War Thunder Mobile's open beta for air battles has officially launched! Gaijin Entertainment delivers intense aerial combat with this update, featuring over 100 aircraft from three nations—with more to come.

While the game previously included aircraft for naval and ground support, this open beta introduces a full-fledged air tech tree and a dedicated air combat mode.

Currently, the game boasts aircraft from the USA, Germany, and the USSR, including iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Bf 109, and La-5. More nations will be added soon.

Players can focus on a single nation's tech tree or diversify their progress across multiple nations. High-ranking aircraft can be obtained via blueprints earned in in-game events, with the first event starting in early October.

The open beta unlocks the new Aviation campaign, providing access to the aircraft hangar for researching tech trees, upgrading crews, and customizing your squadron of up to four planes. You can modify aircraft armaments and select different loadouts. See the action in the trailer below!

Gameplay and the Aircraft Hangar

The aircraft hangar serves as your central hub between battles. Here, you can manage your vehicles, customize 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. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.

With its expanded features, War Thunder Mobile's air battles open beta offers a wealth of content. Download the game from the Google Play Store and join the action!
