World of Warplanes to soar into closed beta

Wargaming.net has announced that World of Warplanes will enter into closed beta from 31 May. Anybody who applied for the global alpha test phase and didn’t get in will be considered a priority for this upcoming session.
There doesn’t appear to be a sign-up link for the beta at present, but the one for alpha testing is still there on the main page so you could always give that one a go.
According to the developers, a total of 600,000 people have signed up for the alpha session at one point or another, so there could be a bit of a queue to get into this next stage.
If you missed the recent ‘Ground Attack’ trailer from last week, here it is again.
