1CGS LukeFF Posted August 30, 2013 1CGS Posted August 30, 2013 pre order i made that goof once not again and anyway this is not going to be skill, its going how much $$$ cash you got :wacko: If that was the case, I should be among the ace of aces in ROF.

1CGS BlackSix Posted August 30, 2013 1CGS Posted August 30, 2013 I want to remind you that the IL-2 weapon modification with a rear mounted ShKAS gun will be available from the start to everyone who pre-orders the game before September 1st, 2013. Thanks!
LLv44_Mprhead Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 pre order i made that goof once not again and anyway this is not going to be skill, its going how much $$$ cash you got :wacko: That's great for people like me who have more money than skill (mind you, being like that doesn't take too much money in my case)
Bearcat Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I am glad that opinions are like buttholes.. everyone has one.. but the reality is that the sim will be what it will be.. and it won't be pay to win. It will probably take a lot more skill than many of us will be used to having to marshall. 5
wtornado Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 We will see when we get a hold of the controls and fly the aircraft
Livai Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 In the Russian language there is no distinction between the words Autumn and Fall. Autumn begins on September 1 and ends on November 30. Winter begins on December 1 and ends on February 28. Spring begins on March 1 and ends on May 31. We use these terms in our work. That means for me if you bought the: Premium - Version ---> 1st October 2013 the early access to the game starts for you! Standard - Version ---> 1st January 2014 the early access to the game starts for you! ???Thats right or not??? And were are some nice in-game screenshots from the La-5 or the FW-190 A-3? Cant wait to see or to fly them on the 1st October 2013!!!
theOden Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 . La-5 or the FW-190 A-3? Cant wait to see or to fly them on the 1st October 2013!!! I really don't expect to see them in the early access? Am I in for a surprise?
ImPeRaToR Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 If I am not mistaken LOFT said in the last stream that the early access will feature the two fighters and two assault planes, which I assume means Il2 and Ju87. 1
Matt Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 ???Thats right or not??? If they could've narrowed the release down to a specific day, they wouldn't have used season terms like "autumn" and "winter" i think. And i wouldn't expect the La-5 and FW190 until spring 2014. If they release them sooner, fine aswell. But it would make more sense to finish the 8 normal planes first and work on the two "premium" planes afterwards, to be able to release the game as early as its contents are finished. First they finished the Bf 109-F4 and the Lagg-3. Next plane they were finishing is the Pe-2 (iirc, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the Il-2 hasn't been finished already) and then the next plane will most likely be the Ju-87.
Livai Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 If I am not mistaken LOFT said in the last stream that the early access will feature the two fighters and two assault planes, which I assume means Il2 and Ju87. You have right! I don't found that news where you read it but could be that only that planes what we have seen with the Live-Stream and Preorder-Trailer are finished and flyable? Its not more long to wait and to see. If they could've narrowed the release down to a specific day, they wouldn't have used season terms like "autumn" and "winter" i think.

For premium the narrowed it to 1st October but for the Standard not. Could be that they not started to made the special planes but from the 8 standard planes I have seen screenshots,trailer and live-stream. Its not a big problem----> I hope they not forget to made them?

It is not a cut off date for Premium. The pre-order is alpha or beta. Alpha for Premium. Beta for Standard is my assumption. Only four planes maximum in premium, we will get more as they are ready.

dkoor Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Hi. I just wanted to ask will "Weapon modification with a ShKAS machinegun in the rear" be available 'till Oct 1st for preorders or was it available only 'till Sep 1st? Will it be unlockable by playing the game? I'm interested in this because I still haven't preordered and I didn't fully understood it from: It has been five weeks since we launched the IL-2: BOS pre-order program. We say thanks to everyone who pre-ordered either edition by September 1st! In appreciation of all who have pre-ordered by this date, you will receive two bonuses for your in-game IL-2 aircraft: Weapon modification with a ShKAS machinegun in the rear. Unique camouflage skin. Both these additions will be available to you the very first day when IL-2: BOS is released. The IL-2 skin is unique and cannot be unlocked while playing the game. More good news - we have decided to extend the early-access pre-order program for one more month until October 1st! Over the past few weeks we have revealed more and more information about the project, our technology, the team and our goals. Now many more potential pilots can make an informed decision about BOS and still participate in our pre-order program. We hope they will want to join you in the skies above Stalingrad this year. In addition to extending the pre-order program, anyone who has already placed or will place an order before October 1st will receive a special skin for the Bf-109 F4. This is just one of several other bonuses that will be announced for those that place a pre-order before the deadline. Stay tuned! And finally the biggest news so far - both the Standard and Premium editions of BOS will now include all 8 flyable aircraft as a launching set of aircrafts! We always listen to our community’s opinion and we respect your input and concerns. Therefore we have decided to give all users the Yak-1 and Bf-109 G2 as part of the basic package. The dogfights will surely be epic fun for all. Thanks!
I/JG27_Rollo Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) As far as I understood all the information and announcements so far, the ShKAS will be unlockable for everyone. People who pre-ordered until October 1st will just have it unlocked already. The unique skins can not be gotten in any other way than pre-ordering. Since they are only cosmetic, it should be a fair deal. Edited September 13, 2013 by I/JG27_Rollo

ShKAS would be unlocked FROM THE START just for ppl who preordered before Sept 1st....later preorders will need to unlock them but will receive A SKIN for F4....

