War Thunder is one of the most underrated MMO military games that anyone can check out. The immersive nature of the title's gameplay along with the whole host of vehicles that can be used to rain death and destruction on your enemies makes it a great title to play with friends, and it's a shame that more people don't know about this wonderful game.
If you do manage to get into this gripping title, then there are several mods that can be downloaded to augment the experience even more. Since this game is an MMO, not a lot can be changed when it comes to the core gameplay loop. So, expect to see a lot of mods on this list that are purely for cosmetic purposes.
10 Historically Correct Luftwaffe Swastikas
The German vehicles in the game are pretty accurate to their real-world counterparts. However, one big change in the design of these vehicles is that they lack the infamous Swastika design on their bodies.
This can be fixed with a mod that adds these historically correct Swastikas to the game's German planes. It might seem like a small change, but players who love realism and historical accuracy in their games will enjoy this small change in War Thunder.
9 GF Skin Installer
Sometimes, installing vehicle skins in War Thunder can be a huge chore. This tool makes it so that the process is easier while letting people choose exactly which skins they want to install in the first place.
Most of these skins are camos and do a great job of making the warzone feel more real and dangerous. It's a great mod if you want War Thunder to be as immersive as possible.
8 12 Tank Skins For All Tanks
Controlling a tank in War Thunder is immensely satisfying, as you would expect. Blasting enemies with these tanks makes for a great time, although these vehicles have glaring weaknesses of their own.
This mod adds a total of twelve different skins for all the tanks in the game. It's a simple yet great mod if you want some variety in the visuals of these tanks in the game.
7 Spitfire Pack
The Spitfire is one of the most iconic wartime planes of all time. Engaging in dogfights with this vehicle in War Thunder makes for a great time as you hunt down and shoot enemy planes down.
This mod adds a total of six new camos to decorate the Spitfire with. Visual variety is always great in any title, and War Thunder is no exception to this golden rule.
6 XP-38G Or P-38G Lightning With Invasion Stripes
The XP-38G is one of the few original vehicles in War Thunder that players can use. This plane is a ton of fun to control, to the point where most people won't even mind that its inclusion isn't exactly historically accurate.
This mod adds tail identifiers and invasion stripes to the plane's body. This can be used for the P-38G as well, although this involves some file replacements which can be a bit too much for some players.
5 IFN1 Vehicle Re-Name Mod
Historical accuracy is a huge deal for certain players who enjoy checking out war simulators. While War Thunder does a decent job of replicating this accuracy, there are times when it takes certain liberties when it comes to actual history.
Fans who don't like this at all can download this mod that makes the names of certain vehicles, ammo, and guns more historically accurate. It's a great way for players to immerse themselves in this setting even more.
4 P-40E Checker-Tail Tigershark
Another plane that players love to fly in the game is the P-40E. War Thunder has its fair share of great planes in the game, so the fact that this one is a favorite of many shows just how effective it is in aerial combat.
This mod adds a pretty unique skin to the plane that makes it look like an airborne tiger! Your mileage may vary, but players who love the look of this custom skin will have a great time indeed.
3 B-25J-20 Night Bomber
The B-25J-20 Mitchell is a plane that can cause utter devastation if it isn't stopped in its tracks. The bombs it can deploy deal some serious damage to enemy infrastructure and troops, making it a great asset that you will love to use in the game.
This mod gives a sleek black skin to the plane, giving it more of a stealthy look. It's a great way to make nighttime bombing raids feel as realistic and engaging as possible.
2 Mega Skin Pack
Given the sheer number of skins that players can download for this game, it's easy to see why you might get overwhelmed while making a decision. This mod serves as a viable solution in this regard.
It adds a whopping 108 skins to the game that can be used on a myriad of vehicles. If you don't want to individually download each skin mod for the game, then this mega pack is a great one-stop solution.
1 Raw Steel Or Chrome Tanks
Sometimes, a tank that looks like it was rolled fresh out of the factory can have an allure of its own. This is precisely the look that is replicated by the Raw Steel or Chrome Tanks mod.
The tanks in this mod look pretty great indeed, although it might be more of an acquired taste. Suffice to say, fans who want these plain and sleek looks will have a great time using these skins.
