Myleniskaya Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi all, I did some research, but I couldn't find any information about the deadline to pre-order the HIND. I want to buy it, but with covid etc .. is important to manage money, so I prefer to organize myself for leisure expenses Thx in advance [sIGPIC]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/208281dombannire2Copie.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felthat Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) When EA starts (and we dont know, when that happens ) "The Mi-24P Early Access is planned for release in the 2nd quarter of 2021." this is as accurate as currently available Edited May 3, 2021 by felthat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrov Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yeah, all we know is that it goes into early access sometime in this quarter. So either tomorrow or at the end of June. If you know for sure that you're gonna get it, it's best to pre-order it now-ish so you don't miss the 30% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleniskaya Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Ok so no deadline announced, thx for reply =] Yep, I got it now, cause if I miss 30% discount, I eat salt for a moment haha 1 [sIGPIC]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/208281dombannire2Copie.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBlue Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Don't worry, there will be an announced release date, before that video's, tutorials, marketing etc. They won't just drop it on a random OB update, never happened before! You'll have plenty of time to pre-order. 3 i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krez Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There was no warning, IIRC, when the A-10CII and the F-16 pre-order ended. The modules went into EA immediately after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yeah, if they've kept on the same lead-up as the Viper and Hornet, Wags will have a string of tutorial videos just before it goes EA. I don't remember much of a concrete date ever given out, though.

Dragon1-1 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Viper didn't have a lead-up, but that didn't end well, so hopefully ED learned from it. The A-10 update did, IIRC, though it did come a little out of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmidtfire Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Im not going to buy it unseen, so hopefully there will be a few detailed videos (not only trailers) before the EA starts. That's how it was done for DCS back in the day, but seems like we get to see less and less content before release nowdays Edited May 6, 2021 by Schmidtfire 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Despite I thought I was going to relax and take a break...ehhh...just spend some money on the Hind, Syria, P47, A10-II and some more LoL Can't wait to fly this beast. ...and btw, I am usually against Pre-Release or Beta launches in general but ED hasn't let me down yet when it comes to delivering. It may take a year longer, or two...but eventually we get clouds...and ATC...and all the rest ( multi threading and DynCamp ). looking forward Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsTerminus Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The assumption when they say "Q2" is that first you ask "of which year?" and then you assume it will release on the last Wednesday of that quarter. So in 2021 that's June 30. Kate has committed that all modules will go out to "Independent Reviewers" at least one week ahead of launch, and often times there are some lead-in videos from Wags as well. Plus we should get a newsletter the Friday before it releases confirming the plan. So at least in my opinion it's safe to wait. See what the YouTubers say about it and then get your pre-order in on the Monday before it releases if you're happy with what you see. That's my plan anyway.

Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think it was said on the Russian side of the forums that the Mi-24 would not be going out to content creators before release, but they will do some videos internally for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from cinematic appearances there have been videos iirc with the devs discussing and showing off weaponry for quite some time. https://stormbirds.blog/2021/01/09/new-dcs-mi-24p-information-translated-from-russian-interview/ Check SB's blog post, the video link has lots to look at from about 1:20:00 onwards and SB has re-stated the translation offered from Russian to put in context what they are showcasing Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already seen that video In my opinion, it is not enough footage to jump into EA. I want to see "Petrovich AI" in action, how the guided missiles works, sounds, navigation, the multiseat functionality etc. A meaty presentation with few edits what to expect on Day 1. For all we know there might be 6-36 months of frustrations in store... Worst case scenario I can wait until there is a sale down the line. But I think it is a very reasonable to ask for a proper showcase before it is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Modules are not usually discounted until many many moths after their initial release. I'm sure that the Hind will have a lot of bugs and a lot of things not implemented yet ... but I'm interested on a new helo and don't mind if it is not perfect on release, after all it is not that expensive, I used miles for the purchase and it ended up costing me US$ 39 .. A trip to the hairdresser for my wife is more expensive than that .. so, I purchased it without a second tought. 2 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...

At this point they might not have said anything because they aren't sure anymore, or they don't want to spoil the release. Guess we'll just have to wait?

"Yes, ED commits to giving all future modules to independent reviewers one week prior to the Early Access review." Seems pretty clear to me. @BIGNEWY or @NineLine can we get confirmation that the Hind will be going out to third parties for review prior to release?

I will say there is always a chance, though, that this will not be the case. This comment was made a year ago, and in a rather informal setting. Overall the chances say they will release it early to reviewers unless they are planning on making it a big reveal, but you never know for sure in the end. I'm split between holding my breath each week to hear an announcement and fully expecting it to not come out until mid-late June, possibly even early July, but the amount of good progress we'd been hearing just before they went quiet makes me hopeful, and attention was taken away with the 2.7.1 update.

vsTerminus Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 So I got an answer from 9L on reddit. Not lookin' good. Basically he doesn't think there will be a press build but after sending him the link I posted above he's going to ask Kate about it. Guess we'll hear back at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/niszfn/dcs_mi24p_hind_introduction/gz4e5ed/?context=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1-1 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I believe its in discount mode until release. So if they tell you theres an end date, think of it as its probable release date. Last time I picked up a module in discount (pretty much all of them), they were discounted up until release. Correct me if Im wrong.
