The World of Warplanes website announces a new version 1.5 update is now live in Wargaming's aerial combat MMOG. The new version includes redesigned air-to-ground combat, 50 new achievements, one new and one reworked map, and bots to allow pilots to practice their skills in an new player-versus-environment mode. Here's word on the new PvE support:

New battle types have been on the wishlist of many veteran players for a while now, and so it is with great pleasure to announce for 1.5 a new PvE battle type called Battle Against Bots! As the name suggests, this feature will allow you to team up with other human players and chase down an air fleet of AI bots in a dedicated battle type that will follow its own unique rules and settings. This new mode will be a perfect tool for both newcomers, looking to explore the game and learn the mechanics, as well as hardened veterans, who’ll be able to discover World of Warplanes from a whole new perspective.
