LLv26_Ozz Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Nice! BUT I thing that MP is what keeps these sims alive and now BOS MP experience isn't that good. Its now dogfight or SP. I know that we can do COOP missions (truly its anyway dogfight ). I loved that true COOP style where You got lots of info when mission ends etc... Anyway I have to admit that if BOS MP experience is enhanced even a little bit more I'm the first of us "thinking this more" to buy BOM and other sequels to come! Good work! and I hope Well get better MP someday!
71st_AH_Hooves Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ordered, LOFT, whattya say to adding back in F11! Please man. And to those questioning the MP side of things. Have you played on the Eagles Nest Server? SO MANY THINGS TO DO! Now there is going to be Medevac missions for the HE111's on top of Bombing, resupply, and escort missions. 1
Tompa_73 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 BoS BoM 4ever fanboi hype, take my money, Im all in!
Original_Uwe Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I have serious concerns about this developer.At the very least I want to see a mods on mode, a compelling offline campaign (Ala dcg), and custom graphics settings.BUT...I spent $400 for a HOTAS warthog, and $90 for a 100mm extension for said stick! That's nuts! It makes $80 for a new theater and 10 planes look like a good [Edited] deal!I'll buy as soon as I get home after work. Edited April 1, 2015 by Bearcat 1
IIN8II Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ordered, LOFT, whattya say to adding back in F11! Please man. +1^10 F11 would be amazing for film making. Please bring it back!
AndyHill Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) There are quite a few design decisions I don't like in BoS, but I'm very happy to see that the plan for integrating BoS and BoM looks very solid. The only question is how to make multiplayer stuff not too annoying when people have different planes and maps, but there are probably no easy answers to that problem. The planes and the scenario are interesting, but I'm much more interested in hearing about the game design and other general improvements planned for the game. For example it just doesn't sound quite right that people are expected to be willing to pay to skip the unlocks that are supposed to be the main motivator for playing the campaign. If there are plans for further development for the campaign such as persistent front, progress according to actual mission events etc. it's going to be a different thing altogether. <--- Also just noticed that there's apparently one 'S' missing from the badge to the left of this text.

feuervogel Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ok, pre-ordered, too. Playing more ROF in the past but looking forward to fly this Bf 110 ... and still hoping for an "old fashioned" campaign system. 2
unreasonable Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 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? What is missing is certainty about the SP element: ie will someone be able to create an interesting historic/RP style of campaign to supplement the official SP campaign, or will the official campaign pull it's socks up. This still applies to BoS as well, but that is now a sunk cost. I know Jason is working on getting this done, but until it is delivered we will not know for certain what we are getting. So I am still on the fence... 1
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted this to the BOS Reddit as well. Won't be ordering myself but why not?
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just reviewing the dates after someone complained about MOAR SNOWWW in another forum. Will there be fall and spring maps for BOM as well? Also, will there be more vehicles, apc's, light tanks, horses, infantry, ground objects, etc as well?
YoYo Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ok, I'm in. I must love snow... Ordered! Wait for a little green and brown .
Dakpilot Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just reviewing the dates after someone complained about MOAR SNOWWW in another forum. Will there be fall and spring maps for BOM as well? Also, will there be more vehicles, apc's, light tanks, horses, infantry, ground objects, etc as well? Dev's have said there will be Summer, Autumn and winter maps, hopefully we may get to see the Summer map first in early access there have been steadily added ground units so I also hope to see some more fleshing out with BoM Cheers Dakpilot
avlSteve Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I done clicked! I thought the premium would be closer to $100, so I feel like I got a bargain already.

Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowing through the Polikarpov in my mind! Well it is an open cockpit after all, idea for summer!
Jason_Williams Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks to all who have jumped in already. We appreciate it! I think you may get the I-16 first, but not totally sure yet. You may also get that before the BOM map is ready so you may have to fly it over Stalingrad or Lukie first during EA. Anyways, much work to do now. Jason 9
Rolling_Thunder Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Are the unlocks part off the premium pre-order? Will it work the same way as bos, buy premium to skip the grind?
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Are the unlocks part off the premium pre-order? Will it work the same way as bos, buy premium to skip the grind? I'd hope so. Otherwise,

Fingers crossed!
HippyDruid Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The current AU$ to US$ exchange rate sucks. So I will wait a couple of weeks. Congratulations on the Pre-Orders though!

Jason Hopefully we will get even more planes before BoM map!? "BOM Aircraft Available July 2015 QMB and Multiplayer modes only" "BOM Map Available in Q1 2016"
avlSteve Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 When I read the activation instructions I got real excited for a second... 6) When the key is activated the Download tab appears. Click on it, find the link and download the game client installer (this option is available only for IL-2: BOSright now). ... but then I got to the parentheses.
Feathered_IV Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 $105 Australian, that's a bit of a killer. Need to save for Mrs F_IV's birthday present next month before squirreling cash for BoM. Haven't decided what to get her yet. Pity she's not into flight sims. :D

IbisWTE_Ibis Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I might order it when the damn snow melts, and if I don't have to pay $105. And if ever I can get BOS to run properly. cheers,

I realize there are other models that are more important but I haven't seen much in the ground object development of late. Need some jeeps, apcs and a couple of those skinny ineffective AT guns both sides employed in the early going. More airfield trucks and objects as well. Edited March 31, 2015 by HerrMurf
Jason_Williams Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Are the unlocks part off the premium pre-order? Will it work the same way as bos, buy premium to skip the grind? It's right there on the order page and explained in the announcement. Premium = No Equipment Unlocks just like BOS. Jason 1
3instein Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 A decent campaign (kinda like ROF) would make me pre-order, for now though I will wait and see how this pans out. I would like to wish all the devs the best of luck with their new product and I'm certainly looking forward to following all the dev diary's that's to come. Mick.
