Update 1.4 is now available.

Pilots,

Another beautiful month, another jam-packed update. Version 1.4 is now deployed and brings a host of eagerly anticipated content thatâ€™s bound to please World of Warplanes fans around the world. Find out the details on whatâ€™s been added to the mix from our presentation below.

You can download the new version on the downloads page.
New Tier VI Premium Aircraft

Say â€˜Helloâ€™ to the five newcomers and make them feel welcome in your hangar!

The former total of eight Premium Aircraft will now grow by five to a respectable thirteen! Every nation in the game gets its own new aircraft, including Japan that has had to hold out without a Premium-contender until now. They are all Tier VI, ranging from lightweight Fighters for four of the nations, to a sturdier Heavy Fighter for the U.S. tech tree. Discover prominent figures like the British Mustang I (that would later evolve into the legendary P-51 Mustang) or lesser-known prototypes such as the Japanese Kawasaki Ki-88 fighter. And did we mention the German Spitfire?

Two New Maps

To spice up the gaming experience, our developers have introduced two new maps into the fold. Both are based on a winter setting but are of different size and weather conditions to give them their own character.

While the smaller â€˜Winter Warâ€™ is intended for Tier I-V battles, â€˜Hidden Airbaseâ€™ covers a much larger area, leaving enough space for high-tier, jet-vs-jet encounters. One map puts you into the blinding whiteness of icy mountains and glaciers; the other one challenges your senses, by plunging you into the obscurity of a dark night, lit only by the shimmering glimpse of the distant Aurora Borealis.

Improved Matchmaker

Another major feature of the new update is the improved matchmaker. The developers have tweaked a number of the settings of this important function in order to bring a better balance to the game on-the-fly. Expect the new system to put a greater focus on finding an equilibrium between participating in flights and getting into fewer situations in which you end up joining multiple battles in a row as the lowest-tier aircraft.

New Modules

On the front of â€˜oldâ€™ planes, a lot of minor improvements have been made to adjust for the arrival of the Premium-newcomers and perfect the in-battle balancing. As such, a number of aircraft in all nations have received new airframes that either replace the old parts or act as welcome extensions to each planeâ€™s individual tech tree. Find the new modules already unlocked in your hangar if you possess any of these retouched aircraft or have completed the necessary research!

SD & HD Client Separation

Lastly, Version 1.4 also introduces a new system that splits the client into two versions. The smaller one is for users who prefer to play on â€˜Lowâ€™ to â€˜Mediumâ€™ graphical settings and the bigger one is for players who want to crank the visuals up all the way to â€˜Highâ€™ or even â€˜Very Highâ€™ settings. Find the details about the functioning of this new feature in a dedicated article from our previous news coverage.