I/JG27_Rollo Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Ah, thanks for the clarification. Aside from the date, the other important part should remain: - MG can be unlocked - Preorder-skins can't Edited September 13, 2013 by I/JG27_Rollo
I./JG53_BlackJaguar Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I would like a cigar holder for my Bf 109 G-2 please Edited September 13, 2013 by I./JG53_BlackJaguar
dkoor Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Nope dude. ShKAS would be unlocked FROM THE START just for ppl who preordered before Sept 1st....later preorders will need to unlock them but will receive A SKIN for F4.... Thanks for clarification. Still sounds like a good deal. Would already go Premium but most resources are all transferred to my "Eastern Front", two adorable little twin sisters. I've been blessed to become their father in April this year. But I think I'll still get it by Oct 1st .
Marcomies Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I pre-ordered premium edition on July 26 but activated it only today. Does that mean I will still get ShKAS instantly at the launch or am I now considered a post-september-1st pre-orderer?
dkoor Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) 1. Does buying 30$ joystick or 2000$ stat of the art equipment (joystick, hotas, ruder pads...) also falls in pay to win criteria? its a big difference playing sims on better equipments or just on keyboard/mouse whitch is what i have by default whit my PC when im buying game 2. or if i buy TrackIR and play it in FR server against guy without head tracker do i also "pay to win" as i have big advantage in 6DOF on him buy my hardware, and so on 1. Maybe but you can "kill" without it just fine. 2. You can buy whatever you want but if you don't have experience under your belt you will be owned by guys with lesser or no gear at all (well maybe with battle worn joysticks ). I know that first hand as I've shot down people on serious servers and had absolutely no prob with anyone there as long as I hold my advantages (altitude, energy etc.) which is what you need to do in the first place anyway regardless of equipment. To tell you the truth, I felt only lack of my tracking ability as enemies were constantly slipping and melting into environment which is monitor/lod (line of distance) issue and not some of their miraculous gear-related ability. Should it help to have expensive rudder pedals, great joystick and newest trackIR? Sure. But that is only for a comfort feeling. Nothing will replace experienced steady hand. BTW I also am not fan of buying expensive equipment, I don't tick that way generally. Will get myself some nice setup but to shell out hundreds of $? Nope. Edited October 2, 2013 by dkoor
Jochen Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Not yet decided if I want to board the pre-order boat or wait for release. The Fw.190 is obviously not ready yet and would have been a good incentive. The R7 pod for the Bf.109 warmed me up again. Is there a Founders Bf.109 skin?
Matt Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 There will be a founders skin for the Friedrich. But no discussion or poll about it yet.
Allons Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Is there a Founders Bf.109 skin? Yes, its mostly like the LaGG 3 skin, founders with 1 licence key MUST wear it, founders with 2 or more licenses CAN choose from the default ones Edited October 2, 2013 by Stab/ZG26-Allons
Jochen Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 There will be a founders skin for the Friedrich. But no discussion or poll about it yet. Danke Matt u. Allons!
Allons Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Da nicht für - better pre-order - its worth it..
Ala13_Kokakolo Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Until then you’re welcome to continue pre-ordering the game and receive access to all guaranteed bonuses and other Founder privileges. We've prepared a special gift for everyone who will have purchased a pre-order before it expires. The gift is the R7 weapon modification for Bf.109F-4 - 2х20mm MG151/20 gun pods that you’ll obtain in the game when it’s released. Note that this mod is unique and will only be available by preordering the game and joining the IL2BOS Founders This is simply one of the reasons I am not sure about IL2 BOS. That means all my squad HAVE to preorder the game otherwise we cannot use the gunpods with the F4. We knew this was comming, but for a brief moment we did believe you when you said this was not going to be another Call of Duty with planes... My squad needs a serious combat sim, not a offline orientated war of planes. THanks god we still have DCS. 2
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Call of duty with planes? Seriously, you said that? Wow! Edited October 3, 2013 by =BKHZ=Furbs 1

Just select a different load out, get on with your life, and stop being so dramatic.Also, comments like BoS being like Call of Duty are wrong, deliberately provocative, and will not be tolerated here. Not yet decided if I want to board the pre-order boat or wait for release. The Fw.190 is obviously not ready yet and would have been a good incentive Have faith, have faith. You've seen how great the 109 looks. When the 190 shots start appearing it'll be great. 1

Well, we will have DCS 109 (and also P-51 and FW-190 D-9 in my case) in one year if everything goes well. Meanwhile we will be busy flying/fighting in BoS. Edited October 3, 2013 by ami7b5

I hope the pre-order runs until after this weekend, because I may or may not increase my DCS Kickstarter pledge hoping to make the Me.262 stretch goal. That Russian snow landscape looks stunning and you're right about the Bf.109 shots ... It's great to have two theaters of the WWII air war depicted, and they're more and more equally appealing to me without favouring one. Edited October 3, 2013 by Jochen
Jochen Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Ab zur Front ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wekmV8W0bik See you in the skies over Stalingrad! Edited October 5, 2013 by Jochen
Adebar Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Oh, preordered too late. What a shame, because I am mostly looking forward to fly the IL-2 and I am also not into flying campaigns. Well, let us see, perhaps I will give campaigns a chance. I am excited how the microtransaction system will look and work. For example in RoF you could buy a custoam loadout like rockets for one plane. I am confident everything "geht seinen gerechten Gang".
Allons Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I pre-ordered premium edition on July 26 but activated it only today. Does that mean I will still get ShKAS instantly at the launch or am I now considered a post-september-1st pre-orderer? Is this question answered already? Do we have to ACTIVATE bought keys for gifts? Any idea? Allons!
