World of WarPlanes release postponed? [Update]

Treat this like a rumor until WoWp people post this on the portal(s).
Looks like WoWp release will be postponed (146% sure acording to serb). Surce: RU Q&A
There seems to be issues with WoT integration, a.k.a. account unification; and some other issues with the game itself.

In other news, there have been some problems discovered after release of 0.5.3 update on the RU server that put the patch deployment on EU and US servers on hold, until further notice.
There are people complaining (on RU) about having black screens when battle starts and many others (quite possibly all) report missing options in settings menu.
