I would be given some money if I went out somewhere. Kids these days.

What do you think ammo is?
Sigh, fine, ammo is a consumable. So are grenades, and missiles, and rpg rounds, and air strike call-ins. Good thing MWO doesn't have any of that and is superior with all energy no-heat weapons OH WAIT NO EVERY GAME HAS LIMITED AMMO AND/OR HEAT MANAGEMENT, In the aspect of a tangible one shot benefit item with a recurring cost, I don't know of any console game that uses such a system. Because you don't earn money per match, you earn xp with which you unlock new items, you build your load out, and generally speaking when you run out of something it is gone.
The only thing I could relate the coolant flush to in Modern War would be an instant health regenerator, or temporary screen shake disabler, or a recoil eliminator, something to let you shoot accurately longer while in a pitched fight. Even consoles know not to do that. F2P games do it to make the money they don't make when you buy the game.
