1. ★★★★★ War Thunder Zenoaspect2942 · 11 Jun 2026
   Hey there Gaijin. Just here to write a review. I’ve been playing the PC/Console version for about 3 whole years now and I must say that this game is truly amazing. The mobile version is also really good but it lacks a few things the main game has that the mobile version doesn’t. For example the main game has modern Aircraft while the mobile version is stuck with Cold War era jets. And the tanks don’t get the Night Vision, Thermal vision, scout drones, etc. And I think those would be a GREAT addition to the mobile version. Furthermore I think you should add Realistic Battle gamemodes just like

   the main game has. This would truly enhance the gameplay. And I think that you should expand on the Nations. Lately I’ve realized that the mobile version is lacking alot of the nations. While yes there are bits of those nations in the game, they’re merged with the others. I think you should make those Nations their own individual Nations. Like Sweden, France, China, and so on. I also feel like the game is lacking some core mechanics like bringing planes into ground battles, and spawn points. I also think you should add a free chat. While yes the radio chat does help sometimes to communicate with your allies I think you could communicate even more with a free chat to work together in matches. Now I know how the main games chat works and what they say on it which is why I think that if you ever do add a free chat you should add censoring to it as a permanent feature or as a setting you can turn on and off. Anyways I’ve said my share of words here. Keep it up. Long Live the Snail!

2. ★★★★★ War Thunder Mobile: Suggestions for New Modes, Ranks, and Network Optimization SCAR（Wc) · 25 May 2026
   First of all, I really hope you can add a Historical mode. In War Thunder on PC, Historical mode is a ton of fun — you can get a few kills, earn a spawn point, and then use an aircraft. Also, I hope you can bring in the crew system. If you switch to Historical mode, start with two crew members, just like on PC. Make buying additional crew slots cheaper, and the same for training costs — mobile players don’t earn much. Then update all vehicles up to Rank XIII (I know this would take a lot of time — or you could just update air vehicles to Rank XIII). Also, please add more ranks. Between Ranks V

   more

   I–VIII, matchmaking is a bit chaotic — it feels like a mess with vehicles from all over. For example, the T-44 shouldn’t have to face those monsters. So adding more intermediate ranks would help. I hope the War Thunder dev team sees this. This kind of update would bring in more PC players. Also, please optimize the network environment. I’m playing in China and it’s been a nightmare — terrible lag makes tanks teleport around, planes suddenly crash into the ground, and naval battles are just confusing. It’s really frustrating, so I really hope you can improve the network performance. thanks.

3. ★☆☆☆☆ Downward spiral in quality and rewards Shrimpix222 · 1 Apr 2026
   This game is amazing at everything it does at an extremely base level. Relatively realistic simulations, many different vehicles, and a fun gameplay loop. However, the developers are letting this games potential down and refuse to allow this game to blossom into anything more than a cash grab that is almost entirely RNG based with unrealistic expectations of what players are capable of or willing to do. For example, in the April Fools 2026 event, they give the player 2 ways to get the Object 279, a highly requested and famous vehicle. These ways are 1. Get extremely lucky and win a >0.3% chan

   ce or grind out a whopping 47,900 event bonds. The next most expensive vehicle is 2,200 wb for comparison. The developers seem to want a to project a mystique of rarity and mythos around this tank, which could be fun, but this event is a horrible way to do it. In order to completely grind out the required warbonds, you would need to play roughly 6 hours on average a day for 2 weeks straight and still barely make it. This isn’t achievable by any metric, and makes the event extremely disappointing to myself as well as many others. This game can be fun but the devs are ruining its potential to be a game capable of rivaling war thunder pc. All of this games competition have dug themselves into a monetary hole of predatory tactics and schemes, and war thunder mobile with this update has begun to dig that hole.

I did not even get 100,000 silver lines so please make the rewards better in all game modes and please add a zombie apocalypse game mode for next Halloween. A zombie apocalypse game mode is available for ships tanks and aircraft for aircraft.

