Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 I'll probably end up preordering it next pay period, wont get to fly it before i leave but oh well, it'll be something to look forward to when I get back.

ED Team NineLine Posted January 17, 2018 ED Team Posted January 17, 2018 Will the final version include a campaign for F-18? Because i dont want to pay 60$ to flying vs nothing... No info has been shared on campaigns yet. I am sure there will be a lot of good content for it by the time it releases. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
kontiuka Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Will the final version include a campaign for F-18? Because i dont want to pay 60$ to flying vs nothing...Included campaigns have kind of become passé unfortunately but understandably since a quality campaign takes a lot of effort and would make the module more expensive. From what I've seen, there will be a slew of single and instant action missions and I imagine a ton of training missions.
JUICE-AWG Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 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 :) But as with the A-10C in Pre-Purchase...do we get the F/A-18C Campaigns for free like we did with the Warthog?:pilotfly: "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets."

aileron Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Great. They probably need to update the FAQ regarding campaigns... as it appears some folk expect one.
shonist Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The ones who were able to afford a system that can handle the F18........? yup, the same ones like me that are still paying for that machine with all the rest of their monthly payment going to the credit card. i preordered nonetheless :pilotfly: I7 7700k - Msi Z270 Gaming+ GTX 1070ti 16gb @2400 2x Samsung 850EVO 250/500 - 1x HDD 1TB SAITEK-MAD CATZ CYBORG FLY 5 STICK WIN 10

From what I've seen, there will be a slew of single and instant action missions and I imagine a ton of training missions. Campaigns expectations have become quite high, and the getting the quality people expect takes a lot of work, much of this has been pushed off to 3rd Party campaign builders, I dont know what the Hornet will come with in the end, but I can bet it will be the subject matter of a number of campaigns from others.

Bullant Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Wags updated the FAQ to say that he "can't say anything more about the carriers at this point". The question about the hornet/carrier bundle has been asked many times and my guess is that that is the answer. i.e. they don't know.

hansangb Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 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! Remember, ED has sales all the time. So I wouldn't sweat it, 13B! :D Fire for effect!....

hansangb Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I bought, but will I still live before I see it on my computer? Preorder in DCS World has not lasted so much time (half a year?), Gentlemen want to beat a new record. It is a pity that it is. I am glad that there is already a preorder, but how many years have we been waiting for it? It's a bit embarrassing, there is nothing to be enjoyed so much, timing is not a strong side of ED. :( I hear you, I want it *RIGHT NOW* too. But you can just ignore the pre-purchase and buy it later. And ED has sales all the time. I see it as contributing to ED's liquid cash to run their business. So if you consider how much they have invested, I think it's a worthy investment. And not at all unreasonable to do the early purchase. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 When are you leaving? No exact date yet but I'm about 99% sure it'll be before the EA releases. No big, its something to look forward to!
Hermit713 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I preordered.... I also have almost all the modules.... so for me, I don't mind. latest for me: harrier AV-8B. I feel this one could wait until lots of things were fixed before Beta release. Sometimes PRE order, and Beta doesn't really live up to expectations. I think I would have waited with the harrier, until it was sorted better.... but one doesn't know until they get some seat time... the issues at hand. Just something to think about. Edited January 18, 2018 by Hermit713
Hermit713 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I believe the F/A 18c will be shipped with basic flight controls and min. combat readiness. Not a bad thing, but sometimes it is good to know, so expectations will be realistic.
Max_Rogue Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I pre-ordered last night. Don't regret it now, and when I'm spending my time learning the basic systems like the back of my hand, I'm sure I also won't regret it. Good thing I have a job that keeps me pretty busy, so the time will fly. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cotoi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 The pre-order is the best deal you will get for F/A-18 for a while (1-1.5 year from release), to get an even lower price then this you will have to wait about 2 years from release. The question you need to ask is if you plan to fly the plane in the next 2 years or not. Because if you do, you may as well pre-order. I am not that hyped about this plane to be honest but I pre-order it anyway. first I wanted to support the developers of the best military fly sim, 2nd I want this particularly plane to be a big hit because it is the reason some new systems are implemented in DCS, and I want them to be implemented very well because the future F16 that is on hold for the moment, will make a very good use of those systems.

Svend_Dellepude Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 This is kind of a nobrainer... The question is: Do you want the F-18 or not? If yes, do you want to pay 60$ or 80$?

Cotoi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 So i didnt understand, will F-18 module include campaigns? Im a pilot, who preffer to fly campaign, and Im sure that there are a lot of pilots like me, who want to play campaigns and who dont like to play multi. So the question is very important. What will DCS say about F-18 campaigns? I didn't see anything about a campaign, but I am ready to bet that we will get som SP mission beside training, and I am also ready to bet that we will get 3rd party campaign later on. And yes you are not alone, from all DCS pilots, only 29% are in to pvp.

Sephyrius Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Would be kinda weird if there was no campaign, since then they'd be charging more while cutting content at the same time. Gonna wait til there's word on a bundle rather than risk purchasing the hornet, carriers and/or strait all separately.
Flamin_Squirrel Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Would be kinda weird if there was no campaign, since then they'd be charging more while cutting content at the same time. Content is NOT getting cut. Both campaigns and modules are getting more complex and this has a cost associated with it.
JCav Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 As excited as I've been waiting for the F-18 to come out, at $80, you're out of your mind. There is ZERO chance I support DCS with prices such as that. And no - I don't consider "but it's $20 off right now" to be a valid argument. They're still attempting to claim $80 is a normal price, so screw that. 1
