The Open Beta Advantage

Pilots!

Most of you are probably already aware of the November 12/13 release date (depending on your region) and are eagerly awaiting its arrival. Though perhaps some of you don’t know about the staggering amount of bonuses that you can still receive until that day by playing the Open Beta.

It's important to know that not all of your progress will be lost when the game goes live. We’ve prepared a number of opportunities for clever pilots to both practice their skills in refined testing conditions and also collect many advantages along the way, which can serve as a head-start when World of Warplanes officially launches.

Check out the following list to see why it's great to be playing the Open Beta right now!
