The latest salvo in the battle between forthcoming free-to-play aviation MMOs has been fired by Wargaming.net. The company has released a fresh batch of screenshots detailing its new World of Warplanes title, which is the second in a trilogy of World War II-based action games that includes World of Tanks and World of Battleships.
The screenshots show a small cross section of classic aircraft slipping the surly bonds of earth and engaging in various maneuvers designed to fill enemies full of hot lead. Wargaming.net's press release says that "every plane will feature multiple variations of ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules," and players will be able to guide their pilot avatars through a virtual career that begins in 1930s biplanes and culminates in the cockpit of Korean War-era jets.
See the sights in the gallery below, and check out our exclusive interview with project manager Alexander Zezulin for more details on World of Warplanes' features and mechanics.

if it's like WoT a Mustang will be tier5/6, Sabre/Supersabre tier 8 with some prototype experimental jets filling in tier 9-10.

Its like WW2 Online..but split into 3 separate games with no interaction between them and no ground FPS component.....and less historical accuracy and real world data.....I'll give it a go - even if it feels 'acradey' rather than like a simulation
