Rjel Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 We need a special plaque;) I'm in too. I'd like to see some kind of symbol to show who has pre-ordered either collectors planes or now the campaigns. Maybe something different than the gold tags for the games.
Danziger Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 I'm in too. I'd like to see some kind of symbol to show who has pre-ordered either collectors planes or now the campaigns. Maybe something different than the gold tags for the games. I was thinking about this as well. I think something like a ribbon rack worn on dress uniforms would be cool. A ribbon for each purchase can be added to your rack. And if you've purchased multiples of the same things (for generous gifters) you get a gold number badge on the ribbon. Just like in the army you get a little metal pin onto the ribbon to show how many times you've received the same award. 1
=SqSq=Sulaco Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Mate... that's the law for you, but in my country we have different laws. So no, they are not correctly marked for a historically correct German aircraft during the second world war. Whatever restrictions you like to impose on yourself is fine, but please, don't try to impose those same restrictions on other people. I am not a nazi lover or closet national socialist, but I do like to see aircraft marked historically if at all possible. Trooper, the game is being developed in a country where nazi symbols are illegal, it's literally NOT LEGAL for them to put the symbol in the game, wait for community made missions if it's that important to you. I get where you're coming from, I like the authenticity of the real thing as well, nothing like punching holes in that hateful symbol but but there's really no point in worrying about it unless you want to fund the opening of a new studio in your own country. Bummer, but thems the breaks 4
sinned Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Great stuff. Finally a campaign of series of missions, though EF is not of my interest, I can learn some history. It would be wonderful if missions can be connected (i.e. destroyed objects stay destroyed in the following missions and outcome of a mission affects the sequence of campaign). There is a great multiplayer campaign which is quite dynamic (except all objects spawn) - Random expert. If someone also makes a SP campaign using Random expert engine (but populate the missions with AI planes and object spawn is more based on a believable supply basis), I will buy it too on a heartbeat. With this 'new SP engine', I really look forward to playing missions/campaigns made by talents like Jury, Vete, Coconut, Has and Pat (sorry if i missed anyone else).
Guest deleted@1562 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Yes, I will. I've always supported my campaigns and missions. Good to know edit: bought. Edited December 1, 2016 by I./ZG1_Wittman
Mmaruda Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) [Edited] I just pre-ordered BOK. Dear Devs, are you trying to ruin me? I'll buy this, it's something I wanted to have since this sim dropped. Just... not now. Edited December 7, 2016 by Bearcat Profanity

Gambit21 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Jason I'm gathering that the changes coming have to do with the way campaigns are made available to users. Uploading, presentation, purchase, organizing...etc NOT any improvements or changes to the mission builder necessarily or how missions/campaigns are created - would I be correct in that assessment?
YoYo Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) [Edited] I just pre-ordered BOK. Dear Devs, are you trying to ruin me?

III/JG2Gustav05 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 That's a good news. but my concern is the AI we have in this game now, I am worrying if it will ruin the new campaign experience? 2
Gambit21 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 For bombers nothing? Just hang in there. There's no magic "create amazing campaign" button in the editor.
15[Span.]/JG51Costa Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 I don´t play SP, but I think is important to support devs. Preordered! Saludos 15(Span.)/JG51 Costa
dhillr Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 "The community will be able to create and add their own scripted Campaigns once we explain how the system works in later announcements." I'm so excited to hear it. 1
Feathered_IV Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Is Blacksix the author of the campaign? I will definitely be having a word with Santa if that is the case.
[CPT]milopugdog Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Will I play the campaign? Maybe. Do I love the idea of it, AND getting an exclusive skin??? YES. Pre-ordered. 1
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Pre-ordered. Edited December 2, 2016 by Space_Ghost
TG-55Panthercules Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Great to see the SP part of the Community getting some more love, so will be pre-ordering as soon as I can get over to the store. I loved playing some of the scripted campaigns back in the old IL-2 days, and I'm looking forward to seeing this concept play out in the new BoS/BoM/BoK environment. I get the swastika marking thing and don't want to debate it, but it is a key reason why it's important to design and build these kinds of things so that custom skins can be used - that way players who want to can inject properly-marked skins if they so desire. If there won't be time to do that for this particular campaign, that's unfortunate but so be it - I'm ordering it anyway as a show of support to spur more such releases. Just please figure out a way to make that possible for any subsequent offerings like this. Like many primarily SP players, it's really all about immersion for me, and seeing non-historically-marked aircraft flying around just takes me right out of the "zone". 2
CageyMoose Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 What a pleasant surprise to see this announcement! One question: Will pre-order customers have the option to receive a Steam key for the product after its release?
=FI=Blue2 Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 More great stuff, as usual. And... another pre-order done! For CageyMoose, Judging by how everything else has gone up to now, I think you can very safely assume full compatibility with your Steam installation. There were some wrinkles early on with the sim itself but that's fully resolved now. I'm sure payware campains like this will follow a similar path, if not there already.
