World Of Warplanes is a neat addition to Wargaming's repertoire, but it all just feels a little too shallow to really make waves.

While the base game can get a little repetitive at times, there's every reason to expect that World of Warplanes will see the same ongoing upgrades that Wargaming brings to World of Tanks, with new aircraft, battlegrounds, and game modes.

World of Warplanes is not for the faint of heart, and the frustration levels may be too much for some to bear, but the overall experience is certainly worth a try.

World of Warplanes needs fleshing out. In time it could be what arcade flight buffs are after but at the moment it's lacking.
