It's been an interesting few weeks for <a href="http://www.wargaming.net">Wargaming.net</a>. The firm has re-branded its <a href="http://worldofwarships.com/"><em>World of Warships</em></a> title, acquired <a href="http://www.bigworldtech.com/">BigWorld</a> via a blockbuster <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/07/wargaming-acquires-bigworld-for-45-million/">$45 million purchase</a>, and hinted at more simulation-style gameplay for its forthcoming <a href="http://www.worldofwarplanes.com"><em>World of Warplanes</em></a> shooter.<br />
<br />
I forwarded a few questions to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warplanes"><em>WoWP</em></a> producer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Alexander-Zezulin/">Alexander Zelulin</a> about those very topics, so join us after the cut for a quick look at what the firm is thinking with regard to its next World War II-themed multiplayer title.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/11/the-firing-line-extra-wargaming-net-producer-talks-world-of-war/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Firing Line Extra: Wargaming.net producer talks World of Warplanes expert mode, tech trees, and more</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/11/the-firing-line-extra-wargaming-net-producer-talks-world-of-war/">The Firing Line Extra: Wargaming.net producer talks World of Warplanes expert mode, tech trees, and more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:00:00 EST.

Flight sim fans are abuzz over <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/wargaming.net">Wargaming.net's</a> recent <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warplanes"><em>World of Warplanes</em></a> announcement, and many are casting an expectant eye toward this year's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2011">Gamescom</a> in Cologne, Germany. The reason? Wargaming.net is set to officially reveal the action MMO that features a large selection of aircraft from pre-World War II to the jet age.<br />
<br />
Today we're pleased to bring you an exclusive interview with Wargaming.net project manager <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Alexander-Zezulin/">Alexander Zezulin</a>, so join us after the cut for loads of details on the game, including the debut trailer from Gamescom. Much like its <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-tanks">World of Tanks</a></em> predecessor, <em>World of Warplanes</em> looks to make squad-based vehicular combat more accessible to a wide audience while maintaining a sense of historical accuracy when it comes to said vehicles.<br />
