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 your mobile device courtesy of Gaijin Entertainment. This exciting update introduces over 100 planes from three nations—with more to come! 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.

Here's a closer look at the War Thunder Mobile Aircraft Open Beta:

Taking Flight: Nations and Aircraft

Currently, the beta features aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and the 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 by progressing through multiple trees. Top-tier aircraft can be acquired via blueprints earned by participating in in-game events, with the first event starting in early October.

The Aviation Campaign: Hangar, Research, and Upgrades

The open beta includes a new Aviation campaign, accessible through the aircraft hangar. Here, players can research tech trees, upgrade crews, and manage their aircraft. Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, allowing for strategic team play. Customize your aircraft with various armaments to suit your combat style.

Managing Your Aircraft Hangar

The aircraft hangar serves as your central hub between battles. Here, you can view and manage your vehicles, select camouflage, navigate the tech tree, and invite friends to join your squadron. For each aircraft slot, you have three main options: swap vehicles, modify armaments, or upgrade your crew. You can build a squadron using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With its expanded features and intense aerial combat, the War Thunder Mobile aircraft open beta offers a wealth of new content. Download War Thunder Mobile from the Google Play Store and join the action today!
