World of Warplanes looks to achieve a perfect balance between realistic flight mechanics and forgiving gameplay.  Nothing kills the fun of a flight combat game than stalling every time you try and turn.  

In this dev diary, the people behind World of Warplanes talk all about the work that went into balancing those two gameplay attributes, while at the same time, offering a ton of quasi-realistic features and  upgrades that can affect your aircraft's handling characteristic, including location-specific damage.
