While you can't yet throw yourself into the cockpit of a World War II-era fighter and take off for the stratosphere, at least now there's nothing stopping you from talking about it with like-minded pilots.
World of Warplanes, the upcoming fighter plane MMO from Wargaming.net, has launched its official forums. The categories are quite extensive, ranging from developer feedback to a place to write poems about flying. There are even several sub-forums that cover the history of aviation if you're looking to brush up on your basics.
The title is the third in the "World of" series, and is currently in closed alpha testing. By having the forums up, Wargaming.net hopes that it'll be useful for refining the testing process and to balance the title before it's ready for the masses. World of Warplanes covers combat aviation from the 1930s all the way up through the 50s. Potential pilots are encouraged to read our conversation with Wargaming.net about the game from GDC earlier this month.

You're all wrong basicly, World of Tanks is the first in the Series, World of Warplanes the second and finally World of Battleships is the third.
Tanks are there already,
Planes were announced back in June,
Boats were announced back in August.

And who wrote that headline? Turns off the 'no forums' light? Really? That is almost a double-negative. What was wrong with "Wargaming.net Launches World or Warplanes Forums" or some other simple, declarative sentence?

Much ado (over pay-to-win).

Figured someone would post this and I called it in my head that it would be the first page.
I do not have premium and regularly beat folks with gold shells and gold tanks. It is more about skill and knowing where to hit than spending bucks on tanks/shells. Heck, the clan fights can earn you gold for holding territory, so you can even get all the gold goodies without spending a dime, it just takes dedication, education and the drive to do the best you can with the tools you have.

I might have to give this one a go. If they can deliver on the performance end, I've got a soft spot for WWII fighters.
