War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air battles has officially launched! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial combat with this latest 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 air tech tree and a dedicated air combat mode.
Dive into the Skies: War Thunder Mobile's Air Battles Open Beta!
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 soon.
Players can specialize in one nation's tech tree or explore multiple. High-ranking aircraft can be acquired via blueprints earned in in-game events, with the first event starting in early October.
The open beta includes a new Aviation campaign, featuring an aircraft hangar for managing vehicles, researching tech trees, and upgrading crews. Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, allowing for customization of aircraft and armaments. See a sneak peek below!
Understanding the Gameplay
The aircraft hangar serves as your central hub between battles. Here, you can manage vehicles, select camouflage, explore 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 available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.
