A good pilot in a bad plane is sure to defeat a bad pilot in even the most over-powered aircraft. Take note, though, that success in a dogfight is not so much about the plane, but the player. We’ve got you covered on all these fronts, with our picks of the very finest aircraft War Thunder offers collected here in one simple list. Some may be struck by the sheer novelty of helicopters and their support functions in an aerial raid. Others will be besotted with the singular explosive potential of bombers, wreaking havoc on the ground forces that lie vulnerable below. Some players are drawn to fast fighters that dart across the skies, featherlight in their aerobatic performance but concrete in their firepower. But before setting out on a quest of aerial mastery, there’s a more immediate problem facing you – which plane should you pick? While the basics of flight are simple to pick up, the game’s airspace is chock full of more experienced aviators just itching to fill your bird full of holes – which makes learning those advanced combat techniques for yourself feel like a tall order. Taking to the skies in War Thunder planes can be an intimidating prospect.
