[Coming Soon] New Horizons!

Two new aviation maps will appear in War Thunder Mobile in the upcoming seasonal update!

Sahara Desert

The new Sahara Desert aerial map draws inspiration from Egypt’s stunning landscapes, especially near the historic battle site of El Alamein. From October 23 to November 5, 1942, one of World War II’s most famous battles unfolded here, where British forces successfully broke through the defenses of Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps.

The map features very flat terrain – no mountains, high hills, or hidden spots to shield your plane from enemies. However, “dogfight” enthusiasts will be able to fully unleash their potential, pursuing their foes to a decisive victory!

Ground vehicles and airfields are clearly visible, allowing you to plan your route precisely around visible targets. However, your enemies will also be racing toward their chosen “targets.” Your team must coordinate actions to defend bases from high-altitude bombers, fend off attacking fighters, and strike enemy bases.

Hürtgen

From autumn 1944 to early 1945, the Battle of Hürtgen Forest saw intense fighting between American and German forces in northwestern Germany. Despite their efforts, the Allies were unable to break through German defenses or gain control of the dikes and bridges.

On this new aviation map, inspired by the historic terrain mentioned earlier, you’ll need to locate and destroy enemy bases or ground vehicles hidden among the maples. And if you’re up for it, you can also take out bridges over the Ruhr River.

The picturesque map with its golden, red and brown colors mirrors the real autumn landscapes of North Rhine-Westphalia. However, don’t let the charm of fall distract you, because victory awaits only the most alert, fast and determined pilots!

The map “Hürtgen” will appear in the game not from the start of the season, but a little later.

Pilots, we wish you clear skies and glorious victories on the new aviation maps!
