World of Planes - The Corsair is the most beautiful machine ever made, ever, ever

Timing is everything, a wise man once said, and Gaijin's PR department surely knows this. That's why we've finally got some new info on World of Planes after weeks of silence. Yes, we said World of Planes, not World of Warplanes, and we're sure it's a big ol' coincidence that Gaijin has chosen to open the floodgates just after Wargaming.net released its first tech tree earlier this week.

At any rate, there is some cool stuff to see if you're into World War II-era aviation. First up is a fan-made (and developer-endorsed) video that we've embedded for after the break. Then there is the new screenshot gallery on the official WoP website. Lastly there are a couple of noteworthy forum threads including a beginner's guide and the second interview in a series focusing on alpha testers who are real-world pilots.

Well, first off, they really should think about changing the game's title, but it is an Asian company and they are known for such practices meant to confuse any new potential player.

Secondly, it will be interesting to see what sort of UI and play mechanics are in both games and compare the two. F2P merchandise, how such merchandise affects the game, number of plane models, and of course, if there will be a lobby-combat game or world-wide. There was only one scene, but it reminded me of the old "Airwarrior" title (looking around from your cockpit before takeoff).

It's basically the latest iteration on the Sturmovik series, so you can get a pretty good idea by playing that last console title. I'm interested to see the number of players it supports, and like you mentioned lobby vs. world.

@Space Cobra Russian company is Asian?

@wizyy
That is hilarious! I didn't realize Gaijin was Russian till now, just looked em up.

@Space Cobra

Umm.... yea it's a Russian company.... Don't post if you have no clue what you're talking about. Kthxbai

The video looks pretty sweet imo. I am also a sucker for the Supermarine Spitfire airplane. I hope they use original engine sounds for the spitfire.

I'll happily go with these people rather then those "other" ones.

F4U!!!!
