When you click any of the planes you get the "Modules" window.
In order to get the next aircraft, you have to buy some modules while other are optional. Study and test various configurations for yourself to see what fits you best.
You also have to first spend experience to resarch the modules before you buy them, each module changes your specifications, for example, if I were to put the rockets on my plane, I would have to buy them, after mounting them they would increase my weight thereby slowing me down.

1. Friendly team, shows their planes, tiers, nicknames and points. 2. FPS and Ping. FPS (frames per second) this shows how many frames/sec you see, the more the better, it's usualy normal when it's above 40 FPS, this depends on mainly on you GPU/CPU. 3. Chat. 4. Target window, here you can see the enemy you are targeting. 5. Your ammo, speed, HP and altitude. 6. The supremacy bar, it fills for whichever team has more kills, when it reaches 100% you win the game. 7. Radar area, displays all units around you friendly in green, enemy in red. 8. Map. 9. Enemy team, shows their planes, tiers, nicknames and points. 10. This is the ingame timer, it begins counting down from 15:00 to 00:00, when timer reaches 00:00 the game ends in a draw.

2.0 Options
You have Controls, Graphics, Volume, Battle and Game tab, I will be covering three of five, Controls, Graphics and Battle options. There is no reason to explain the volume tab, and Game tab isn't functional in this version of the game.

2.1 Controls
Just a mention that this game is still in Closed Beta and some control modes are easy, while some have a steep learning curve.
2.1.1 Joystick
World of Warplanes has very good joystick settings, BUT it much easier to fly with a mouse/keyboard. I tend not to use joystick in this game. For you who want to take your chances, you should click "adjust joystick axis in the controls tab.

World of Tanks mouse, which is the control mode that I would recommend to anyone who is starting out, has VERY weird keybinds, I have no idea who the hell thought it's a good idea to bind roll to arrows... but what I'm trying to say is that you should rebind all the keys to your fitting before you start playing. I should also mention that what you see in the game is not representative of the final product, in fact it's far from it. They have changed and they will keep changing the controls until they find the perfect way to do it (at least I hope so). I never tried using the gamepad, but at this stage of the game I must say that playing with the joystick is in most cases a disadvantage. But as I said before, try all modes for yourself and see what's best for you.

So you have your everyday graphics options, if you want to save some FPS you can try to tweak shadows and filtering

2.3 Battle
Here you can customize your HUD, this can be helpful ingame and is good to take a look at it before playing your first game. Also try experimenting till you find the perfect thing for you. Here's a screenshot of my HUD setup:
That's it for options, let's proceed to running the game and your first dogfight!

Notice how the supremacy bar started filling up? This is a substitute for WoT flag capturing, if teams are passive supremacy will decide the winner, although in most cases it's just wiping out the enemy team

You see how you get a message when you destroy and aircraft or a ground target, the game lets you know that you are having the advantage, and that your team will be getting more and more supremacy, as long as you are in the lead.
For advanced tactics visit Captain King's Advanced Fighter Tactics and check Basic Combat Flight Maneuvers 1 and Basic Combat Flight Maneuvers 2 for more basics.

4.0 Dogfight
4.1 Classes
In WoT we have Light, Medium and Heavy tanks, SPG's and TD's, here there are 3 classes: 1. Fighters (same as Carrier based fighters) 2. Heavy fighters 3. Ground attack aircraft
4.1.1 Fighters
1. Fighters are agile and fast, can make sharp turns but lack the firepower of ground attack aircraft and heavy fighters, they also don't have rockets or bombs very often. If you want to be fast, shooting down other planes, this is the class for you!
Pros: [+] Very agile [+] Fast [+] Long WEP [+] Best aircraft if used properly [+] Small size = small target

4.2 Tips
1. Never do a head on against an enemy with greater firepower 2. Think about your plane, are you for B&Z or close dogfight! 3. Never fly in a straight line for longer than 2 sec 4. Never continue the chase if you have someon on your tail. 5. Never chase more than one enemy, finish off what you started 6. Choose what control system is best for you. 7. If you aren't in a complete head on situation (enemy focused some1 else), HOLD your fire and get GOOD aim on this tail and rip him apart when you get closer. 8. Don't crash into an enemy (do kamikaze ) unless you are 1% or so HP.

5.4 Economics
Credits are also very similar to WoT, you get x amount of credits for x amount of damage, kills, assists etc. You are also paying for repairs for your vehicle, so try not to get killed. Dont worry, after playing for ~10 hrs you will have spare cash:
