Wargaming Reveals New Updates For World of Tanks and World of Warplanes

Wargaming has announced that update 1.6 is now available for World of Warplanes. Alongside this exciting news is also some additional information about World of Tanks with the addition of the Vive La France content update for the Xbox 360 edition. Read on to learn more.

From the Press Release
Wargaming announced the launch of content update 1.6 for its massively multiplayer aviation combat game World of Warplanes. The update adds a new line of Tier 5 and higher Russian MiG fighters as well as revamps the currently existing plane roster by adding a new multirole class of warplanes for ultimate player freedom and customization. Known for their breakneck speed and power, the Russian MiG line of jets helped define an entire era of aircraft combat. Starting at Tier 5, the new line of aircraft includes the MiG-3, MiG-9 and the legendary MiG-15bis, one of the world’s first swept wing jet fighters to be ever produced and find success in the skies of battle.


Update 1.6 will also see major changes in the creation of a brand new class of warbird—the multirole fighter. Made specifically for players looking for fighters with a balance between both air and ground combat, the new multirole class will allow them to outfit planes with armaments balanced between high caliber guns and ground destroying bombs and rockets. Previous aircraft in the fighter class, as a result, have now been designated as pure aerial combat dogfighters, which will also benefit from new balance changes for both cannons and machine guns. Lastly, the El Halluf map will see its boundaries extended, providing a more ample landscape for battle.



Wargaming announced the addition of the Vive La France content update for its free-to-play* console multiplayer game, World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition. The update, now live globally, is available as a free download for all Xbox Live Gold members, and can be experienced by all new players through a free seven-day trial for Xbox Live account holders. Behind some of the most iconic and powerful tanks to ever grace the field of battle, France has contributed tremendously to the storied history of armored vehicle warfare. Vive La France pays tribute to the country’s contribution with the addition of 28 all-new vehicles into the game, including such iconic tanks as the Foch 155, Renault FT and the AMX 50 100. Fast and nimble, but packing surprisingly strong firepower, the French tanks will provide players with the opportunity to experience first-hand what truly makes these tanks formidable foes on the battlefield. Vive La France also adds two new maps into the rotation—Karelia and Asia Miao (Pearl River).
