[Work in progress] Game interface update

Early announcement of a global redesign of the game interface.

Dear Commanders! As part of the global redesign of the War Thunder Mobile user interface (UI), we are pleased to present the first changes created by our designers. The new interface is designed to be more intuitive, concise, modern, stylish, and most importantly, more convenient and enjoyable for players. It's time to show you the interim results of the redesign and learn your thoughts on these changes. Please note that the final version of the UI changes will only appear in the game after we have reviewed your feedback and made the necessary adjustments.

  1. Tank combat window interface (dark background):
  1. Air combat window interface (light background):
  1. Ship combat window interface (mixed background):
  1. Unit and camouflage viewing window interface:
  1. Settings window interface:
  1. Research tech tree interface:

*Please note that the examples shown are the UI designer's technical interfaces. The information on the vehicle cards may differ from the information in the game.

As can be seen from the screenshots, the designers are proposing a number of changes, the most notable of which are:

  • Change the bright “casual” colors to more formal, serious, classic shades (buttons, score scale, backgrounds, inscriptions);
  • Make the buttons in battle transparent so that they won't cover the location and distract attention;
  • Make the buttons in the menu more stylish, lighter, and easier to read;
  • Change the reload/timer indicator from a fill bar to an animated bar around the perimeter of the button to make it easier to view;
  • Improve the readability of the icons on the buttons.

You can post your feedback, comments, and suggestions on the updated interface prototypes in the comments below this news post, on social media or in the special Discord channel. Please indicate the screenshot number you are referring to in your feedback.

*The UI update does not include the addition of new features (chat, armor analyzer, etc.), mechanics, or modes. This update will only be focused on the interface.

We would like to remind you about the following options for customizing the game interface:

  • Changing the buttons' position in combat – Settings → Controls → Common → Editor for on-screen buttons;
  • Changing the buttons' size in combat – Settings → Controls → Common → Editor for on-screen buttons;
  • Selecting the appearance of the aircraft sight – Settings → Controls → Airc → Crosshair Type (at the bottom).

In planning

In the future, we plan to add transparency settings for elements in combat, improve the readability of interface elements, add descriptions and tooltips, and make other changes that will improve game navigation and customization.


Captains, we wish you good luck and glorious battles in War Thunder Mobile (WTM)!
