Just a suggestion
Avoid: WW2 asset pack ..... we shouldnt be paying for this any way, it should be part of core game or even normandy map The hawk , its utter dog poop C101, unfinished Gazelle, flight model is very arcade

Sale after sale after sale after sale.
Last week it was bundles for A-10A/Su-25/Su-27/F-15C, before that was Viggen, before that was the F-5/FC3, before that was F-5/CA, then a lull of two weeks, then there was the Fatherland sale... Really makes no sense buying a full-price module anymore as it'll be on sale before your next trip to the bathroom.
I was initially excited by today's newsletter seeing as there was a Hornet on the first picture, sadly there was nothing on the newsletter about the Hornet. Tease!

I was initially excited by today's newsletter seeing as there was a Hornet on the first picture, sadly there was nothing on the newsletter about the Hornet. Tease! Ironically they won't do big sales anymore (75% off and the like) but keep pumping out a lot of these. I'd rather have less frequent sales, but have older modules that have been out a few years drop lower in price. I think they were happy with FC3 sales and figured bundles would be the best way to sell a lot of things, without realizing what made the FC3 bundle so popular. Namely, the aircraft choices and overall price. Now to get the best deals you're straddled with buying a module or two we either own or have almost no interest in. The only bundle I'd consider buying at the moment would be a Mirage 2000C + NTTR bundle. Not that I wouldn't be interested in the other planes, but at the prices their asking I am fine without them.

Anyone that's still going to buy their stuff probably already owns everything. The products have already hit saturation point in the community. Desperate times and all that. Here's an idea to increase sales and interest, treat your already existing customers with the respect they deserve.
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

There won't be any hornet news until after Normandy has been released to the public. Yeah, but let's go ahead and put a Hornet on the first picture of the newsletter! That's a very good idea!! Anyone that's still going to buy their stuff probably already owns everything. The products have already hit saturation point in the community. Desperate times and all that. Here's an idea to increase sales and interest, treat your already existing customers with the respect they deserve. Probably trying to get people who are "on the fence" to finally commit and buy a module.... but they probably don't realize the reasons why those people are "on the fence" in the first place. I wish the game had a dynamic campaign like Falcon BMS. I'd be compelled to buy everything if it did...

personally, I only buy modules when sales are held, And so you are the target audience for the current marketing ploy of ED.

I also look forward to the minions of ED coming into that thread with nothing to contribute as usual .... couldn't agree more really. seems that any comment against the grain attracts the attention of those under the ED spell and they feel the need to respond with nothing other than wasted bandwidth. I sit back....popcorn at the ready.

Good for you!
I look forward to you telling us about the next "half finished shi!te" you don't buy.
Nate Same here! Please tell us about all the "half finished sh!te" you don't buy! God knows nobody can come here and talk about a "completely finished sh!te" that everyone should buy... if we wait for that, this forum would be dead.
