War Thunder Mobile Launches Open Beta!

War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air battles has officially launched! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial combat with this 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, the game boasts aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. More nations are planned for future updates.

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

The open beta unlocks the new Aviation campaign, allowing access to the aircraft hangar for research, tech tree navigation, and crew upgrades.

Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, with customizable aircraft modifications and armaments. See the trailer below for a preview!

Gameplay and the Aircraft Hangar

The aircraft hangar serves as your central hub. Manage your vehicles, customize camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to your squadron. Each aircraft slot offers three key options: vehicle swapping, armament modification, and crew upgrades. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With numerous new features, War Thunder Mobile's air battles open beta is packed with content. Download it from the Google Play Store and take to the skies!
