War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air battles has officially launched! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial combat with over 100 aircraft from three nations (with more to come). This update introduces a full-fledged aerial tech tree and a dedicated air combat mode.

Previously, aircraft played a supporting role in naval and ground battles. Now, players can fully explore dedicated air combat.

War Thunder Mobile Air Battles Open Beta: The Details

Currently, the beta includes aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, featuring iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and the La-5. More nations are planned for future updates.

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

The new Aviation campaign provides access to an aircraft hangar for researching tech trees, upgrading crews, and managing your squadron of up to four planes. Customize your aircraft with various armaments.

Gameplay and Customization

The aircraft hangar is central to managing your air fleet. Here, you can view and select aircraft, customize camouflage, research the tech tree, and invite friends to your squadron.

Each aircraft slot offers options to swap vehicles, modify armaments, or upgrade crews. Squadrons can be built using any combination of aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

Dive into the action! Download War Thunder Mobile from the Google Play Store and experience the exciting air battles open beta.
