Ground-attack aircraft have just been added to World of Warplanes, the sister game to World of Tanks. A recently released trailer and new screenshots show that players will be able to dive bomb targets with “flying tanks” like the IL-2. Does this mean that, eventually, World of Tanks players will be able to call for some close air support? I certainly hope so.

World of Warplanes is still a ways out. However, those interested in trying it can sign up for the global alpha test at worldofwarplanes.com.

Read on for a trailer and some screenshots.
