Game Modes (WoWP)
There are four game modes currently available in World of Warplanes. You can select the game mode by opening the pull-down menu to the right of the orange "Battle!" button.
The primary means of polishing your aerial skills is through the series of training sessions. World of Warplanes offers two training modes at your disposal:
- Individual training within tutorial.
- Team training battle against selected teams.
Once you have the basics down, it's time to enter battle. At present there is only one type of battle room for you to join where you have the potential to earn credits and experience that can be used to advance up the tiers -- Stnadard Battle Mode. In this standard battle mode you play against a mix of human players and bots to fill out the teams.

Special Game Modes
Snowball Fight
The Snowball Fight mode was temporarily made available in December of 2014[1]. This mode was associated with special holiday missions and rewards. The map used for Snowball Fight was a modified version of Arctic Region and renamed to Lapland. The only vehicle available to use on the map was the Odin 42M flying saucer that fired "snowballs", had incredible boost capabilities, and would regenerate health over time.

Battle Against Bots
Battling against computer controlled opponents is an excellent practice ground for World of Warplanes beginners as well as players wanting to test new aircraft. A team of one to five players, supplemented by bots, plays against an all bot team in a 15 vs. 15 format. The aim is to achieve and maintain supremacy or destroy all enemy aircraft.
Battle type specifics: NOTE: This battle mode was removed as of v1.9

Victory Conditions
In all modes except Training, victory is determined by either supremacy or destruction of all enemy aircraft. In the event that neither of these conditions are met or the match times out, then it is declared a draw.
Supremacy | Annihilation | Draw |
---|---|---|
A team gains advantage points for every enemy aircraft or ground target destroyed. As soon as one team achieves advantage over the other, the supremacy meter (progress bar in the top center of the HUD) starts to fill. The more points a team gets the faster the meter fills up. The battle ends when one of the teams achieves 100% supremacy. | The battle lasts until all enemy aircraft are destroyed. The duration of the battle is limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. | The battle ends in a draw if neither team manages to achieve 100% supremacy or destroy all enemy aircraft within the time limit. The match also ends in a draw when both team's simultaneously achieve 100% supremacy or when all aircraft on both teams are destroyed. A game that ends in a draw is equivalent to a loss for both teams. |