5. ★★★★☆ Remove auto tracking Spideysipsipsup · 2 Feb 2026
   Game is really good for a phone but there’s still a bunch of things that need work. First let me say how aggravating the auto tracking feature is in tank battles exclusively. For air and ship battles it makes sense but in tank battle it is so frustrating lining up a shot only to have it auto turn your canon and shoot the wall next to your target. And unfortunately it can’t be turned off as you can in air battles. Why, I have no idea as it purely makes no sense in tank battles. It has a manual mode but it auto engages every time you see another tank and has to be manually turned off each time,

   more

   which by the time your able to do that your already dead. It causes me to miss about 90% of my shots that I would have hit. PLEASE GAIJIN LET ME DISABLE AUTO AIM ENTIRELY. A couple things I also don’t like, controller support is clunky and overly complex controls for scope and zooming. The main menu uses a mouse cursor on controller which makes it difficult to navigate. I also will mention the maps on the mobile version are smaller versions of the regular maps on pc so all the cheeky hiding spots have been cropped out :( Lastly I’ll say that I’ve played the pc version for maybe 10 years now and none of my account data is usable here. I have some very rare tanks I would love to use in this game but unfortunately have to start all over. Overall it’s a great game but hindered massively by this auto aim feature. Also please allow changing of reticle color in air battles, it nearly impossible to see where your aiming due to the reticle changing to red when it’s near an enemy, which is the same color as the player name and indicator, the reticle becomes invisible because of this.

6. ★★★★☆ Not Enough Modes to Play idontwantto788 · 15 Oct 2025
   There needs to be more game modes in War Thunder Mobile like an arcade mode and realistic mode that is almost or exactly like War Thunder not on mobile. For example a ground arcade which is like what is in now, then a realistic mode which had no cross hair where you can penetrate and have to use a rangefinder if needed and also at lower ranks or all the way through being able to bring aircraft in and also for realistic have spawn points which are given when getting any type of hit, regular or critical, a target destroyed, a assist, or capturing a point. And how the spawn points would work is y

   more

   ou can spawn in 2 tanks no madder what because you will start off with 450 spawn points (sp) and the first ground vehicle will cost 100 spawn points (sp) and the next would cost 200 spawn points (sp) and you keep adding 100 spawn points (sp) and the first aircraft if it’s a fighter would be 480 spawn points (sp) for the first bomber it would cost 720 spawn points (sp) strike aircraft could be 600 spawn points (sp). And for ground the realistic they would work more like the actual vehicle. While realistic for air you would get 1 plane no spawn points and there would be no lead indicator and the plane would behave almost exactly like the real thing. For naval you wouldn’t really change anything I don’t think. So please take this into consideration for the next big update like for New Years or Christmas if possible, thank you.

7. ★☆☆☆☆ I love this game Please add decals Gaiji · 11 Apr 2025
   I got this game somewhere probably at 2023 or 2022. This game is fun and very realistic. One future I really want to be in this game is decals. I would love to add decals on my tanks that would be so cool and I hope they add it to to the game . One of my favorite German tanks is a tank destroyer. Its rank is VI it comes with a panther and a king tiger. I love how good the graphics are and when you shoot the enemy tank, you can see the insides. It’s just so fun when you see the enemy, Tink get turned into ashes. also, I do not like ship battles they are just too boring one to spawn in you get h

   more

   it by the enemy super far away. I love planes when I fly them I feel happy because it’s so good to destroy the AI targets on the ground and the enemy aircraft, but bombers are kind of hard survive in because the enemy is more faster and more better for combat and my level in the game is level 14 I like playing the cheese wedge has no turret and wherever you look the whole entire tank turns so when you use the joy stick you can only go forward and backwards with it. So if you want to turn wherever you look is where the tank is going to turn. Also, I like using the missile vehicles it comes because the missile launcher is the highest thing on the vehicle, so you can protect the tank and the missile launcher will stick out, so the enemy cannot shoot you body but if they use a HE shell since this vehicle is open topped. It will destroy your crew. And stay away from artillery. Thank you for reading this.🔫🔫

