World of Warplanes Update 1.2 details

Okay, so some people prefer their war machines to be of the airborne variety.  I don't get it; I mean, you can't disable a tank with one well-placed bullet (and for those of you punching your keyboards because that's not necessarily true, I say lighten up).

To each their own.

And in that spirit of tolerance and understanding, here are details for World of Warplanes Update 1.2 and some screenshots.  Because I'm generous like that.

- implementation of multi-cluster technology

- new Battle Missions System

- detailed post-match stats

- features to heighten World of Warplanes's eSports profile (enhanced camera setup and user created replays)

About World of Warplanes

World of Warplanes is a flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. Throwing players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance, the game allows aircraft enthusiasts to pursue full-scale careers as virtual pilots, earning their wings in intense 15-vs-15 battles where supremacy in the air depends not only on a fast trigger ringer, but also coordinated teamwork.

Players can choose from three main warplane classes: swift fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with deadly straight attacks and formidable armor, and ground-attack planes, able to unleash bombs and other armaments against even the most fortified ground targets.

World of Warplanes features more than 100 vehicles from Germany, the Soviet Union, USA, Japan, and Great Britain. Every warplane has multiple modular configurations, allowing for customization across weapons, ammo types, engines, and other aircraft components. These components can be mixed and matched to provide players with the ability to outfit their warbird for any combat situation or role.
