    Like an insane stunt pilot in the Red Bull Air Race, World of Warplanes manages to leave an excellent impression. But Wargaming has to keep proving themselves in the future if they want us to remain impressed. It's easy to find great satisfaction, however, when you roam the game's skies with Ride of the Valkyries on the background, while you're bringing death and destruction in your own personal aircraft.

    Wargaming learned perfectly from World of Tanks how to manage a free to Play game and World of Warplanes simply expands the base concepts of the previous game.

    If you've got some friends to battle with this games holds many hours of fun. With better controls and more variety in its contents the experience would have been better, but still it delivers its promise of intense and fast action.

    Planes for tanks, not much else has changed. Enjoy hundreds of lovingly recreated planes, just don't expect a simulation or the plethora of features of its time-tested precursor and you'll find this to be a worthwhile package with a fair business model.

    Not only will World of Tanks fans enjoy Wargaming’s new game. The gameplay is simple yet satisfying – you can feel the differences between planes, but some crude elements distinctive to hard core simulators were avoided. [01/2014, p.44]

    World of Warplanes will continue to evolve, now let’s await the third and final game of the World trilogy, Battleships.

    World of Warplanes needs fleshing out. In time it could be what arcade flight buffs are after but at the moment it's lacking.

The game has very fast and frantic gameplay, with good emphasis on tactics. You may get into a dogfight with an enemy plane that out-turns you, while luring him into a descending tail chase at slower and slower speed, until you reach your optimum altitude and slam on the engine boost, leaving him in your dust as you set up for an attack run once he gets far enough away. The population issue is still noticeable, but there are now fairly competent bots as of update 1.9 that help to fill matches. Give it a try. Expand

    How to put this mildy.....

    This game is so bad, with all the glitches, low population, graphics engine not cut out for aviation, that it makes Big Rigs look good.
    I cannot believe that this steaming pile is from the same creators as World of tanks and world of warships.
    I logged in today, 29-09-2015 for the first time in maybe 2 years, and it has not improved at all, in fact, it has gotten worse with a capped population of 510 at 14:53 pm, if you compare that to the thousands playing wot and wows, My bet is that wargaming would do better erasing the game and apologizing for this fiasco.

    For the wargaming guys reading this, Dont try to improve it anymore, its not gonna get better, it bombed. Make a new one.

    Já nevěřil, debil jsem si stěžoval na ně - právě jim, já netušil že to dělá support, koho by to napadlo, ja sem myslel ze to jsou nějacíJá nevěřil, debil jsem si stěžoval na ně - právě jim, já netušil že to dělá support, koho by to napadlo, ja sem myslel ze to jsou nějací cheatěři co používají nějaký mod, já hlupák stížnostem věnoval tolik času (napsat, popsat, vysvětlit, přeložit, odeslat + záznam ) hahaha (můj druhý světový rekord), teď už se tomu jenom směju. Já jim rovnou nadiktoval svoji adresu, pin kód, číslo OP, časy kdy nejsem doma a taky místo kde mám schované klíče. :-) metafór debil nejsem. Bystřejší chápou že zřejmě asi nemám důvod lhát, proč bych to tu psal, co bych lhaním jako získal? ukradené přátelé, body, sestřelené letadla nebo odměny které jsem nedostal, DDDD anebo zpět odehraný čas ( toho možná lituju ). A když už jsem tolik stížností sepsal a zaslal na PLAYER SUPPORT a navíc když už to i tady píšu tak asi na tom neco bude že by pravá pravda? anebo tady lžu, lžu sám sobě mam vidiny a halucinace v jednom, asi jo. Asi víte že největší trest a potupa pro jednotlivce je když je někdo trestán za něco co neudělal, je urážen a zesměšnován za to co není. A nejvíce zamrzí když pravdě nikdo ani nevěří. Chápu rozumím, proč by se někdo koukal někam a na něco, a ještě na někoho když je třeba první a za hru dostal všechny medaile. A co třeba protože : přátelství anebo třeba vděk za pomoc, za rady, za společnou zábavu? jejda třošku jsem odbočil, no nic každého věc kdo a kam čumí že STOLKEŔI. Tak se třeba všichni nechte dál opíjet rohlíkem, nechejte si mazat med kolem huby ale až se z medu stanou hovna bude pozdě. A malí rébus a vzkaz0O0vtip v jednom, ale jen chytré hlavy a zúčastnění to pochopí a rozluští, :-) a to jen možná : Supp0er * a jejich funny přátelé, a taky všichni jejich kamarÝtI co měli Hanabanana ( má novou uměleckou přezdívku: Ocetem zalitá hnilobná mrkev ala pizza plněná ovčím a kozím sejrem ) na míru v řiti vězte, sračky a hovna nesmrdí, když hoří. Když nemáte sirky ani zápalnou municí postačí klamerka na nos a taky je neucítíte. Další možnost je: přelepte si obě oči kobercovkou a čumte jinam, to dělá většina, když máte konexe, peníze či naturálie (greeneco či cocolino, urcitě by prošla i permanentka do nepořádku) a jste z Brna tak si můžete zaplatit podporu podpory klidně i pro celej klan a skoro nikdy neprohrajete dokud nenarazíte na opravdového dobrého hráče který bude schopen vyhrát téměř nevyhratelné a dokáže porazit sračky a zákazníky sraček i v podvodné neférové hře. 40 000 WG odehraných her, čili žádná konspirace ani halucinace, na vlastní oči a uši, jednoduše a popravdě psáno zažil viděl a účastnil, nahráno a nafoceno, že exJohnyDeppe alias Johane smrDTDící banane ty uchylnej ulhanej hajzlo heckereo Hane Hansi Jane Jensene Jano Hovnoninská WC babo. Už to pochop že nacpané pimpongáče ve slipech stebe hráče ani chlapa neudělají. A skupina tvých teploušských zelených smokerů ( kuřbuřti ) už vůbec ne. Tak dále na sebe každej večer koukej do zrcadla s prstem v zadku a říkej si co chceš, mě je to buřt. Přijdu zahraju zasměju pobavím, hraju vždy pro tým, vím co je dobrý a vím co je špatný, vím co znamená slovo HRA, nejsem totiž vymaštěnej EGO sráč jako ty, jsem jen letecký fanda a férový hráč.

    Do not waste time with this game. Between the admin's power-hungry actions, the developer's lack of assistance, glaring latency and framerateDo not waste time with this game. Between the admin's power-hungry actions, the developer's lack of assistance, glaring latency and framerate issues, obvious bugs, twisted balancing problems and pay to win model, you will only find yourself on a path of frustration and annoyance.

    I have a top of the line machine, yet I cannot run this game on even the BASIC graphics settings without MASSIVE framerate issues. Latency on both servers constantly fluctuates and that is IF you can even connect and STAY connected. I constantly have problems with the in-game planes as well, being right up against enemies and STILL missing (server problems)

    Include the fact that the developers ONLY show up to punish people badmouthing the game and it's creators and NOT to assist ANYONE well, it just goes downhill from there. The concept is amazing and well executed but the rest of the problems this game faces makes it not even worth playing.
