War Thunder Mobile Launches An Aircraft Open Beta With Tons Of New Features!

War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air combat is officially live! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial action with this exciting update, featuring over 100 aircraft from three nations—with more to come.

While the game previously included aircraft in naval and ground support roles, this open beta introduces a complete aviation tech tree and a dedicated air combat mode.

War Thunder Mobile Air Battles Open Beta: The Details

Currently, players can pilot planes from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including iconic aircraft like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. More nations will be added in future updates.

Players can focus on a single nation's tech tree or diversify their fleet. High-tier aircraft can be acquired through blueprints earned in in-game events, starting in early October.

The open beta unlocks the new Aviation campaign, allowing access to the aircraft hangar for research, upgrades, and crew management. Squadrons of up to four aircraft can be formed, with customization options for armaments and aircraft modifications. See the action in the trailer below!

Gameplay and the Aircraft Hangar

The aircraft hangar serves as the central hub between battles. Here, players can manage vehicles, customize camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to their squadron.

Each aircraft slot offers three options: vehicle swapping, armament modification, and crew upgrades. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With its expanded features, War Thunder Mobile's air combat open beta offers a wealth of content. Download the game from the Google Play Store and experience the thrill of aerial warfare today!
