How do I get in?
After downloading the game, then the gaijin pass, and checking my Google authentication, I was never able to actually get into the game. Why is my user name and passwords not enough?

The AI freaking sucks on the bombers
The AI guns on the bomber didn’t even shoot all the enemies that were literally shooting me none of them reacted so I died
★★★★ PhillDoesIt 5/7/2026 v1.23.2.23
Unplayable?
War thunder on PC, awesome. War thunder mobile? TERRIBLE. There’s so many different controls, the auto tracking and zooming that you disable but somehow is still activated. Where is the realistic game mode at? Like yeah it’s a good try at bringing it to the mobile side but if you have a regular phone even a plus like I do there’s no way to play the game and use multiple control functions without tapping on another control. I suggest trying a tablet? Even then idk. I don’t support it.
★★★★ JDB8989 5/6/2026 v1.23.2.23
No actual players
I noticed there are now actual players instead there’s Ai pretending to be players

★★★★ mikelprz 5/2/2026 v1.23.2.23
Fake Reviews!
Game is lopsided matches. Game matches you against higher level tanks no matter how many upgrades you do to your own tanks.

Balance
Unbalance matmaking, cheated enemies and Puma’s armor is too thick and it’s too overpowered.
★★★★ Bismarck! 5/2/2026 v1.23.2.23
Worst decision they made for mobile war thunder
They need to take out the project tank that’s for the Russian tech tree it should not be in a mobile game
★★★★ Jeremiahg1068 4/30/2026 v1.23.2.23
Bad SL gains in top tier naval
A decent match in top tier and I only earn 5k SL. This is bad gaijin please fix your game. You haven’t fixed the Bomber sights like I said either to make the dot sight bigger or darker. Please FIX YOUR GAME!

★★★★ Bruce Mayer 4/29/2026 v1.23.2.23
Review
I have 700+ hours on this game and I blame it for everything negative on my life, the happiness of a kill can never compensate for the pain and suffering of each death.
★★★★ Tbird t 4/29/2026 v1.23.2.23
My opinion
Flying and shooting is fun not easy but fun I’d love to fly a newer generation jet but this game wants 40$ ridiculous how this game is still running
★★★★ Shilo520 4/29/2026 v1.23.2.23
BAD GAME
Just another rage baiting game that fails to operate in fair play. Built by losers for losers. Go touch some grass LOSERS.

The C-2B problem
The C-2B is terrorizing servers with its BMW 003 Rocket Boosters

Gambling 13+ Predators
I have contacted Apple and Google about games that prey on children with a list of inappropriate content in games rated inconsistently with adult content. For the most part they respond and take action quickly.
War Thunder Mobile has been increasing their paywall and gambling mechanics recently with weekly updates that use well documented systems to attract players to high risk content. These tactics are proven to cause addiction leading to poor impulse control and disasterous financial repercussions.
Other gaming companies have taken steps to inform and/or control access to “loot box”and“surprise mechanics” (the industries word play for gambling), and even displaying odds related to what items are produced by ratio or percentage.
You won’t find any of this in War Thunder Mobile (or its original port). Even NetEase provides this information in-game for each gambling item, and if you know of NE that’s pretty impressive.
Mobile gaming, especially in states like Floriduh, offer children easy and simple access to gambling. It’s up to us to ensure our children and financial accounts are protected. Raise the rating to 18+!
Regional Differences: While ESRB covers North America, other regions have their own bodies, such as PEGI (Europe), USK (Germany), and ACB (Australia).
IARC: The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) simplifies the rating process for mobile/digital games internationally.

I want to fly my plane but I can’t because I have to download something that I don’t want to

The object problem
The object 279 is way too overpowered. Please remove it or send it up to Vlll it has been terrorizing servers for too long
★★★★ Sleepy bob has stinky toes 4/24/2026 v1.23.2.23
this hame is p2w with over powerd bots.
Even from nowhere you can randomly die. Even if your gear is op, you will lose all the time. And if you are a starter, you get placed in matches with “veterans”. So if you just started, you will instantly die because of a random guse of wind.
★★★★★ Boomer9393 5/7/2026 v1.23.2.23
War Thunder Mobile
Honestly had the potential to be a great game. But it is just infuriating. It’s not a pay to progress game, it’s a pay to win game. You can grind and grind all you want, but there are tanks that are no longer available (such as the object 279) that were once pay to win tanks, and they are overpowered and under-tiered. May as well be playing a level 9 tank against level 6. And the game is full of tanks like that. Not even available to the chance of luck in a crate anymore. And you have to deal with people steamrolling your entire team with 1 tank. Unbalanced tiers and skill based match making will just bounce you between enemies that can’t put up a fight at all and teams that are so good at the game that you don’t even get a kill. And it is all a ploy to get you to buy in game items to try and give yourself a chance. Spent a lot of time on this game, grinder to have 5 tanks in every tier from 1-9 and the more I play the more I want to delete it, which I will be doing soon.
★★★★★ Eternalhell1 5/7/2026 v1.23.2.23
Wtf is this?
I’m literally using a KV-1 with the max shell, I used it on a light tank, “NON-PENETRATION” ON THE SIDE ARMOR, HOW? THEN HE KILLS ME WITH THE WORST SHELL FOR HIS TANK, HOW DO I KNOW? CAUSE I HAVE THE LIGHT TANK HE WAS USING, I WOULD KNOW A FING KV-1 WOULD BLOW A DAMN LIGHT TANK TO SMITHERIENS OR SOMETHING, THE TANK WAS A PT-76B, AND I GET ONE TAPPED BY A SHERMAN WHEN I USE IT, BUT WHEN SOMEONE ELSE USES IT THEY SURVIVE THE MAX SHELL FROM A KV-1, FIX YOUR GAME!!
★★★★★ Fy vice 5/7/2026 v1.23.2.23
It’s ok
I really don’t like how there’s not a realistic mode doesn’t make sense. All other games have ranked modes and war thunder already has a realism mode, but they won’t implement it into their mobile game does make since
