Question about dynamic campaign in BOS

[GTOAviator]

Hey all,

 

I've been a fan of 1C and 777 since before I was a commercial pilot. Work has slowed down a little and I'm looking to put my crispy new Oculus Rift to good use on an IL-2 title. But here's my question - I understand that you need to own BOS before purchasing BOM or BOK. Will the newest version of BOS come with the dynamic campaign or is it only available for the Kuban map? One of the biggest attractions for me is the dynamic campaign, which kept me going in Rise of Flight.

You do not need BoS to buy BoM or BoK if you buy on their website. On steam you need BoS because Steam requires a base game to add expansions to. 

 

BoS, BoM and BoK all come with their respective Pilot Career mode so you are free to choose.

[GTOAviator]

Thank you for the clarity Psyrion! I didn't know about the Steam restriction.

 

Regarding the pilot career, I'm only talking about the dynamic career. I don't want anything scripted, like the campaigns that were available earlier.

[Gambit21]

The campaign/career is not dynamic.

[busdriver]

Well the new career system is NOT scripted. But it's NOT dynamic either...the flow of the campaigns is still historically correct. So they're all unscripted historical campaigns.

[Psyrion]

I was refering to the "dynamic" career aswell. Maybe I should have just called it that but I understand dynamic as the player having an effect on the outcome of i.e. the war. 

Should have been more clear on that. 

 

BoS, BoM and BoK all have the Rise of Flight style career mode.

 

On thing to add with Steam is that after you have BoS on Steam you can buy anything else on Steam or the IL-2 website because your Steam and IL-2 account get linked.

Thanks for all the speedy replies! When I say "dynamic", I just mean not scripted.

 

Anyway, does anyone know if the 25% discount that's currently being offered can be applied to Steam purchases?

[Psyrion]

The discount code is only for the IL-2 Store if I read the announcement right.

The career mode may be best understood as being semi-dynamic: you cannot affect the outcome of the war or the movement of the front lines, but the composition of your particular squadron is certainly dynamic: pilots come and go, can be injured and hospitalized/killed/captured, damaged planes will reduce the number of sorties, etc.

Im pretty certain that it's NOT for Steam GTOAviator..I believe it's store only pal.

I remember reading that we can transfer our IL-2 Store purchases to Steam if we want. In otherwords, I actually prefer launching through Steam (I like the tracking and visibility with my friends). Can we still do this?

 

Disregard, I figured it out. Thank you everyone for the information! I am now a proud owner of IL-2 BoS. Now to set up this Oculus Rift...

That´s a good decision. Much to see and experience in BoS. However the full glory you get once you start your career with your squadron in Moscow 10/41 and slug it out all trough Kuban 10/43.