8. ★★★★★ Great, only some issues Joshiegayle · 19 Jan 2025
   I’ve been playing mobile for about 2 years now, I would say overall it’s a 8/10, tanks are well modeled, great graphics for mobile, simple progression, but there comes the first problem, the time it takes to go from tier 1 to tier 2 compared to tier 4 to tier 5 is astronomically different, while rp/xp is not a problem, silver lions is what holds people back from enjoying and obtaining those more modern tanks, I think there should be some type of rework to the cost of certain vechicles, I don’t expect people to reach top tier in a day, but it shouldn’t take people over a thousand hours to just

   more

   reach 1 top tier, I get gaijin wants money and that’s okay, they’re a business after all, but they still need to respect their playerbases’s time, you can only enjoy a game so long until it just becomes unbelievably repetitive. I see other reviews complaining about overpowered premiums, I don’t see what they’re talking about, I’ve never spent a dime on the game and have never had a issue killing premiums, most of them are just copies of the normal tanks anyway, and others do have a learning curve to find their weak spot but they aren’t overpowered by any means. Please gaijin, consider reworking silver lions, whether it be increasing the reward for them, or adjusting the price of tanks, something needs to change in order for the game to consistently be fun and enjoyable, the game shouldn’t feel like you just pour endless hours to obtain a single platoon. Thank you for your time and patience Joshua

9. ★☆☆☆☆ Good game but failed us again ik3vinz · 16 Jan 2025
   The game in the beginning is good, it had almost everything you need to play until… premiums were added. The problem is that Gajin put two nations together and the way they put these tanks tiers is really weird. I am at “level 3” in the russian/china line with the same tanks from level 1 (this game is not like the PC game, every nation starts with what would be BR 5.0 tanks in PC… so this is not a grinding game) so even if your profile says tier 3 your tanks are still from level 1 so you have to battle people that might had purchase the bundles in between tiers, it will be more like playing BR

   more

   7 games with a BR 5 tank. The next tank for me is at tier 5, so I have to stick getting destroyed and not penetrating them even with amor piercing, by tier 4 tanks until I am able to upgrade to a russian tier 5 or buy a “package” with 4 premium tanks for $4.99. The controls are pretty bad, I keep pressing the wrong buttons to fire and the zoom mechanics just don’t seem to work properly, there is a super glitch with the velocity of the bullet sometimes would go too fast or too slow its impossible to memorize the ammo velocity because it changes in every match, also the distance changes with matches sometimes it will travel further than other matches, also either the tanks go to fast for such small maps or the game is too small for what Gajin wanted to accomplish here. And please devs dont bother writing me back with the same excuses as you always do, I know what you guys tried to do here and no… I am not spending a dime on this game.

10. ★★☆☆☆ It was okay at first… Pain incarnated · 25 Aug 2024
    When I first started, this game was great! The controls were simple and easy to learn, and the tanks were accurately modeled and detailed amazingly! The first few matches were fun and saw a lot of action, until you advance just ONE tier higher. Premiums flooded the map, people who joined 3 minutes ago and payed a few bucks to get a good tank. It’s impossible to penetrate these premiums and where you can get through there is nothing to destroy. The free tanks have virtually no armor and it takes forever to reload your gun that will inevitably just bounce right off. If you rely on your team, I G

    more

    uarantee that they will drive right by your flaming T 34 while you desperately try to defend yourself from the entire enemy team. If you try to push a point or attack a position, expect zero support and your entire team cowering behind rocks. There are also many other problems such as artillery shells doing nothing against anything that has a millimeter of armor, crew that can withstand anything from a 75mm AP round to the head or fuel exploding right behind them. Your track will fall off if you hit something going 4 inches per hour, and teammates that apparently cant see what’s happening right in front of them. If you play this game, I warn of a frustrating play through and painful experience. This game has a lot of potential but there’s a lot that needs to happen before that.
