War Thunder Mobile's open beta for aircraft battles has officially launched, bringing intense aerial combat to mobile devices. This latest update from Gaijin Entertainment delivers over 100 planes from three nations—with more on the horizon. While the game previously featured aircraft in naval and ground support roles, 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:
War Thunder Mobile Aircraft Open Beta: The Details
Currently, players can pilot planes from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, featuring iconic aircraft like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. More nations are planned for future updates. Players can focus on a single nation's tech tree or diversify their fleet by progressing through multiple. Top-tier aircraft can be acquired via blueprints earned through in-game events, with the first event scheduled for early October.
The open beta introduces a new Aviation campaign, providing access to the aircraft hangar for researching tech trees, upgrading crews, and customizing aircraft. Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, allowing for strategic team play. Players can modify their aircraft with various armaments to suit their preferred combat style.
Understanding the Aircraft Hangar and Gameplay
The aircraft hangar serves as the central hub between battles. Here, players can manage their vehicles, customize camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to join their squadron. Each aircraft slot offers three options: swapping vehicles, modifying armaments, or upgrading the assigned crew. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.
With its expanded features, War Thunder Mobile's aircraft open beta offers a rich and engaging aerial combat experience. Download War Thunder Mobile from the Google Play Store and join the action today!
