IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Moscow Pre-Order Program


Recommended Posts

Posted

I wonder about the price. With BoS we get 10 aircrafts, a new Game Engine, Texture, Vehicle and Stalingrad modeled for 99$. Now comes BoM for 79$ and what we get here are the 10 Aircrafts and a map without Moscow. Where is Moscow and the Redsquare since the Name of the Game is BoM? What I mean BoS had the best cost-benefit ratio. BoM is just overpriced!

Or BoS was underpriced? I certainly feel like I've gotten more than my 90$ worth from BoS.

 

Don't forget, that what you're buying for 80 bucks in BoM is not just 10 planes and a map, it's also the continued development of both BoM and BoS in form of new features, fixes and optimisations.

The cost to engine ratio is much better in BoM...

Hi devs,

 

The picture at sites frontpage with those two migs and burning messer is superb! Can you share with us version without text (or at least without preorder now which partialy covers second mig) as a wallpaper?

$8 per plane is a fair price IMHO.

The pre-order will last obviously for about a year, but this price may not last forever. Just as last time.

 

Thanks to all who have already ordered! BOM combined with BOS is going to be a lot of fun!

Jason,

 

Thanks for the heads up on a possible price change. Will there be some warning beforehand if the price is set to increase?

Remember guys to activate your key. If you already bought hthe game and you don't have your fancy BOM logo under your pic, that's mean that you didn't activate the game key.

I just comment it due to I just realize about. Go to your profile, license keys and look for the activate button. ;)

In for a dollar in for a dime...

And thats how I feel, too :salute:

 

Don't forget, that what you're buying for 80 bucks in BoM is not just 10 planes and a map, it's also the continued development of both BoM and BoS in form of new features, fixes and optimisations.

New features like Custom Graphic Settings, Mods On Mode, DX10/11/12, Multiplayer player count 64? Fixes and Optimisations you get for free. A continued development with new planes and maps that doesnt add the game more depth.

 

The cost to engine ratio is much better in BoM...

Not sure what you mean with cost to engine ratio?

 

$8 per plane is a fair price IMHO.

Steam Sales = fair price

I have paid more than $8 for a plastic kit which obviously can't fly ;)

Also, I want to support flightsim devs...

Thanks! Love to buy it but refuse to use $ so please arrange for other currency.

We're paying $10 less for BoM and getting the same number of aircraft.  It's a better deal than BoS.

Great work Sim. Thanks for that.

Hopefully there'll be a standard preorder edition just like the one of BoS.

when the standard preorder will be available???

The standard preorder will be available later, we'll announce this in the Developer Diaries.

What happend the last time where we supported them with the BoS pre-order. The Unlocks drama, The Custom Graphic Settings remove, Multiplayer player count before 64 after 32 now 45 drama,  Announced features "Mods on Mode from RoF" readable inside the Developer Diary was canceled this year 2015, but to Dez. 2014 you can read it was still planned to add it into the game.

 

And what they do to support us? :biggrin:

What is +-$10 more or less that is not a huge difference. BoS is still the better deal.

Not for me thanks. I'll wait and see what  we actually get before I commit my cash.

Looks like BoM developpment will be fast: Q1 2016 for BoM map & campaign.

Good luck to 1CGS with this new project.

 

Even if not "historically required" I would have liked to fly over the Red Square though!  ;)

I'm sure it will be tackled eventually. Too bad (tongue in cheek) Zeus is official now. His team probably would have taken it on. Hopefully some other talented individual has the time to do a medium size map of the city.

$8 per plane is a fair price IMHO.

More than fair

Umm.. There is a map in the pre-order page.. and Moscow city is not part of the game map area? A bit disappointing news.. I was expecting at least scaled-down city version. Still, will pre-order this when I get back home!

Dev's mentioned this a few weeks back. The battle of Moscow was mostly the battle in front of Moscow.

I thought it would be a cool idea to make a rather small (Lapino?) sized, even fictional  desert map for the P40, Mc 202 and the 109's to fight over. 

 

Hopefully the 110 won't be the last plane in development :)

Yes, if you ignore that we get the same content for a lower price in BoM, then BoS is the better deal.

You're free to make that choice ofc, but I honestly don't understand what information you lack. It seems to me, that we have a pretty good idea about what will be in BoS: 10 aircraft (we even know the specific type in most cases), the map area is known and will come in winter/summer/autumn versions, BoM will ve fully compatible with BoS and there will be a campaign in the same style as BoS. Apart from specifics about which unlocks and skins will be available for the different planes (which likely hasn't even been decided yet by the devs) what information is unavailable for you to make a choice?

I don't fly much and I really wan't a fix for game controller ID since it's a mess on windows 8/8.1 and apperently W10.

But what the hell, I'm in :)

Just preordered!

Hmm.. why didn't I get a golden bar for BoM!?

Aha.. had to activate it :)

Lets just say that I am more than happy to wait and see the finished product first.I'm still waiting for the 'Robust Single-Player campaign that features a challenging and innovative AI system'.

Got mine. Really eager to try the P-40 and the Mc.202.
