World of Warplanes

Wargaming.net announced today that the company has won several prestigious awards at the Russian game developers conference KRI 2012 that took place in Moscow from May 18 till May 20.

Following its last year's success, Wargaming.net has taken three prizes, including the Industry Award received for the second year in a row, the Best Developer award, and the Best MMO award won by the company's highly anticipated MMO action game World of Warplanes.

"We are excited to leave Moscow with three prizes under our belt, just like we were last year," said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. "Even against the toughest competition, we've proved that we can develop and support top-notch projects, and I'd like to thank the whole Wargaming.net team for what we've managed to grow into."

About World of Warplanes

World of Warplanes is the flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. The game continues the armored warfare theme marked in the highly-acclaimed World of Tanks and will throw players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance.

World of Warplanes will allow players to build full-scale careers as virtual pilots offering machines from several key eras, from 1930's biplanes to the Korean War jet fighters that led the way to modern air forces.

World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots will choose from three main warplane classes -- single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and strafing aircrafts, the fearsome threat to ground targets.

Every plane will feature multiple variations of ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules, and their various combinations will allow players to pick the optimal configuration for the most effective behavior in combat.
