Discussion of Battle of Kuban Pre-Order

[seafireliv]

I am highly against pre-ordering anything.

 

Here I`ve made an exception. Don`t disappoint. I`m looking forward to a good dynamic type career mode.

There's a good track record here - unlike other places. Here I'll pre-order all day long.

[Skunkworks]

Pre-ordered premium edition!

[kissklas]

I have pre-ordered everything since I heard about the game. Worth every krone!

[CanadaOne]

Has any content been released yet? I think I read that one plane had been.

So far the Bf 109 G-4, Bf 110 G-2, He 111 H-16, and Fw 190 A-5 have been released for people who have pre-ordered BoK.

Thanks.

 

And those are all playable in Quick Missions in BOM?

[LukeFF]

Yes

[CanadaOne]

Yes

 

I remember your call sign from SimHQ I think.

 

Thanks for the info. Will make for a nice stable of planes.

[ShamrockOneFive]

The thing about this pre-order is that there is already a framework to insert content into. So yeah we've pre-ordered but we're also getting early access to content as its finished. The release of Battle of Moscow was, in a way, anticlimatic for me because everything had been rolled out slowly and I had nearly everything already.

[Rasputin]

Can't wait myself!  The Fw-190A-3 is already a treat.

[BlueJayslivernyc]

OK despite being a STEAM guy I through down my $69.99 for the pre-order finally.  I seen in the thread that after the release they are going to offer STEAM keys to the users who want them.  Between this and the $20 bucks I donate to M4T every month I am surely headed to the dog house with the wife.

 

 

I believe that BoX is the best WW2 flight sim on the market and since I generally support the big three (IL2, COD and BoX) I figured it was time to put up or shut up.  Looking forward to the new content guys!

[jamesp111]

I'm looking for info on when the pre ordered planes will be available. Mostly interested in the FW190, Spitfire, P39, HS129 and the map of course.

The best I can find is this: https://stormbirds.wordpress.com/2016/12/07/battle-of-kuban-what-content-is-coming-and-when/

 

Is this timeline still valid?

 

Also, when the planes and map are released are they in a finished state?

 

Thanks :-)

[Habu]

The timeline is valid, except that the FW is already avaliable since february.

Why so many 110 G2s skins are for night fighters???  We need russian front ones.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Agreed.

 

 

As it currently stands, the devs create skins that don't make much sense in the scope of their product (yes, I've read the disclaimer in the skin request threads):

• For the E-2 there are official skins ranging from North Africa (a theater 777 will never do) skins, Afghan skins (..?) and Western Front skins. Only one Winter Wespen skin.
• The community is creating period/theater correct skins to fill the voids.

I think the devs have always had it a little backwards on that one:

• The devs should make period/theater correct skins to go with their period/theater correct content packs.
• The community should make all other non-period/theater correct skins to their liking.

Or the devs could just add community created historical skins if they achieve a certain level of quality.

Not to be a contrarian but Panzerbar's work is OK (albeit well researched...) but doing this would result in massively different art styles with no sense of QC or artistic direction.

VR release impressed me enough to do pre-purchase. Ordered. 

[SCU_Server]

If I pre-order BOK will it integrate into my Steam version of BOS/BOM when its released ??.

 

Cheers

All of the preorder content will appear in your existing copy of the game - many of us are already flying the 109 G-2, 110 G-2, etc.

 

It will not appear as a purchased DLC in Steam unless 777/1CGS offers key exchanges.

Be sure to activate the key in your IL-2 profile and you should be set to go!

Will there be standard edition of bok to pre-order?

[ShamrockOneFive]

Will there be standard edition of bok to pre-order?

 

If the pattern holds the pre-order will likely end after the title is officially finished at which point they will offer the standard version for sale. So... no.

 

Right now its $10 off the Premium pre-order which is only $10 higher than the Standard edition so its a pretty decent deal to buy in now.

[crossfade]

Steam people will have access to the individual aircraft and all new technology and features as they come out during early access.

 

It wiil be still on pre-order till December, don't worry)

Hi Blacksix,

 

Just a quick question, My friend got BOS on steam I pointed out that not all the money gets back to yourself, He was not aware of this he now wants to support on your site Getting BOK am I right in thinking this will have no effect with regard to being able to play all versions together?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi! Yes, you're right) Moreover, he'll have the option to receive a Steam key for BOK after its release.

[senseispcc]

BOS, BOM, BOK, I play them on Steam with only the key of BOS but still can play BOS and BOM it shall be the same with BOK!   

[DLHBorderliner71]

I'm in too! 

 

Normaly I like that DVD-case in my shelf. Because of that (and other things) I hate to buy games at steam. Now I've gave the complete money directly to this guys, that do all the work. Nice!

 

Now I have to warm up the engine on my "new" Bf109 G-4 and continue my personal "Blitzkrieg". There is a bill to pay.
