$70 lol. Wait for the inevitable sale, it'll be 40-50% off if the other BoX games are anything to go by.

Fits with the other decision from 1C to tag Normandy Premium with 90$ :D

Is the 15% discount for the initial week all, or do we get an extra discount if we already own Cliffs of Dover: Blitz?
(Not that I care, I will get it on day one, if it stays at 60 or gets down to maybe 50 bucks, just out of pure interest.)

The pricetag is high but if you want to criticize someone for it's 1C. They're broke and are trying to get as much money as they can to pay for some of their bombed releases.

Hopefully it's a success and they can push onto even greater things:

  • New sky textures/weather engine
  • Fw-190 for the Channel
  • VR support for those who have it

I am hoping TF will work on VR first for post relief as Pattle says..... and then maybe start working on Malta or Pacific theater.

Appreciate all the comments guys. Price is as advertised on launch. First major update post release is expected to be the new weather integration. From what I have seen so far, it is a game changer. VR no doubt would be as well of course, but the weather, WOW.
