[WoWP] Closed Beta Begins


World of Warplanes hit closed beta in NA, EU and Russia!

We have unleashed into the skies 59 warplanes of three different types. Steel birds from the release tech trees of all three nations – USSR, Germany, and USA – are now battling for Supremacy on unique 4 maps, spraying bullets, dropping bombs, and firing rockets into a variety of ground targets.

We have implemented several game control modes to suite both experienced and novice pilots. Also there is an initial tutorial scenario to help newcomers get to grips with their warplanes, teaching them the nuts and bolts of basic aviation.

The development is far from reaching its final stages. The most exciting times are ahead. We will be improving gameplay, introducing more warplanes, polishing the existing features, and adding new ones. And we hope to work with you, shoulder to shoulder, to create a truly great game.

Some important notes: 
  • All alpha testers automatically get access to the closed beta.
  • All applications made during the alpha are valid for the closed beta. Moreover they are elgigible for priority processing.
  • During closed beta we will be gradually inviting more and more players. Don't give up if the invite hasn't arrived right upon the start. It takes time. :)

    1. 1)Okey, now i have to buy VK3601h for use konisch :P.
      2)Bad news for my E-50
      3)Good the description is not clear

      Delete
    2. They nerfed the Konish to death a few patches ago, nerfed accuracy, aimtime and rate of fire. Now it only has ok penetration left as a force, but you have to use gold ammo to make some real damage. The 88mm is a better choise fore vk3601.

      Delete
    3. Yes i know the extrange nerfed. They was going to put konisch for tiger H (with the all stats in 3601h, and nerf konisch in 3601h. Then they removed konisch for tiger h and the nerf in 3601h stay on). But i like to test the gun ;)

    1. Older applications have priority but that doesn't mean that the invites are sent by date only.
