World of Warplanes is a multiplayer online game dedicated to the "golden age" of the world's combat aircraft. This project continues the "war saga" that began with the award-winning online sensation World of Tanks and gives players the freedom to lift off, leaving battlefields laden with smoke and destruction, getting a first-hand opportunity to engage in an endless number of battles for air superiority.The main game mode in World of Warplanes organizes battles between two teams of 15 players who meet in air battle over a variety of locations. Victory can be achieved by destroying all the opposing planes or earning advantage points by eliminating the enemy's ground targets. At the same time, both approaches to victory -- teamwork and a player's individual contribution -- are important, because any pilot has the power to turn the tables in World of Warplanes.The period represented in the game is one of the most captivating and challenging in the history of aircraft engineering. One may start a piloting career with biplanes of the 1930s, move on to legendary WWII warplanes, and end up with jet fighters of the Korean War, predecessors of modern aircrafts.
