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

War Thunder Mobile's open beta for aircraft battles has officially launched, bringing intense aerial combat to mobile devices courtesy of Gaijin Entertainment. This update introduces over 100 planes from three nations—with more on the horizon—offering a significantly expanded aerial warfare experience.

While aircraft previously played supporting roles in naval and ground battles, this open beta introduces a full-fledged aerial tech tree and a dedicated air combat mode.

War Thunder Mobile Aircraft Open Beta: The Full Lowdown

Currently, players can pilot iconic aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. More nations are planned for future updates. Players can choose to focus on a single nation's tech tree or diversify their fleet across multiple nations. Top-tier aircraft can be acquired via blueprints earned through in-game events, with the first event scheduled for early October.

The open beta includes a new Aviation campaign, allowing players to manage their aircraft hangar, research tech trees, and upgrade their crews. Squadrons can be formed with up to four aircraft, and players can customize their aircraft with various armaments.

Understanding the Aircraft Hangar and Gameplay

The aircraft hangar serves as the central hub between battles. Here, players can manage their vehicles, customize camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to join their squadron. For each aircraft slot, players have three options: swapping vehicles, modifying armaments, or upgrading the assigned crew. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With this significant update, War Thunder Mobile offers a wealth of new content. Download the game from the Google Play Store and experience the aircraft open beta today!