Blooddawn1942 Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Pre-ordered. Of course! What an awesone month for us simmers! We get the campaign, the Ju 52, 109 G4, the DCS Spitfire Mk IX, the Normandy Map and who knows, even the Viggen! Leaves me speechless. I guess I have to cancel X-mas to my family this year to get the time for all that good stuff.
1CGS BlackSix Posted December 2, 2016 1CGS Posted December 2, 2016 Is Blacksix the author of the campaign? I will definitely be having a word with Santa if that is the case. Yes, I'm. I've again an opportunity to do campaigns after a seven-year break and I'm very grateful for it to Jason, Albert and other management of 1C-777 One question: Will pre-order customers have the option to receive a Steam key for the product after its release? It will be sold in our store for now. It doesn't really matter where you bought it as long as it is activated in your IL-2 account. 4
Saurer Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Can we expect more official campaigns for the Collectore Planes in future?
Finkeren Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Can we expect more official campaigns for the Collectore Planes in future? Like most other things in this business, it will likely depend on how well this one sells.
YoYo Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Like most other things in this business, it will likely depend on how well this one sells. Im sure it will be, RoF example, so why not to have this in IL-2 also? Edited December 2, 2016 by YoYo
Piekarz Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) According me its a very good idea and news !!! The new Il-2 BoS/BoM ect needs to have better kind of campaign and approach to this subject (like it was in "old" IL-2 or IL-2 CoD, for example Desastersoft campaigns). Now it's minus in SWOT analysis (...) As YoYo mentioned and from my perspective also ( mostly SP in old IL2, and CLOD) 1. Career/promotion Career/promotion system is the essence of SP campaign. You fly as a rookie at the end of the formation. You fly as a wingman. You feel that You are the part of the squadron. You promote during campaign, progress to become commander of the wing. That brings fun and gamplay in SP. Flying as the commander from the begining is boring (imho) and will be simillar to "progress bar fullfill campaign". Some AI's flys behind You or not, they lost or not, they fullfill orders or not and You don't feel that You are the part of a group. Old Il-2 is also a good example You choose Your rank at the beginig. You can decide to be commander from the beginig or to progress... to becomme a commander. 2. Access to individual missions "Payware campaigns will be protected and encrypted" It will bee some "unlock" to access individual missions after completing the campaign? I know it's kinda DRM thing but it will be nice to have oportunity to acces to individulal missions (from game and from editor) So You can fly Your favorite missions many times, edit and modify them in the mission editor. You lern from the campaign missions how to build things in the editor. Campaigns in the old Il-2 was open and that builds the campaigns creators community. Sim is getting better and better and I'm sure we'll see that direction in the future. Edited December 2, 2016 by Piekarz_wa 1
Mmaruda Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 It's the Trump effect . The exchange isn't very well for not earning in $$$ ;>. That and our own currency taking a dive.
YoYo Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) "Payware campaigns will be protected and encrypted" It will bee some "unlock" to access individual missions after completing the campaign? btw. DCS and Eagle Dynamics has very big problem with this for user. His DRM does not allow to use for example Sweet FX so I never bought his payware campaigns.... That and our own currency taking a dive. It's a Jarosław effect . Edited December 2, 2016 by YoYo
Grancesc Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 I’m going to buy this campaign and if AI-improvements and a reasonable pilot reward system are implemented, I will further recommend this campaign. There are thousands of SP fans who still play the original IL-2 or CoD add-ons. This new BOM-campaign could be the right way to bring this big and financially powerful fan-base into our BOX community.
Moebelwagen Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Preordered! And I hope, there will be more content/campaigns to come in the near future! I liked the old scripted campaigns in original IL2 and the Desastersoft Campaigns for IL2 CloD very much! Flying almost exclusively in single player mode, the IL2 BOS/BOM "career mode" as it is right now, is a bit "weak" compared to those, mentioned before.
216th_Jordan Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) It will bee some "unlock" to access individual missions after completing the campaign? I understand encrypted and protected as that the files themselves will not be accessable to the user (by the editor for example). But why are so many people askkng for steam keys? is it because they don't know that it doesn't matter where they bought it in order to play it in their game or does such a steam key hold any advantage I don't know of? Edited December 2, 2016 by 216th_Jordan
YoYo Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 and the Desastersoft Campaigns for IL2 CloD very much... It was the masterpiece (and I used my voice here for Polish campaign for 303 Sqd (for English speeches with Polish accent ). See this: http://yoyosims.pl/fighter-aces-adolf-galland-expert or http://yoyosims.pl/fighter-aces-helmut-wick-vs-j-c-dundas .
Feathered_IV Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Yes, I'm. I've again an opportunity to do campaigns after a seven-year break and I'm very grateful for it to Jason, Albert and other management of 1C-777 That's great news. Was it you that wrote the MiG-3 campaign called Blinding Sun that comes with Il-2 1946?
LLv34_Flanker Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 S! Preorder went smoothly this time, so done.
