World of Warplanes: More Info Revealed

MMOBomb Staff Posted: August 17, 2011

Wargaming.net introduces a new set of screenshots and the debut trailer for their new flight combat MMO World of Warplanes. The screens will be among other game content to be unveiled to media during personal presentations in the business area of Gamescom 2011.

Along with the screenshots, Wargmaing.net is glad to reveal the information on the aircraft powers that will be presented in the game. Upon its beta release, World of Warplanes will feature around 60 airplanes from Germany, USSR, and USA, with British and Japanese planes to be added with the further content updates. New branches and new planes will be added gradually over the process of development as it is done in World of Tanks, and the total number might reach several hundred aircraft.

World of Warplanes is the flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. The game continues the armored warfare theme marked in the highly-acclaimed World of Tanks and will throw players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance.

Based purely on aircraft setting, World of Warplanes will allow players to build full-scale careers of virtual pilots offering machines of several key eras, staring from 1930's with biplanes and up to Korean War jet fighters that led the way to modern air forces.

World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots will choose from three main warplane classes - single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and strafing aircrafts, the fearsome threat for ground targets.

Every plane will feature multiple variations of ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules, and their various combinations will allow to pick the optimal configuration for the most effective behavior in combat.

To all of you who want WOT, WOWP, and WOB combined, and to those of you who think it would be huge and impossible to make and play... Someone already made that game. It was called Battlefield 1942 and it was an epic step forward in war games. Still fun to play in my opinion, even more so with the Desert Combat expansion added to it. The maps were just as big, maybe bigger, and relatively detailed. The game-play was somewhat similar (from a Tank perspective), plus it had a huge number of vehicles you could pilot. Jeeps, trucks, cars, tanks, artillery, missile launchers, fighters, bombers, cargo planes, boats, subs, and even the ships and aircraft carriers. Epic on a massive scale.

So could they do it? No question, they could. Will they? Probably not. But it's fun to think about taking off from a carrier, dive bombing your pathetic little T1 Cunningham, while I weave in and out of anti-air fire from the coast, parachuting down to your base, smoking your little Arty with my RPG, and capping your base! Oh wait. I HAVE done that. ;)

I like the idea of having all three games separate but being able xfer your xp. Now I also agree with a server dedicated to combining all three games only for this pirpose, clan wars. I think if only clan wars involved all three elements then it would require alot more planing from the clans. Ships bombarding the coast while the tanks take the offensive while being covered by air support. Soundss like alot of fun to me, and I know my clanmates ( being the bunch of old coots that they are) would really enjoy this aspect.

Also, I cant find and info on a possible beta release date, anyone know?
