TWC_Ace Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Battle of Normandy with planes which share (more or less ) 3d models with existing planes. I knew nothing from PTO, this engine and netcode is struggling online. Edited November 26, 2019 by =VARP=Tvrdi
IndianJones Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 This is very exciting news - I can't wait to fly a Tiffy over my home town!
BMA_FlyingShark Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Like many of you, I'm very happy with the plane set. And as for the Pacific, although I hope we get there some day, I was actually quietly hoping to get D-Day before going there anyway. You'll have my support. Have a nice day. 2
kestrel79 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Really liking the plane set wow! Map looks good too. Western Front is very popular so I'm glad they are sticking with it hopefully will get more attention and eyes on this great sim 2

Ribbon Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Pacific in 4+years yeeey! Well here my support stops, was buying everything so far (except TC) to support PTO. Luckly spit.xiv is collector plane and rest of the preorder planes and BoN i'll skip. Time to redirect money to mtb bike parts! I still think this dev team is best out there and wish them luck!

HerrBree Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I was really hoping to get MTO cus the prospect of glide bombing ships from a million miles away seemed cool. But with the Me 410 and the ju88c6 coming Im not sure I care about anything else at the moment
KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I would also take some Ju87 D5 as collector plane. Seriously, it saw action on all fronts. 3
SCG_motoadve Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Like the ETO decsion. Lost of options to do with this maps. Great plane set. Instant Pre buy, plus the collector planes. Just please make a grey sky and fix the current overcast to give the proper English channel atmosphere, it will add lots to the immersion. 4 1

While Monty's hanging around Caen the Yanks are going to fall off the bottom of the map pretty sharpish. 1 1 1
[DBS]TH0R Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) A logical next step, and easiest way to build up funds for even greater things later on. Especially if they go into the (to me at least) most interesting features such as better MP GUI and Air Marshal mode. And especially improving this engine and some of its limitations... Fingers crossed for B-25 and B-26 as fliables. ? Edited November 26, 2019 by [DBS]TH0R 6
HappyHaddock Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 well I've no particular interest in WWII and always said that possibly the only thing that might tempt me out of the cockpit of the sopwith camel would be a mossie… Is it a sign of weakness to give in? 3 3
=RvE=SirScorpion Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 We need a Heavy Allied bomber, B17, B-24, Lank, I dont care which one but we do need at least One heavy bomber 3 1 7
IRRE_Axurit Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 This is a very good announcement for me. Normandy is an exelent choice. The plane set is exelent. And this card can be declined in 4 versions. After / post DDay Battle of Britain And WW1 version I hope the AI planes will be a flyable day. I will finally be able to fly over France !!! 1
unreasonable Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I am very happy about this choice! Not only does it fill out the western plane set, in particular the RAF planes, but the map could be usable for WW1 scenarios as well. (With a NML version). It covers much of the old RoF maps' area.
ROCKET_KNUT Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) FINALLY, a BIG Thank You Devs! Switches Credit-card-mode to "Full-Auto-Fire" and pulls the trigger... Switches back to announcement notes, checks a/c list... reads "...M O S Q U I..." and faints completely Get your brushes and the black and white paint out guys! See you gentlemen over the beach! ???

=27=Davesteu Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Can't say I'm looking forward to this. Yet again not the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre you committed to Too many rehashed aircraft Yet again no playable Allied bomber Personally not very interested in the Channel Front As of now, I can't see myself backing it. Nonetheless: The best of luck! 3 3
19RAF_MJDixon Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 A Mustang III and a Mosquito and a Typhoon and a Spitfire XIV, oh it's beautiful. 2
Blooddawn1942 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 To be honest, I would also have preferred the Pacific but alas, Normandy is also a damn interesting theater. Besides the 109 and 190 it's an very thrilling planeset and the map is huge! With the upcoming Hurricane and the Existing AC we can even pretend fighting the Battle of Britain. The map offers lots of opportunities. I just hope they invest a little more love in the map building since the Rhineland map is quiet sterile to be honest. 5
dburne Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I can't really tell, does the pre-order of the Premium BON include the two collector planes or are they sold separately?
ITAF_Rani Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Hope night fighting with radar will be implemented and hoping also for same " heavy" to cross the channel ready for bombing 1 2

ZachariasX Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Ha! who would have thought. Got Normandy and the three collectors planes, Yak's and the Hurri. In the (discounted) premium, I suppose the spit14 & arado should be included? as they are usually in the "premium" editions?

Yes it is confirmed the two collector planes are included. 1
US63_SpadLivesMatter Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Was really hoping for PTO, but can understand why they went this way. PTO was going to be a pre-order for me; but really going to have to consider if I'll be getting this one or not. Maybe just grab a collector? I don't know. Little surprised that the C-47 won't be flyable though.

ITAF_Rani Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Certainly with this map ... there will be the famous 1941 Raf-Luftwaffe clash over the channel 1 2
Pajeka Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Fantastic news! Great plane set, no hesitation - pre-ordered!!
Gort Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Very cool. We're working East to West. Battle of Britain next, followed by the Battle of the Atlantic, then the Attack on New York.

The aircraft are interesting and although they look very similar, they are not. The Mosquito is an allied bomber and is planned to be playable. Nobody said the AI planes won't get playable later. Jason also said he'll comment on the Pacific like when BoBP was announced so keep yer fingers crossed. Please stay on board. Have a nice day. 2 12
40plus Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Normandy..... yes Mosquito...... Yes! ME-410....... YES!!!!!! Purchased!!!
