BladeMeister Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Jason_Williams Report post Posted 11 hours ago This is not a useful poll. We all know the answer. If I can improve the free tanks to the same level of TC tanks I will. Right now, I cannot. I have always wanted to, but the cost involved are currently prohibitive for such "free" content. Not trying to bust your you know whats here, but please consider this. Any potential TC customer that tries out these free tanks is going to say,"Meh!" these free tanks are ok but if they are representative of the rest of the tanks in TC then I will pass on paying 80$ for the full sim. Most people only believe what they experience firsthand while using a product, i.e, TC. So while the comments people write in this Forum who own TC and like TC may be all well and good, a lot of potential customers, if they even read the TC section of the Forum, will be skeptical that the actual TC sim is that much better than the free tanks which they have already tried. 1C has to be losing a LOT of TC purchases because of this perception. You put the free tanks in IL2 to see what the feedback would be long ago. I am assuming that feedback prompted you to invest in the partnership to produce TC. So you have TC finished(Congradulations!) now and the only free trial(which it is a great idea that you have a free trial at all) you have are two very popular WWII tanks that are lacking in development and performance from the rest of the superb TC tank lineup. You obviously are a smart businessman so I do not understand how you cannot see that it is overdue to pony up, bite the bullet and finish these two tanks to the proper level to help sell TC, unless TC is a finished venture and you are moving on. I am assuming it isn't obsolete, maybe incorrectly, and that TC is still a viable product for you, and that being said, you are already half way to the deep end of the pool! Take the plunge, get all wet and that will hopefully push TC to a wider audience and more sales. IMHO, for what it is worth, as a well pleased TC early access customer, this is not a good business model and misrepresents what TC actually has to offer in game play, technology and future development if TC were to be expanded. Please understand that this is not an insult hurled at you by an irate dissatisfied customer. It is exactly the opposite, it is an outside observation from a customer well pleased with TC so far, and also the rest of IL2 GBS, CLOD and FC also, that would very much love to see TC expanded with a TC2 title someday. Sometimes you can't see a way through the forest from afar, but once you get up close to its' boarder there is a path and you find your way through to the other side. If TC has a future then invest in it by completing the free tanks and when you come out the other side of the forest, you can take France by storm! This is an observation, not a bunch of baited questions, so if you choose no response, it would be quite understandably acceptable. My 2 cents! This is an encouragement post so if anyone feels the need to post after this, Please Keep It Positive and Constructive. Thanks in advance. S!Blade<>< P.S. I know it is not that simple, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and push on through! 1 1 2
Koenigstiger Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Hello tankers, it is a characteristic of the human species that most are not satisfied with what they use - provided that these products are improved and are available in newer and improved forms. I think this applies in particular to weapons and equipment among us men, who we have (had to) go to war or have been sent to war for thousands of years. That's just evolution, without which we would still live in caves. Since I've been building tank models for over 50 years, I can also say here that the model builders always particularly like the tanks, which are getting bigger and better in development. In addition, most people want an individual model with which they can meet the requirements in their imagination or which they like the most in terms of shape and features. This also includes "what if" models of so-called "paper tanks", i.e. models that might have been planned or that would have appeared in later development. It would therefore make sense for TC to provide a free tank pool in this regard - as already done - but still offer new tanks or newer versions of the existing tanks for a fee - as with the maps. This would give every player the opportunity to sniff the basic version and then - depending on their wallet and requirements - either upgrade their tanks or purchase new models. This game conveys extraordinary impressions and in my opinion is only at the beginning - but for me it is already the best tank simulation! I therefore wish the producers and developers a lot of courage and commitment to continue to amaze us. Good luck and "null Problemos" Guenther
