War Thunder Mobile Unveils Aircraft Open Beta with New Features

The open beta for aircraft battles in War Thunder Mobile is now live, bringing a surge of aerial excitement courtesy of Gaijin Entertainment. Dive into the skies with over 100 meticulously detailed planes spanning the USA, Germany, and the USSR. From the legendary P-51 Mustang to the formidable Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the agile La-5, you're in for a thrilling ride. And rest assured, more nations will soon join the fray, expanding your aerial arsenal even further.

While War Thunder Mobile previously included aircraft in naval and ground support roles, this open beta introduces a comprehensive aerial tech tree and a dedicated air-focused mode. Whether you choose to specialize in one nation's tech tree or mix and match across multiple, the choice is yours. Keep an eye out for in-game events starting in early October, where you can earn blueprints to unlock top-tier and high-ranking aircraft.

Once you jump into the open beta, you'll unlock the new Aviation campaign, featuring an aircraft hangar, tech tree research, and crew upgrades. You can assemble squadrons with up to four planes, customize your aircraft, and select various armaments to tailor your strategy. Get a sneak peek at what's in store with the video below!

In the aircraft hangar, you'll spend considerable time between battles, managing your vehicles, selecting camouflage, exploring the tech tree, and even inviting friends to join your squad. For each aircraft slot, you have three main options: swap the vehicle, modify the armament, or upgrade the assigned crew. You can build a diverse squadron, mixing aircraft from different classes, nations, and ranks.

With a wealth of new features to explore, now's the perfect time to download War Thunder Mobile from the Google Play Store and soar into the aircraft open beta test.
