Diggun 1300 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Best possible choice in my mind. Already pre-ordered and can't wait for the new British kites! Between this map and bobp, it should be possible to run an raf career from 1941 (hurricane) to the end of the war. Amazing. Also pre-ordered a hurricane and a yak 9. Fantastic early Christmas present. Thank you so much Dev team! Link to post Share on other sites

danielprates 580 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) There is no big difference imho between the he111 and the b25 or b26, engine-wise. Besides the possibility of the b25 becoming flyable was already mentioned before in official channels. I remember at least it coming up in that multi-part interview about 6 months ago. Why don't we ask the man himself? Hey @Jason_Williams! We know, no promises, but a flyable c47 or even b26 is within the realm of possibilities?

timothy55 20 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 My guess was exactly right, I knew the chance of Normandy being the next project was pretty high. Iam already pretty excited at the thought of a MK 14 Spitfire , Mosquito , a Mustang B/C-I thought was a long shot but there you are, Typhoon-yes,another BF109 and FW190-bring it on. But before that collector planes , and I will purchase those in the next few days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ShamrockOneFive 3769 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Great news! This makes a ton of sense to me as the Normandy and Bodenplatte titles dovetail beautifully together and content between the two enhance the overall experience. I don’t know which aircraft here I’m more excited about! A great list of types that I’ve wanted to see for a very long time. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Leifr 395 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) As several others have expressed I was also hoping for the Pacific to finally arrive, however I understand that more time (and resources) are evidently required in that push. Normandy is a logical next-step, one that can serve as a precursor to Bodenplatte and also open up operations from 1941 onwards across the Channel - rhubarbs and circuses for everyone! It will however be the final module I purchase from the team, unless the Pacific is a guarenteed release after BoN. Edited November 26, 2019 by Leifr Link to post Share on other sites

Also paying for AI models. I'm pretty disappointed with the plane line up, I just want some american bombers. The Mosquito is brand new, as is the Arrado. The 410 is quite different from the 110. There's the same number of 'flyable' aircraft in this package as previously, with the added AI models for campaign functionality. Its 10 bucks more expensive, but they can't keep selling the game for the same price year after year, inflation is a b****. The fighters are all variants of what we've seen before, its true. But its no different from Battle of Kuban, where you had 109s and 190s similar to before, the Yak-7 was similar to the Yak-1 and 1b, etc. So you get roughly the same mix of purely new airframes to variants as some previous titles. The planes are different enough that they're worth buying IMO, though I don't think I'll pre-order right away. I will probably wait until we see some of the planes I want to be flyable. They'll have to be satisfied with my Hurricane pre-order money in the new year. Got no money right now for myself anyway, gotta play Santa Clause at Christmas. 😄 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
