Squeaky Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Question regarding how buying the smaller moduels works. You said the small ones will add up to the release of a big one. If I bought all of the smaller ones (CQ, AC and NW)would I get a discount on the release of the big one (Midway Inv)? Either way looks incredible and I'll absolutely be getting that B17 when its released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they will be priced in a way so that when you buy them all you will have paid the total price for the full module. At least that's the plan. We want to try and keep it simple for everyone.

Boo Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Enterprise looks really nice even at this early stage. Very exciting times. All Patroned up and onboard for the rest of the journey!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFM Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 B-17!! I don't care who made it, as long as it's been made and we'll be able to strap it on. I'm jazzed on every aspect of the Midway release, and then Solomons/Guadalcanal? Hell yes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticpuma Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) Patreon £25 UK + Vat is £30 vs $25 US So the UK pays $39.10 for the same access? If this was a physical purchase delivered and shipped, that would be understandable, but it's a digital online product and forum. Disappointing.

I hope there will be a „buy everything“ button in the store that just completes ones library instead of having to go though what one has so far etc. Especially individual plane mudules that also are part of some bundles just create a mess. It sure looks promising! I sure noticed the „russian“ horizon on the HUD. Old habits, huh? Looking at the plane modules, where two of the three planes that are presented are either of long (Zero) and extremely long endurance (B17), much of the game will depend on how gameplay allows time compression (time accelleration/jump to waypoint/autopilot) to really capitalize on those assets and not succumb to plain airquake (that will always be one way of playing the game). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a total of £24.09 for the Patreon (includng the $5.00 tax Patreon adds). It might work out a little more than our friends over the water pay but our cheese is better so swings and roundabouts...

BlitzPig_EL Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) B-17, and the correct early model!!! Wow!!! Now I can see if I can do better than the real ones during the Midway engagement. (Hint, I won't be level bombing from altitude.) Edited October 18 by BlitzPig_EL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a 30% markup just for convenience I find on the high side as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticpuma Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Hmmmm "We did not build this model ourselves".... coincidentally, Team Fusion are building a B-17 for "Fortresses and Focke Wulfs"? I wonder if some work is going on in the background to bring other members of TFS over to CP? 🤔 Either way, it's great news for Combat Pilot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some work is going on in the background to bring other members of TFS over to CP? 🤔 Either way, it's great news for Combat Pilot. Mind you, TF are making an -E with Bendix turret (at least that's what has been shown on their side so far) instead of an -F with Sperry as seen on Jason's video. Their Fort is also supposed to have only some of crew stations modelled and implemented. Ironically, -E would be more correct match for Midway, but -F is better suited for later Solomons scenario. Granted, maybe some cooperation is taking place indeed, but, as explained, more info will be revealed to us in due time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enceladus Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Loved the video, Jason! Can't wait to bomb carriers and possibly Rabaul in the future with the B-17! Will the B-26 be flyable? 1 Quote Author of Liars in the Cockpit?

Talisman Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) Great stuff! Thanks a lot. Very nice surprise. I look forward to purchasing the smaller modules along the way as soon as they are available.

But a 30% markup just for convenience I find on the high side as well. @Mysticpuma @ZachariasX. Im likely missing something but Im failing to see the drama. From what I gathered I paid it was $25.00 plus $5.00 sales tax which, I understand is something out of CPs control and based on where we, the patron, is in the world (CP being a commercial entity not a Git hub modder). So $30.00 total. Looking at my paypal that has equated to £24.09 at their exchange rate and this is what was debited from my account. As far as I can tell thats neither $39.10 (£30.01) nor a 30% (£32.50) mark up on the true GBP/Dollar exchange rate (£23.02). Its a bit less favourable than the true exchange rate but I'll happily sacrifice the £1 odd difference for the sake of clicking 1 button.
