Seems a bit early to pre order. Can't watch the trailer as my wallet is already flat

With the two levels of pre-order you can get access in either Winter 2013 or Autumn 2013 for the $50 or $90 price, respectively. The $90 pre-order also gives you access to the La-5 and FW-190 A3 that you'd otherwise have to wait until after launch to purchase separately.
Il-2 BoS Pre-Order Details

Since payday is several days away, I'll have some time to mull these options over before I jump in.

Good deal. I'm willing to help out with money and as a tester.

I'm confused. Has this been available for a while? "Winter 2013" was several months ago... Or did they mean 2014? Or are they in the southern hemisphere?

Release is planned for Q2 2014.
Preorders will be available this autumn.

There's two winters every year. Starts in December, ends in March.

Ahh... I get it now.

Pre-ordering the Premium Edition...

Wow!!!

The ground attack looked interesting, hope in game looks even close to that.

that trailer looks great, also the videos i've seen up until now and with payday next week I'll be ordering...bloody 5 week month

CGI or clean in-game footage?

If only we could have clouds like that in game…

This Sim went from a maybe to a big yes..still want to see how it will be sold though..if it's the same as RoF I'm happy with that..the great thing is you still get to fight new planes even if you never bought them.

Yeah well remember CFS3 trailer?

My god. That cfs3 trailer would nearly suck me in now.

Bobby NOOOOOOOO!
