We use Dinars in the States now? No wonder my dollars aren't worth crap anymore..... Sorry I had to..

NP.

OK, so a bit more digging shows that the $95 is for the premium (altogether - oooooooh!) and the standard edition runs at anywhere between $50 - 60. So for that extra $45, what do you get?

a special label inside the game interface next to their nickname which will stand out from the other players in multiplayer mode.

Edit - forgot to say 1C can take this pricing strategy and manoeuvre it into a tight fitting space where lies a permanent shadow, particularly the bit about no upgrade from standard to premium. I imagine 777 are possibly regretting getting into bed with 1C.

Some videos for you to enjoy :salute:

My IL2 Battle of Stalingrad playlist.

Wow 2 whole extra aircraft AND a label that identifies you as gullible. What an incentive. :nope: If 1C can find room next to their heads, the pricing model might fit in.

The video is not as impressive as the Team Fusion CloD videos going around.

That and the fact that you get to play it several months before it's released...

And anyway, the money goes towards the game's development. That's the reason I pre-ordered.

Great, you get to play the alpha between 2-5 weeks ahead of others. I glad you think it's worth the extra. I have to earn my money and can't justify spending it on this. :03:

The game's being released in Q2 2014. That's 4 months away, not 2-5 weeks. The whole point of the alpha testing is to make sure that the game isn't another CloD. And I have to earn my money too. My parents aren't idiots who buy expensive stuff for me out of idiots own pockets.

And I'm sure the 3000 other people who preordered had to earn the money themselves as well.

I'm not convinced insults are being traded here but more a case of one or two people being frank about their opinions.

Your premium gets you a maximum of 5 weeks (and a few days) over those who preordered the standard edition, who then join in the alpha. A minimum of a week and a half.

I assume CloD was also alpha and beta tested?

For which I wholeheartedly retract my comment. :up:

No insult was being directed at you. I wasn't saying that you were gullible although I can see how you make that conclusion. I was commenting on the 1C pricing and marketing and not your activities. I don't see the extra value for the money.

What I said about the video was not directed at your production or editing skills. It was directed at the game graphics. I've seen other videos of the game, where much more time and effort was spent on production and would say the same thing. The game is not all that impressive IMO.
Perhaps I should have been clearer in my comments. Using subsim on my phone as I was at the time means I tend to snap breifer posts off than at my PC.

If you still feel that insulted, then I suggest you put me in your ignore list.

I have a policy of not allowing myself to be upset by anything other people post here. I also have a policy of not apologising for anything that I say here. If anyone has a problem with what I post I'm happy to either argue my case or have the moderators sort it out.

I believe most of us come to Subsim for the fun and community. A part of this community is sometimes reading things you don't agree with or that might be construed as being close to the bone. In life you have to deal with a lot of things that may be uncomfortable and you have to grow a thick enough hide to deal with them.

In online communities, reputation is all you have as currency and I stand by mine and my integrity. I will always be frank and forthright in my comments so expect nothing less from me.

Fair enough. I agree that the graphics aren't as good as CloD with TF 4.0.

Although it does mean that I don't have to put my graphics settings all the way down to have smooth gameplay, which is nice.

But Clod with TF 4.0 is definitely better in the eye-candy department :up:

Sorry to reply to an older post but...

Bf-109 E-7/Bs took part in the battle.

:woot:

Here's a list of when stuff will be added to the alpha:

Can't wait for that 109 :Kaleun_Salivating:

And of course, guns in this combat flight simulator would be nice as well :shifty:

If I had champagne, I'd be drinking it right now :cool:
