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

Dive into the 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. More nations are planned for future updates.
Players can focus on a single nation's tech tree or diversify their progress across multiple nations. High-ranking aircraft can be acquired via blueprints earned in in-game events, starting in early October.
The open beta introduces a new Aviation campaign, providing access to an aircraft hangar for managing vehicles, researching tech trees, and upgrading crews. Squadrons of up to four planes can be formed, allowing for customization of aircraft and armaments. See the action in the trailer below!
Understanding the Gameplay --------------------------The aircraft hangar serves as the central hub between battles. Here, players manage their vehicles, select camouflage, explore the tech tree, and invite friends to squads.
Each aircraft slot offers options to change vehicles, modify armaments, or upgrade assigned crews. Squadrons can be built using any available aircraft, regardless of class, nation, or rank.
With numerous new features, War Thunder Mobile's aircraft open beta offers a wealth of content. Download the game from the Google Play Store and experience the thrill of aerial combat today!
