Hey @LukeFF, I tried unsuccessfully several times to contact the DEVs about changing my purchase from the basic to the founder's edition, but nobody has contacted me.  Could you put a bug in someone's ear for me?     I've done support tickets through the contact on the website, to no avail.

Hi, please send me a DM with a brief description of the situation, along with your Support ticket ID, and I’ll see what I can do to help.

Hi, I am in the same position as VISHNU, is it possible to change from Standard to Founders edition, I submitted a ticket and have not had a reply, ticket No. is 13222.

Thanks.

Even though there are demos and videos, I'll just wait for the basic version that I subscribed to. It's enough for me for now and the development will continue anyway, even if it costs me more money to buy it later. 🙂

What does “A new layer of interaction with the game world” mean?

Aircraft carriers and naval aircraft.

There is a 99.99% guarantee, though it's a shame they are unwilling to shut all the doubts down by just revealing it yet.

They will reveal it once Korea is released. Early enough, IMHO.

The official line is that it isn't clearly anything.

Who knows - it could be a jeep? Or artillery spottin'

And this plus the 5 unknown DLC plane types is exactly why I will not prepurchase.  I am not a child, well most of the time :-), and I want to known what my money is buying, at least as far as far as the DLC planes are concerned. If DLC plane types plus the mystery future "new level of interaction"  were revealed, it would more than likely push me to prepurchase now, of course only if it is not a jeep or artillery spotting.

This game of wait and see that the Devs seem to enjoy only brings back bad memories Of 2013 and the statement one prominent 1C Dev made,"we know what hard core flight simmers want", right before BOS was released. Then we got BOS with grinding. 

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me!

[Blitzen]

I've managed to change my order to the Premium Edition. Now can I ask is there a better EtA on it's arrival?

[KC23]

Recently read one of the regular YouTube guys, and he made a pretty good argument that it will be carrier stuff and one of the aircraft to be a Panther.

Yes, but I make a pretty good argument that it would be better one of the «dev’s» said there would be «carrier stuff»

Besides that anyone knows that is where this is headed. 
Anywho, I still think they should give us a clue what them 7 extra planes gonna be in founders edition. 
I personally isn’t that keen on what we know we get with a few exceptions. Yet I find those 180$ to be well spent if there was something of my liking.

Five extra planes... where does this 7 plane number come from?

Yeah, I don’t know where I got 7 from. Probably my dreams. 
I wait out prices on Ram a bit more and see what or if I buy new rig. If I do I probably buy this module anyway. Kind of never one can have too many choices

[Aapje]

If two planes love each other very much, they can have a baby plane.

I had such a love for the old game "Mig Alley" by Rowan, I knew there was no way I was going to pass up IL-2 Korea. However, I was a little taken aback by the lack of a dynamic campaign. I mastered Mig Alley's campaign over time, which was so fun. The AI was pretty good. I am concerned about what others have said regarding the stupid AI IL-2 in previous efforts. 

[Lusekofte]

I don’t mind public servers anymore for a quick flight. But shiny fastmoving fighters do not bring more to a dogfight other than speed, witch is a bad thing for an old grumpy asocial geek like me. 
I miss old IL 2 dynamic campaigns.

This is kind-of how I feel... after 1942 power-to-weight ratios climb, but so do wing loadings... dogfights become less elegant. Also, with the proliferation of high velocity cannons it is more guaranteed that one won't have to make multiple passes to shoot down a plane - very unchivalric!

At least with the MG-FF and Type 99 they have low velocities and rates of fire - and only a single ShVAK is usually carried... even the Hispanos were pretty unreliable (and had smaller magazines) in 1942... so aircraft don't tend to evaporate as reliably.

That said, Korea should provide a pretty different experience of dogfights - not quite modern, not quite WWII... something different from both.

[BlitzPig_EL]

Indeed so.  "Tight" turns in a jet dogfight will have astronomical radius sizes compared to even late war prop fighters.  They will require better planning and much more patience as well.  It will be a very different experience.

The prop vs. jet contest will be a true test of wills.  Can the prop pilot drag the jet jock down low and slow?  Will the jet driver be so fixated on the kill that he will take that bait?

Interesting times ahead.
