World of Warplanes logo recreated by skydivers because, well, why not
What do you do when you're an outrageously successful online gaming company with more money than you could spend in a lifetime? Well, first you donate some of it to the Jef Needs to Replace the Siding on His House Kickstarter project. After that, you hire a team of crazy Russian skydivers to form your game's logo in the midst of a mid-winter freefall. World of Tanks and World of Warplanes development firm Wargaming.net did just that, and you can see the results in the video after the cut. [Source: Wargaming.net press release]

World of Warplanes beta patch improves controls, visuals

The update goes live today in the U.S. and Russia. European World of Warplanes players will see the patch on February 20th. [Source: Wargaming.net press release]
New World of Warplanes cinematic features the most beautiful machines ever built
Wargaming.net has dipped into its deep pockets for another CG video designed to show off one of its World War II action titles. The star of this particular show is World of Warplanes, which is now in beta testing. Well, actually, the star of this particular show is the F4U Corsair, which everyone knows is the most beautiful machine ever built. There are some other airplanes in the video, of course, and a bunch of explosions, a ship or two, and even a train, but really you can just start at 1:08 and get your Corsair fix. WoWP is coming to Igromir 2012, a gaming and pop culture exhibition held in Moscow's Krokus Center. The trailer marks the occasion, and you can view it after the cut.
New World of Warplanes gameplay video showcases fighters

Like all of WoWP's aircraft, fighters will feature various engines, ammunition types, and assorted customizable modules that allow players to tune for optimum combat performance. World of Warplanes is currently in global alpha, but Wargaming.net says that closed beta is "coming soon." In the meantime, check out the clip after the cut. [Source: Wargaming.net press release]
