Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was shocked to see that it is available for prepurchase however it was disappointing that the early access isn't until the end of spring. Not in EDs part by any means, I will be deploying in early spring and wont get to fly it until late fall when I get back stateside! :doh::doh::doh: Not sure if I want to prepurchase now for the $20 off or wait till I get back and see if it goes on sale at all, I have been eagerly awaiting this module!

kontiuka Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 well, unless you have something else to spend $60 on, you might as well get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoLlasa Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If you know you are going to want it, and you don't want to have to wait for a sale (or pay full price) when you return and are ready for it, then support ED and pre-order now would be my suggestion if you can do so financially. ED doesn't run sales like they used to, and this module likely won't see a sale any better than the current pre-order price for a while as it is in a way a flagship module. So i think now is the best price for a while probably for the rest of the year if not longer.

Gate-5 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'd preorder, you get 20$ off and can use it as soon as you have time for it without waiting for a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldViPer Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was shocked to see that it is available for prepurchase however it was disappointing that the early access isn't until the end of spring. Like Wags has said many times, end of spring is only the worst case scenario so we may access it earlier.

Rudel_chw Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The Module also includes US$ 16 in bonus points, in addition to the US$ 20 discount, that you could use on the future towards the purchase of Campaigns :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoPus Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Preorder of course! In this way you get the best price for the module for the next 2 years ( I can't see why ED would make discounts over a fresh - and so resource hungry - module sooner than that ) and support ED doing their amazing stuff. Get it now! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 For me, it's a question of spending $60 now, or $80 later... so preorder. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmerdylan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was tempted to purchase it this morning when I saw that it was in pre order but then I remembered that I need to see how 2.5 is going to work on my pooter first. I don't have a high end rig and am a little worried about how 2.5 will run on it, so I'll buy it as soon as I find out how 2.5 runs. If it doesn't do well.......there's no reason to drop any more $$$ into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom453 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'd like to take advantage the pre-order, but there is no info or option about purchasing the F/A-18C and new Nimitz-class carrier together as a package? From the "DCS: F/A-18C Hornet FAQ" thread, which was only updated yesterday: (12 Jan 18) "Q: Will the Hornet come with a new, highly-detailed Nimitz-class aircraft carrier with new features and functionality never seen before in DCS World? A: These will be two separate modules, but we plan to provide a bundle deal that includes both. We currently plan a less-detailed version that will be a free part of DCS World.". So will this bundle-deal be available during the pre-order? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airj247 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I think the good part about this is that we all have a lot of time to decide. So no need to rush buying it right now. (especially if you can't afford it) I was inverted B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker69 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 As soon as I have read abought the pre-purchase of this "flying dream" I decided in the time of 1ms to buy the module. I've got a lot of respect for money but even more respect for people... expecially for those people who work hard for so many time to create this level of simulation. So thank You ED Team.. go ahead to the objective.. release the new DCS 2.5 and work asap for F/A-18 release date... :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/139168989452694/about/ ASUS ROG - TM Hotas Warthog - TM Hotas Cougar - TM F-18 Grip - Oculus Rift S - Track IR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danneskjold Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 For $80, the most expensive DCS module yet, I expected it to come with an aircraft carrier. I will be taking a hard look at purchasing it, even with it being $20 off (for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
