World of Warplanes is nixing three-player flights

12
Wargaming is doing away with three-player premades in its World of Warplanes aerial battler. The firm's latest dev blog says that three-player flights have an average win ratio of 66 percent. That number rises when the three-flight in question is "well trained," which has Wargaming concerned about balance and inequality not only for the losing teams but for the winning...

I say arbitrarily because of course...
