War Thunder Mobile Soars into Open Beta with Vast Array of New Additions

War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air combat is officially here! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial battles in its latest update, featuring over 100 aircraft from three nations – with more to come.

While previous versions included aircraft in naval and ground support roles, this open beta introduces a complete aviation 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. Future updates will expand the roster to include more nations.

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

The open beta unlocks the new Aviation campaign, featuring an aircraft hangar for managing planes, researching tech trees, and upgrading crews. Squadrons of up to four aircraft can be formed, with customization options for armaments. See the action in the trailer below!

Between Battles: Managing Your Aircraft Hangar

The aircraft hangar serves as your central hub. Here, you can manage vehicles, apply camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to your squadron.

Each aircraft slot offers three key options: swapping vehicles, modifying armaments, and upgrading crews. Squadron composition is flexible, allowing for diverse combinations of aircraft regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With a wealth of new features, War Thunder Mobile's aircraft open beta offers a compelling experience. Download it from the Google Play Store and take to the skies!
