On the upcoming V1

ED Reply

From this week's news:

We are excited to announce the V1 will be coming to the DCS: WWII Asset Pack! This is an iconic weapon, and it is a great addition for use with the upcoming DCS: Channel Map. It should be available as a static object when the DCS: Channel Map releases, and later as an operational unit.

So the V1 will be added to the core assets once the Channel Map is out, or as part of the WWII assets pack, or somehow bound to the Channel Map so that it can't be used in other maps...? This is getting confusing.

Edit: Sorry, I missed the obvious and explicit "We are excited to announce the V1 will be coming to the DCS: WWII Asset Pack!" part somehow. Nothing to see here.

Seems pretty clear cut to me? First sentence says it's for the WW2 asset pack. The rest is fluff like where it would fit thematically and its release funcionality (first static, then working at a later date). Clearer? :)

Can you believe I missed that because I concentrate on the Channel Map part!! So shameful.

Yeah sorry, it was only meant that it will fit in well with the Channel map, we are hoping to have historically accurate V1 sites with the new map, so if you own the Asset Pack, they V-1 will work well with the Channel Map, but could be used on any map.

It was all my fault. I didn't delete the post because there were already replies. Also I tend to assume the consequences of my mistakes.

I haven't read through it yet, but any mention if they will be tippable? I never could fly well enough to do it in the original Il-2, but I remember it being a neat little thing you could do.

Nice! Now all we need is a Gloster Meteor...

They're just making a suggestion, it will later be part of the assets pack as a functional unit, and will be available as a static (as part of the assets pack) around the time the channel map launches.

That's how I read it anyway. Though to speak on the topic of the two I can't help but think that it would make sense to just bundle the assets pack with the channel map at this point, it might make more people interested in the latter and increase the install base of the former.

I dont think they mean we only will be able to use it in Channel map, it's just about comparable time frame

Hot damn I cannot wait for ballistic missiles.

Does anyone remember which wags training video teased some scud launches in the background?
