gunz 0 Posted April 2, 2011 While waiting on OFF dvd and playing Silent Hunter 3 i found this ! Key Features — Huge universe Detailed and huge locations reproducing the real state of the countries participated in World War II. Satellite imagery has been used as well as maps of 1930th-1940th years to adjust them to the historical authentic state. -Hundreds of planes in one game More than 100 models of planes, participated in air battles of war with hundreds of planes in each combat. The player can choose the side and upgrade or buy new planes for Germany (from early Bf-109 till early jets), USSR (including jet BI-1), RAF (from Spitfires to Gloster Meteor), Japan and USA. — Detailed damage model Unique technology allowing to visualize absolutely all possible damages that could be done to a plane, including even a scratch in any place; even angle of hit of each bullet is taking into account as well as all and consequences that could be caused by this bullet. — Unique Career mode Global career mode allowing player to choose one of sides and if lucky to bring victory to this side. All of your experience and all your planes could be upgraded and improved. Starting from the scratch you can become an Ace. — Real as life! For real hardcore simmers there will be a way to tune and fix your plane's engine with a «screwdriver». Now it is even more realistic than in a real life where there were technicians for that. — Best pilot? Combat is always going on, in a real time on a huge area of Eastern, Western, Pacific, and Mediterranean theatres of war. And the situation on the battlefield will be affected only by players. Countries can be defeated if all infrastructure and all ground armies will be destroyed. Pilots of victorious countries will get new ranks, and war will re-start again. It's expected that average duration of each war will be about 3 months. Game Info Gaijin Entertainment, highly acclaimed flight sim developer, is happy to announce new massive online game – World of Planes. World of Planes is a brand new, massive online game focused on flight simulation in the World War II era. «We kept this in secret for very long, and now we can finally reveal World of Planes! We have been working on it since 2009, and our experience with «IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey», «Wings of Prey» and «Apache: Air Assault» helps us to make really global online simulation game. All our experience and all our resources were involved in this new game. I’m sure that this game will take a worthy place in the hearts of gamers." — says Kirill Yudintsev, Chief Creative Officer of Gaijin Entertainment. Despite really new generation of much improved technology, the project will be also optimized for the average gaming computer: «It’s very important for us to keep the game playable comfortable by everybody because it’s online game. In the same time we are supporting all modern technologies and utilize power of modern PCs too» — says Kirill Yudintsev. Another key feature is the realism. In contrast to «Wings of Prey» where was 'Arcade' mode «World of Planes» will have no concessions for an inexperienced player. The developers promise the most realistic game that could impress even experienced virtual pilot.However, it is expected that the game will be suitable even for beginners, but how it will be achieved is a secret yet. http://gaijinent.com/en/games/world_of_planes/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. Sounds to me like they will also offer the Pacific Theater - which would be great! Edited April 2, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunz 0 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. Sounds to me like they will also offer the Pacific Theater - which would be great! Yes, from what they've written it seems almost whole world will be available , it seems stunning, i wonder if it will be on big map from England to Japan and USA Edited April 2, 2011 by gunz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 2, 2011 Naw, that would be too large, I suppose. But the Pacific theater might still be giant, from China over Japan and the Philippines down to Australia. Europe might be from northern Norway/Finland down to north Africa. That would be incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted April 3, 2011 Unfortunately that announcement was an April Fools Joke, you should have gotten it when they talked about adjusting things with a screwdriver . The Devs say they will make an announcement about WOP 2 fairly soon. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beard Yeah... you're absolutely right about that..... i noticed that they had removed the 'World Of Planes' page earlier today... wanted to post it here but you beat me to it.......Nevertheless looking forward to Wings Of Prey 2.... (Hope they release a DVD-R version of it in the Asia Pacific. though.... Internet download speeds are mediocre here where I live (even broadband) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
