With the ever-evolving gaming graphics for both consoles and PC, it is not surprising to see games constantly improving their visuals, hence games getting remastered versions. Although not a remastered version, "World of Warplanes" just got a huge update, and it definitely changed a lot of features in the game, including its visuals.

Since the game was released almost five years ago, players can imagine the graphics being quite outdated. While some games intentionally keep their graphics that way, "World of Warplanes" is one game that could definitely benefit from revamping their visuals, which is exactly what 2.0 did. Although it is not an entirely huge change, it does add more opportunities for gamers to immerse themselves in the game.

This is in addition to having a new aircraft class called the bomber. Being the bomber, it is quite straightforward to know what players who choose this aircraft need to do. Wargaming, the game's developer, included this to change the way the game is played as well. From previously just having to go all out and shooting down enemy aircraft, the game now revolves around teamwork.

Players will need to value other aircraft in the team as the "World of Warplanes" will now be a more strategic game, especially in a new game mode called Conquest Mode. Players will be placed in a team with the goal of defending their sectors on the map while attacking and capturing the enemy sectors. With this, players can see the utility of the bomber class. There are, of course, other aircraft classes that can counter them.

Bombers also have a special camera mode for themselves. This camera mode called bomb sight is also straightforward in helping players bomb the right targets. Players can check the whole list of new changes on the game's website.

"World of Warplanes" was originally released back in 2013 for the PC. The game has been and is still free-to-play.
