Considering your knowledge on the topic you might want to also check out World of Planes which looks like it will be slightly more "realistic" compared to World of Warplanes.
Sorry if I'm a few days late. But I use a program called SuperF4. Basically it's alt-f4 on steroids. Just do Ctrl+Alt+F4 and it'll kill the current app.
https://stefansundin.github.io/superf4/ Had to use it for a certain game that thought it was too important to be alt f4'd.
There isn't any info, because 2.0 was done on a whim, half-assed, with a skeleton crew (source: http://www.mmorpg.com/world-of-warplanes/news/al-king-on-recovering-the-warplanes-brand-20-and-the-future-1000046011).
There's no balance in the game yet and there's are many bugs it's painful. It looks as if they're planning to "fix" this around the new year with patch 2.2.
