US63_SpadLivesMatter Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 My kid wants to be a gunner for me in multiplayer. I let him try my game for a bit, and he isn't interested in the flying part (he likes RoF, but doesn't like how the WWII birds handle in comparison); he'd still like to hop in and be my gunner though. If I had him create an account and then gifted him the Yak-1b, would he be able to log onto multiplayer and play as my gunner?
Dutchvdm Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Hi, I think you need at least one of the base games like BOS, BOM or BOK. Wait for a sale and get one of the standard edition. That won't be much more expensive than a single plane not in sale. Grt M
Riderocket Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 many people dislike RoF becuase the way they sell aircraft, but for people who wanna try the game or just wanna play with friends, with 1 or 2 planes, its better then the system we have here. most of the reviews on steam for rise of flight are complaints that its not free to play because you have to buy every plane etc, but then if they make it cost money and you have problems like this. same as DCS, most bad reviews are about how expensive it is, flight sims are expensive! besides, no one should not recommend a game based on price. you get what you pay for, (unless you pay for EA $#!T)

ShamrockOneFive Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 There is usually a summer sale of some kind. Stay tuned
Jade_Monkey Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Actually someone asked a similar question and I *believe* that Blacksix answered that with a collectors plane you get all the free maps (lapino, VL, and Novo). So my guess is that OP's son could join a MP match as a gunner, because all maps are available on MP for everyone. I would double check but there might be a chance that would work. Send a ticket to support.
Yogiflight Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 IIRC the post of Blacksix was about BOK aircrafts. If someone purchases BOK now without owning BOS or BOM, he is able to play in MP and in SP on the maps, you mentioned. But the game engine is only in the games, not in collectors aircrafts.
CanadaOne Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 There is usually a summer sale of some kind. Stay tuned Hmmmm... I was considering buying the P40. Kinda half and half because I want it and because I want to support the team. But as I am both cheap and not at all rich, a sale sure would taste good right now. And I checked my profile and no promo codes for me.

CanadaOne Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I want people to support the game, but honestly the P40 in its current state is a bad purchase. It would be hard for me to recommend it. Hmmm, that only leaves the Yak 1B. Not much in the way of funky extras with that plane. Quiet the puny ammo load. (I have the other planes except for the Ju-52, and that isn't going to happen.) Just have to keep whining for a Hurricane I guess. Edited June 4, 2017 by CanadaOne

But as I am both cheap and not at all rich, a sale sure would taste good right now. And I checked my profile and no promo codes for me. The last promo/sale knocked it down to $9.99 which wasn't too bad Hmmm, that only leaves the Yak 1B. Not much in the way of funky extras with that plane. Quiet the puny ammo load. (I have the other planes except for the Ju-52, and that isn't going to happen.) Just have to keep whining for a Hurricane I guess. The P-40 isn't superb but I REALLY like to fly it sometimes. Its decidedly terrible but when you do get your guns on target it can make very short work of the enemy. Its also not too bad at chewing up bombers with those guns. We'll see if the roll coupling update makes it a bit easier to handle too. Don't be fooled by the lack of features... the Yak-1B is an all air to air fighter and hands down the best in the Russian lineup right now. It'll be immensely useful in the Kuban battles too. Probably still on top in that aircraft set too. 1

Who is just giving out free flight Sims without any way if making money? Imagine if each plane was released individually as they were originally. Don't get me wrong I get the whole DLC is bad thing when things that were in the original game or that should have been are released as paid DLC, but I like RoFs business model. I'd vuyba new plane every now and then, then some sales happened and somehow I ended up with all of them. I can't say that I've even flown them all, but certainly most, and they're all different. I know that we won't see VR in RoF, but if they figured out a way to import the models into BoX, I'd gladly buy them all again. Then I'd start blasting Camels with Yaks! 2
CanadaOne Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 If/when the Spitfire is released this month, will it be for sale right away as an individual collector plane?
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 If/when the Spitfire is released this month, will it be for sale right away as an individual collector plane? Normally that hasn't been the case. Usually the Collector Planes become available for premium pre-orders first and then when the release is out then they become available for separate purchase. 1
CanadaOne Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Oh well, too bad. Was at your site today. Very cool.
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Oh well, too bad. Was at your site today. Very cool. You'll probably break down and pre-order/early access before they make those Collector Planes available I'm guessing! :D Thanks very much! Check back any time. I try and keep things fresh with the latest stuff and my own ramblings
CanadaOne Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 You're probably right. I really want that Spitfire. And the new IL2...
CanadaOne Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I am so weak. Had a really good day at work, finished early, came home and bought BOK. I blame Shamrock. 3
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I am so weak. Had a really good day at work, finished early, came home and bought BOK. I blame Shamrock. You're welcome! Now you get to check out the new IL-2, the FW190A-5, Bf109G-4, He111H-16 and the Spitfire VERY soon!
CanadaOne Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 You're welcome! Now you get to check out the new IL-2, the FW190A-5, Bf109G-4, He111H-16 and the Spitfire VERY soon! That FW190 A5 is a beast! And I love the new IL2. Not to forget the Bf110 G-2. Indeed I did not forget it. It makes a satisfying thud when it hits the ground after being filled with 37mm goodness from my new Il2.
Yogiflight Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Take care, it isn't the other way round, when the G-2 is equipped with the 37 mm BK or the 20 mm fuselage gunpod.
CanadaOne Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I consider the Bf110s to make wonderful lawn darts.
CanadaOne Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Amongst other planes, yes. I find the Bf110 to be a somewhat... evil, and I enjoy turning them into non-functional ornaments people can display in front of their houses, use as ashtrays, or cut up and sold for scrap metal to finance the next beer run. In fact, I might go lawn dart a few right now.
