Warex Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Heya, hope this is the right forum to ask, but i'm thinking of buying some modules & terrain. But is it worth it to wait for a potential summer sale? Has there been one every summer? - Warex Edited June 12, 2023 by Warex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draconus Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 New modules are never on sale in first year or so. I think it's best to take it with current discount if you want the map. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a just released item go into sale, usually it has to lapse at least a year. To compensate, most new items (not all, for example the MB-339 didn't get any) get an EA discount anyway.

Dragon1-1 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Early on they sometimes made a goof and discounted EA modules on Steam twice. That said, I haven't seen it happen much lately. Sales are useful when you want to grab older stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warex Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Do you guys think Sinai is a good map? I havent tried any but the free one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it really nice, but as it is very new there are no DLC Campaigns for it, and Users have not had yet time to edit missions on Sinai yet .. so, unless you like to edit your own missions I suggest looking at Syria or Persian Golf instead. 6 minutes ago, Warex said: I havent tried any but the free one Which free one? Have you tried Marianas? It's a really nice Map for helos and naval operations.

I'm not even sure how big the main site base install is, but it's on my 1TB C drive SSD and I always have a few hundred GB empty there. My main DCS install from Steam is 520GB and is all alone on it's very own 1TB NVME drive. I only have a few flightsims and one "game", so storage isn't much a problem. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
