Asgar Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Daimler Benz cleared 1.42ata in June 1943. (TA-Anweisung Nr 30/43, 8.6.1943) But the RLM didn't!
Pollux Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Just a quick question. If a novice preorder BOK player but he does not own or BOS, or BOM, on which card you can fly it solo during the period of early-access? Because I imagine that the Kuban card will not come out first. Maybe Veliki-Luki, Lapino ou Novosokolniki ?

They will be able to fly Veliki-Luki, Lapino and Novosokolniki Aaand by june 1943 we have a La5FN cleared for flight... yak9 too La-5FN was first used near Orel in August 1943.
Marq_Tex Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Done waiting for ZERO's thx guys for your job.
Finkeren Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Aaand by june 1943 we have a La5FN cleared for flight... yak9 tooThe Yak-9 a lot earlier than that actually. It was combat tested along with the Yak-1B over Stalingrad in late 42 early 43 and both were cleared for full scale deployment immediately after. The La-5FN had its combat debut a little later though, in August I think. Edited October 7, 2016 by Finkeren
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 On the old Il-2's first bomber campaign I racked up some 20 or so air-to-air kills - three 109s, one Stuka, one Storch and the rest were all Hs-129s. They don't fire back, they turn like a brick, they are extremely slow and very big. In BoK they will be great for learning how to shoot the M4.
tailwheel Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Yay ! I'm in! Does the boxed version come with a bottle of schnapps and vodka ?
NumeroX Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Just pre-ordered the Battle of Kuban - Premium Edition as well as the two collector planes on pre-order... To the development team, you have my unwavering support! I agree 1000000% with your development plans for the series and I hope that soon ROF will also be raised to the same standards. IL2 and ROF are a dream come true for me and I want to keep the dream alive for as long as possible.

They don't fire back, they turn like a brick, they are extremely slow and very big. In BoK they will be great for learning how to shoot the M4. That's ok. I had an unusual fascination with the Hs129 when it arrived as a flyable in IL-2 1946 and it'll be great to take to the air in one again. Its poor overall performance doesn't diminish its really cool design, ultra-cramped cockpit and fun ground pounding potential. I'll fly any mud mover! 1
1CGS LukeFF Posted October 14, 2016 1CGS Posted October 14, 2016 ultra-cramped cockpit Oh yeah, it's cramped alright!
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I've joined you. I understand now... 1
ShamrockOneFive Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Oh yeah, it's cramped alright! Fits just like a glove :D Actually it might be a glove... I love how they straight out put the gunsight on the outside of the aircraft.
1CGS LukeFF Posted October 15, 2016 1CGS Posted October 15, 2016 Fits just like a glove :D Actually it might be a glove... I love how they straight out put the gunsight on the outside of the aircraft. Little wonder as well that the entire framing of the windscreen was padded.
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 You have to wonder what that Schlachtflieger was thinking right then...did he live, die? He looks lost in thought.
216th_Peterla Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Looking at Luke's picture, how in the hell you can bail out from a HS-129?
LLv24_Zami Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Looking at Luke's picture, how in the hell you can bail out from a HS-129? I was thinking about the same thing. Must be really hard
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I guess if you were at low altitude you would belly in and *hope* the bathtub would protect you. The upper seat back does fold backwards, I wonder if there was a quick release in the cockpit for that. All things considered, a 190F is a safer bet...
BlitzPig_EL Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Looking at Luke's picture, how in the hell you can bail out from a HS-129? This is the ticket for a flight on the HS 129...
StarLightSong Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 I'd surely like a few more classic planes and 109, 110,111 and 190 tweaks are nice but, I need Htc Vive support to give up $70 USA. Most of my coin has gone into hardware upgrades. Newly retired guys must now be cost conscious. But I've 3 friends that have become new Il2 flyers so I'm still spreading the word.

Avatar13 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere but my cursory look didn't find any info except when early access starts. Is there an official statement as to when the pre-order will end? Trying to arrange my financial priorities to ensure I get in on it before it expires. Thanks.
Urra Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere but my cursory look didn't find any info except when early access starts.

216th_Jordan Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 I guess there is no date. Probably it will be in pre-order until it gets released, but the earlier you can support the team the better.
Avatar13 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 I guess there is no date. Probably it will be in pre-order until it gets released, but the earlier you can support the team the better. Pre-order runs to December. Thanks, guys, that's what I'm hoping/assuming as there are a lot of financial obligations right now otherwise I would have already done so.
Rolling_Thunder Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 I guess there is no date. Probably it will be in pre-order until it gets released, but the earlier you can support the team the better. I don't see that argument. The finances are in place for BoK, from what I see, please correct me if I'm wrong, that purchasing after the pre order would help the devs more as there would be no discount therefore more money for the devs. Am I missing something?

Money up front is usually a good thing in business, to a point.

You are missing something. Pre-Orders help fund the team NOW, while development is actually happening, as well as solidifies their standing with 1C as far as support for the current plan goes. While ordering later may mean a few more dollars in the account down the road, (and is good, don't get me wrong) jumping on-board now supports further development to a greater extent. Early success leads to confidence in the road-map, including from an investor standpoint. If they didn't care, or if jumping on-board later was just as well, you wouldn't see a pre-order discount. Fund them now while they're building it. I did so - and will do so again later.... which is why I won't feel bad later when I politely complain that Okinawa shouldn't come directly after Midway.
Jason_Williams Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 I don't see that argument. The finances are in place for BoK, from what I see, please correct me if I'm wrong, that purchasing after the pre order would help the devs more as there would be no discount therefore more money for the devs. Am I missing something? No they are not. We pay for development as we go now. We never have enough money to build fully what you want. Only BOS had guaranteed funds up front. Same issue we faced with ROF. We need your sales NOW, not later. Jason 3
ShamrockOneFive Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 And this is why I pre-ordered Kuban, Ju52 and Yak-1B as funds allowed. Still a pretty good price on right now.
CF-105 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Still looking forward to all the duck-themed skins for the Herschel.
kissklas Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 And this is why I pre-ordered Kuban, Ju52 and Yak-1B as funds allowed. Still a pretty good price on right now. Indeed! I will buy every single thing I can afford in this sim, as long as the team has the will to keep developing the tech. And so far they are not letting us down:)
SvAF/F19_Tomten Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 This expansion sure does look nice, especially the planes that you also can use in the Pacific. Sometimes it sucks being a poor student, would really like to fly the Spitfire and Bf-110.
