It will probably be like other collector airplanes 19,99$ when BoK is finaly out, i would not expect this to happend before this months end, they realy slow down, it was ment to be out in Dec 2017.

The Hispano ingame is about as effective as the 23mm VYa cannon, so proooobably a bit on the "too effective" side of things. *G* But to be honest, since the Spit mostly has to fight vastly superior opponents in terms of flight characteristics, I don't mind that much.
LOL nothing new, in any game every Allied airplane is OP and every Axis is nerfed by the forums, i had guy in 109 complain that i shoot him down in P-40 because it can take to mutch damage and if its not OP i would be dead on first pass.

A 109 that gets rekt by a P-40 in a fight on equal terms simply fucked up. ^^ No way around it.

I agree Ether. If a 109 pilot is competent I can get it into a stand off where they can go for the kill but face a head on pass vs six .50's.

I often win that choice in a P40 seat and that is a fuck up by the 109. If someone is being that annoying when I fly I will fly away...... Or fuck up and go for the head on.... I can't help myself..

It's basically the extend and face shot Hurricane tactic from Cliffs but more lethal for a 109.

Gentlemen,
Just to make you aware, May 9th is Russian national holiday, they celebrate the Victory Day at that date. Historically, there were huge sales held by 1C/ 777 Studios in recent years, we might be expecting something very similar this year as well.
Summing things up, if you want to get a BoX module or a single plane for dirt's worth, just wait for the beginning of May.
S!

Kuban standard edition is available now if anyone is interested, plus the Spit and HS129 as buyable 'collector' planes. Spit's good, I wouldn't bother with the Henschell tbh...
