Just to clarify, since I saw a few people mention world of tanks in this thread, but also since this is something I've been a bit confused about my self, but world of planes is not done by the people who did World of Tanks.
Here's the thing, there are two games in development at the moment, both focusing on MMO World War II (and slightly pre-WWII and also slightly beyond) aircraft, one in development by the guys who did World of Tanks (which is called World of Warplanes) and the other in development by those that did Wings of Prey (that being just called World of Planes, and that being the one that this alpha video is from).
To be honest it seems a bit of an odd decision on either one of their parts to name the games almost essentially the same, depending on who came up with the name first. I suppose since World of Tanks has been around a while they could claim to have more 'right' to the name, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a name change before release from one of them.
I could be totally wrong, so please correct me if I am, but that's how I understand it right now. I'm fairly interested in both games depending on how arcady they turn out to be, and that's how I found out (after signing up for the World of Planes Beta thinking it was World of Warplanes and then finding out that it wasn't, but not being all too bothered.)
