Yea but that would mean having to buy a joystick if you actually want to be competitive more than likely....

Airplanes? I'm totally in. And I have a really kick ass joystick I got as a present a few years ago that I hardly ever use..

SilverTalon · 07-24-2011, 04:43 AM

I thought a joystick that was always underutilized was standard-issue to all married men... :rimshot:

But yes, it appears they're working on World of Warplanes (yes, questionable acronym overlap there) with the same basic model to gameplay. I don't know if they're going to go all the way back to WW1 or start in the inter-war years like WoT does, but I am curious how they plan to handle the Meteor and the Schwalbe (for those who slept through history, the first Allied and German jet fighters, respectively). Both were operational in 1944, but even back during the war they made prop aircraft pretty much obsolete; there just weren't enough available.

No dates or anything announced yet, so we'll have to see how it goes I suppose.

Wow...it took me this long to check the forums to see Stokeles was on board.

These are the signs that work is hectic I suppose.

Welcome aboard Stoke!

Well.. I played that one night so far.... Have not had the time to get back in there because like you said... 1 quick game led to me sitting there for about 2 hours.

SilverTalon · 08-02-2011, 02:59 PM

My typical evening in WoT (especially on non-work nights):

1) Clear out the double XP (most of them being lines I'm working on or tanks I really like)
2) Pick "Tank of the Evening"
3) Enter match
4) Get killed doing something CB-like
5) Exclaim "Oh that was bullshit!"
6) Pick another tank until that round is over
7) Repeat steps 3-6
8) Repeat step 7 multiple times
9) Wonder why the second airing of Family Guy is on Adult Swim

I was just driving around getting killed.

Warplane version has a promotional site now at the cryptically named: http://www.worldofwarplanes.com/

Interesting that they're including jet fighters since they weren't really good dogfighters as I understand it, just vicious against big lumbering bombers.

Eh, I'll try it since it'll be free but doubt I'll get into the planes much. Never been much of a flyer.

On another note, I've finally got 2 Tier VI tanks!

What do you have in T6?

Grunt · 08-11-2011, 03:55 PM
