    I'm still waiting for World of Battleships; I want to have the biggest baddest cannons out there (I guess that means I'll play as a German if WoT is anything to go by).

    Same. WoWP is a bit generic, plenty of flight games out there. At least WoWS might have that unique feel like WoT had/has.

    I wouldn't discount the Yamato though!

    I've enjoyed the open Beta of WoWP. Without getting super serious about it, I've got to a tier 5 German fighter and Tier 4 bomber (I think I prefer the bomber play if you've got a team who'll support you).

    I can see why it wouldn't be everyone's cuppa tea, but for a short burst of something not too serious and fun, it fits the bill for me.

    WoWs will only be worthwhile if you can use secondary armament, i.e guns, missiles, torpedos, asroc etc.

    as we stated when it was first announced, if they implemented it into a giant mmo, warplanes fighting above, tanks fighting below, where planes could actually attack the tanks etc then would be immense. maps would need to be larger obv!!!

    Well if they give the arties anti air shells (ala the German 88s) maybe the whining about 'em would stop :p

    War Thunder is going to do that, if they get the ground combat right its going to destroy both WoT and WoW

    I'm pretty sure the BigWorld game engine can't handle it and WG have stated numerous times they're not unifying the games onto one battlefield.

    Not sure. There's been lots of talk about WT and how it's going to cripple WG, etc.
    As far as I've heard, WT has it's own problems so it might not be pwning everything in it's path.

    Planetside 2 is already doing it with 2k players on a 6x6km map with naval warfare on the way and I don't see WoT/A/B going anywhere from it as they cater to different type of players.

    but planetside 2 is not WW2 based combat

    and thats only one mode of the game, you will be able to play ground forces without planes or battleships, also its only 30 v 30

    so imo WoT is going to be in big trouble if they get it right

    true but as I said above, if they get it right

    but it looks promising

    Well looks like the game was just released and I must say it's pretty fun, much like WoT was at the start.

    The release of World of Warplanes also marks the introduction of the Unified Premium Account. This means that if you purchase Premium account time in World of Warplanes, it will also be valid in World of Tanks, and vice versa.

    An Australian server was publicly committed to though. Bear in mind the second EU server took nearly 18 months from first consideration to it's final appearance.

    Really? We don't even have a WoT aussie server, I can't see why they'd do WOWp first.

    I was saying that in the context of WoT. WoWP looks to be very unlikely.
