World of Warplanes Soviet Warbirds Soar to Great Heights
Wargaming.net Reveals Initial Tech Tree for Soviet Line of Planes
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wargaming.net, the award-winning videogame developer and publisher, soars to new heights with the new addition of Soviet warplanes, the third faction revealed for the flight combat action MMO World of Warplanes. The game is currently in its global alpha phase, where an army of test pilots are assisting the development team in improving and polishing the gameplay.
The initial Soviet tech tree will include the legendary La-5 light fighter and Il-2 ground-attack plane, along with more than 20 other warbirds. Additional planes will be added to the Soviet line as the game nears launch.
"We are glad to finally introduce the latter of the big trio," said World of Warplanes producer Anton Sitnikau. "We are always striving to reach a combination of accuracy and fun in our games and hope our test pilots currently in global alpha will find the Soviet warbirds as fun to fly as the American and German planes."
About World of Warplanes
World of Warplanes is a 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, throwing 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 as virtual pilots. The game offers planes from several key eras, staring from the 1930s biplanes, and up to the Korean War jet fighters that led the way for modern air forces.
World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots can choose from three main warplane classes: single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with deadly straight attacks, and ground-attack planes, a fearsome threat for ground targets.
Every plane will feature multiple variations of weapons and ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules. Various combinations will allow players to pick optimal configurations for the most effective behavior in combat.
