War Thunder Mobile Launches An Aircraft Open Beta With Tons Of New Features!

War Thunder Mobile's Open Beta for Air Battles Takes Flight!

Gaijin Entertainment has launched the open beta for aircraft battles in War Thunder Mobile, delivering intense aerial combat. This update introduces over 100 planes from three nations (with more to come!), expanding the game beyond its previous naval and ground support aircraft involvement. A dedicated air-focused mode and a full aerial tech tree are now available.

The open beta currently features aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. Players can choose to focus on a single nation's tech tree or explore multiple nations. Top-tier aircraft can be acquired through blueprints earned in in-game events, starting in early October.

The new Aviation campaign allows players to manage their aircraft hangar, research tech trees, and upgrade crews. Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, with customization options for aircraft and armaments. See the action in the trailer below!

Between battles, the aircraft hangar serves as a central hub. Players can manage vehicles, select camouflage, view the tech tree, and invite friends to squads. Each aircraft slot offers options to swap vehicles, modify armaments, or upgrade crews. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.
