1600 Microsoft points
I would pay well for it too.
I think they may be available with the first DLC. So wemay have to be patient.

THey will probably give it out for free after the update like BF BC did because it is now impossible to get it. Plus, its my favorite F/B of WWII, cant wait to fly it. Im waiting on the game so it is perfect when i get it...no bugs or MP cheap shots.

Its been a recent trend to release pre-order stuff in later patches or DLC. Dawn of War 2 did this a little while back in a patch.

The patch isnt gonna make the game perfect, just better. As it is now multiplayer is still a lot of fun if you find a good group of people to play with (most are members here) and you find that your kill scores arn't all important anymore just having a good dogfight with a friend is enough, and thats not even counting the great sp missions and campaigns. Sounds like you really want the game so buy it now man, you're missing out by waiting.
Ok, about the P-47. I wonder how it handles compared to the P51D. It should be worse, but how can it be? At least it should be able to take a pounding and still fly. But I just got a feeling that nobody would use it online.

i do not like this trend what so ever. It's even worse when a company charges for 'DLC', when it's already on the damn disc. So you basically pay for an unlock code.

I personally think that the whole pre-order buisness is a huge con, that people keep falling for time and again. You are 90% gauranteed to get a game that doesnt work right out of the box, and people then turn around and complain about the game.
So in order for people to get suckered in to this "con" they throw them the bone of "extra" content, that in many cases is simply just a reskin of something already in the game and completely pointless.
Now if games actually game working as intended right out of the box then the pre-ordering buisness would be a sound one. But they never do, no software does. Every code has bugs that need fixing, and they slip through due to the tight deadlines, lack off funding, low level QA, and so on.
In IL2's case, it pretty much does work out of the box with no crashes and no major gamebreaking bugs. There are a few issues, but its really just tweaking rather than huge bug squashing that most titles seem to need these days. So it would have been a sound move in this game case to pre-order.
This is just my view though.
Hey Anton, can you tell us when the p-47 will be available for all...And would like to add that as a game player that pre-ordered the game in the U.S. I'm ******* outraged that I got a lousy t-shirt! Please give me a bone man!

Usually they don't attempt to sell extra content until a patch has been released so as to stop the inevitable 'OMG how dare you SELL us content before you've fixed you LOUSY BROKEN game' sort of stuff.
Expect DLC to go live as soon as the patch is live. Although the content obviously lives on the disc as I have played in a server where the host was using the P47, so I must have the files, I just cannot access them.
Hopefully they might open the content for everybody in the patch, I don't like paying for content I already bought, I own the disc with the files on I don't think I should be charged more to unlock things already on the disc.

I was pretty psyched about the shirt, awesome design and all...that is until I found out they only had L or XL sizes!
I was planning on wearing the shit out of that shirt, now my GF uses it as a night shirt from time to time.
Word of advice, marketing a product works better when people ACTUALLY can wear the marketing materials!:evil:
So yeah, done with my rant, I would much rather have had the p-47 :mad:

Yes, sure. All the contents which are inside we have payed. So please give them to us. But another thing is the future. I will pay for good add ons like missions, planes etc.

then what would be the advantage of the pre-order.
oh and by the way the "Jug" handles like a piano.

You got to use the aircraft exclusively for a few weeks maybe.
Remember the game is on sale in 20 or so countries and in hundreds of retailers but that offer was only valid in one country and shop.
Im still wanna fly the jug! for you guys that got the pre-order code can I try your code? maybe it will work twice? anyhow please im me your used code!
I try out the piano I just cant belive we have zero feedback on the p-47 except it flys like a piano!

It is weird that it is listed as a main plane on the game site but there is no mention of it in the game. And even in the sticky full plane list it is not mentioned. And the TA is mentioned but it is not on the main game site. Weird.
I sent admin a question regarding why it is on the game site but no mention of us having it. If they tell me before they post here then I will post their response.

Here is my take on it.
1st: It is one of my favorite WWII planes. It is 2nd to the P-40 for me.
XBox 330: The P-47 is what it is. It does best as a dive bomber. It drops like a rock, but be sure to give yourself time to pull out of the dive or you will crash it. It is pretty fast. I have flown it near 400 mph in WEP. Doesn't turn very tight, so for dog fighting, it isn't the best. If you are dog fighting, leave the bombs at home, or jettison them, it will do better. I do best dog fighting with a hit and run approach with it. Dive on someone, hit them, and run like hell out of there while climbing back to altitude before you turn around for another hit.
It's a fun plane to fly, and one of my favorites, altho not really a match for some of the more nimble fighters. I also love the D-Day paint theme. It has always been my favorite livery.

Being retired from the software industry, I will agree with you for the most part, and in most cases. With the exception of the pre-order "con". You are correct with bad code coming out because of crazy deadlines, and rush to get things to market in a certain time-line. That is everything. Especially software. I managed a ROM development lab for a major computer manufacture, as well as a system engineer (3rd level support) for IT in a major business solution software company. So, yep, we worked with crazy deadlines and sometimes were forced by marketing to put out broken code with the quote "just get it out, we will fix it later...". That is very mainstream.
Anyway.. that is NOT the reason for pre-order perks. Pre-order perks is simply to entice people to get the orders committed before the product is released. A software company would love nothing more than to sell all their product out, before the release date. That way, they will know up front if the release will be successful and makes the forecasters jobs much easier. If they can know how the product sells before it is released, then when it does release, they can quickly move on to other projects and simply not worry about how a product will do on the market. They will already have much of their numbers, so the pressure is off... Any sales that comes after is simply gravy.

All software does this too. You are not buying the software, you are buying a license to use it. The code belongs to the development company. You can possess the code, but you can not use it until you have the licensing. If you want to "own" something, ok, you own the little round plastic disc, but the code on it, belongs to the delvelopment group. You have to pay to be able to use it. So, you get to use it, when the owners of the code gives you that right to do so. So, legally and ethically, it is right for them to give you the little plastic disc with code on it free, but charge you to access the data on it when they see fit.. That simply is just how the software industry works..
An example: When you buy the book "Huckleberry Fin". You spent $7 for the book. Does that mean now, you own the story of Huckleberry Fin? No, you do not. It is a copyrighted story. You simply bought a bunch of little paper pages, with the story written on it, and bought the right to read and enjoy the story, but you do not own the story. It belongs to the writer and/or publisher. Not the best example, but the closest I could think of.. lol

I haven't used my Pre-Order Bonus Code yet, I'm not a big fan of those planes.
So if anyone wants it I'm willing to trade. PM me.

the publisher didnt leave any of the book out for the 7 dollars you got every damn page......dont see how your example is relavent

And that is why I said it was not the best example. But, the point I was making is that you do not own the code, or data on any media that software is written on. The developer does. Most people think, or believe that they are buying the software, but they are not. They are only buying a license to use the software. The argument that you bought the software, so you should be able to use all of it, or for anything you see fit, but it doesn't apply, because you DON'T own it. It is just a popular preconcieved notion that you did, and people not in the software industry have a hard time understanding the way it works. It works that way, because software, is actually like a service, and not something tangible you can hold in your hands. It can be copied and shared, which gets into the copy protection thing, and that is an entirely different thread. This is why you don't buy the code, but only the right to use it.

The DLC is out, the patch is not, so... this will indeed be the respondse from many gamers. (although DLC and patch release date are not in devs hands. releasing the DLC is publishers choice)

I'm astounded by the accuracy of your prediction. Congrats. For all people actually screaming this sentence: thanks for yet again proving the gaming community is not all that grown up.
