Pilots,

2015’s second big update for World of Warplanes promises to be the most memorable yet! With a long list of changes and our most game-changing feature to date, this update is sizzling with hot new content. Don’t believe us? Take a look at our preview below and judge for yourself.

THE HIGHLIGHTS OF VERSION 1.8

Subtitles available in English only!

War Cache

Version 1.8 introduces a new feature dubbed “War Cache”. War Cache is essentially an in-game item distribution platform, granting you priority access to the hottest new warplanes, equipment, emblems and consumables. If you solve the dedicated missions hidden within, you will win tokens, which you can exchange for new Premium warbirds or a chance to score additional bonuses.

Three New Tier VIII Premium Aircraft

The main prize of War Cache (see above) will be the ability to acquire any of the new Tier VIII Premium aircraft of 1.8 either at a discount or completely free! All three warbirds possess unique flight characteristics, lending themselves to different kinds of play styles that suit both beginners and pros. Learn more about each individual aircraft from our comprehensive preview or the Developers Blog!

New Consumables, New Equipment

Another helpful thing that we’re introducing are new equipment pieces and consumables. Expect to see three new types of consumables (one for each plane class) in both regular and Premium-versions as well as multiple new equipment items that will allow you to further personalise your aircraft. Grab all of these new goodies early (and for free!) during our War Cache event or save some credits to acquire them the old-fashioned way when they become available at a later point.

Plane Birthdays

Gain additional rewards for your most decorated and experienced aircraft by celebrating their birthday in-game! Depending on their age, your planes will be able to grant you tons of new bonuses – if you come back and play your honourees on their big day! Learn more about this feature from our previous news coverage!

And Even More!

Last but not least, Version 1.8 is also packed with a ton of other new features that will all do their part to improving your game. Expect to see a new client-side control prediction, 2-man flights, a new social network login ability, balancing adjustments and a range of new achievements for flights – coming all in this update!
