CanadaOne Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 As of today, is it "just" the Tiger and the KV-1 that are out? Any other goodies?
CanadaOne Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Oh well, too late. Just bought it. 1
Haza Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Well I bought it way back in July 2018 and currently we only really have the Tiger and Kv-1 after 6 months. However i wish now that i had just waited for the actual release date as to be honest the $10 discount and still only getting 2 tanks is hardly something I will jump at with any other release! I would suggest others wait until some more tanks are released before you part with your money, as I would sooner watch paint dry after 6 months! Regards Edited January 15, 2019 by Haza 2
CanadaOne Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah, the pickings are a bit slim for TC for now, and the $10 off at that price doesn't really mean much. Honestly I don't think it means anything other than making it look like it's $10 off when $69 is really the price in any case. Kind of like those stores that have "LIQUIDATION SALE!!!" on their window for years and years. That said, the quality of the TC product, like all BOX products, looks first rate and I reeeeeeally want that new map. I much prefer new maps to new planes. And I don't mind if the devs end up with some more of my money. BOX has a premium price, but it's also a premium product and they seem to always be adding to it in unexpected ways that make it well worth the investment. A little plane action, a little tank action, and who knows, maybe speed boats on the river are next. That could be fun. Maybe I'll go blow something up before work in my new Tiger. 1 1 1

Therefore, I'm really looking forward to either of the flak gun vehicles, as that will be amazing (OK perhaps more fun than amazing) to be able to perhaps control these items in a full scale all arms MP server! Indeed even in CLOD you could control the flak guns, although the guns sights were very basic, so I'm sure these new additions will be a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the Tiger/KV and indeed I pre-purchased FC with perhaps the same mind-set you have regarding TC and the actual product quality, but if money is tight for those out there, you are not missing much, although I would certainly encourage you to buy it eventually, but don't stress at the moment about missing out. Anyway, just thought I would clarify. Regards 2

Dogbert1953 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I have been having some fun today on a MP server, aircraft & tanks. Got taken out from the air in my cat, three times. Then joined as the Soviets, in a KV1 and was killed by another tank. Went back in using a T34 and got killed by the same player again. ? ? Mike.
