Wargaming has updated World of Warplanes with eight new attack planes for Germany like the Junkers Ju 87, or the experimental Messerschmitt Me P.1102 B. It’s a real tech tree expansion alright.
Pilots also get two new maps: Observatory and Province, offering a Scandinavian mountain resort and a Toscana-inspired countryside respectively. There’s also the new Flight Member Auto-Search.
A new developer blog gives a full breakdown of the eight new German attack planes, but here’s a summary of the latest war birds in the skies with Update 1.7:
▪ Focke-Wulf Fw.189C Uhu
▪ Junkers Ju.87G Stuka
▪ Henshel Hs.129B
▪ Junkers Ju. 88P
▪ Messerschmitt Me. 265
▪ Messerschmitt Me. 329
▪ Messerschmitt Me. P. 1099B-2
▪ Messerschmitt Me. P. 1102B
”While every other airplane class has gotten multiple extensions over the six updates that we’ve deployed since release, Attack Aircraft have largely remained untouched, resting solely in the depths of the Soviet tech tree. With Update 1.7 this is about to change, as we’re introducing eight powerful ground attack pounders to the German aircraft fleet.”
We should now be able to easily find friendly pilots who want to fly together using the new Flight Auto-Search function. ”This nifty little tool does exactly what it name implies: it helps you find friendly pilots to team up with so you can conquer (or terrorise) the skies in good company.”
”Whether it’s because all of your regular contacts are unavailable, or you’re just looking to switch it up and take your chances with a stranger – the Flight Member Auto-Search is sure to make for some fun matchups that will help you succeed in battle.”
