War Thunder Ground, Air and Naval Battles: Choosing a Setup Focus

How to organise separate settings for War Thunder ground, air and naval battle types.

Ground, air and naval battles put different information on screen. Keeping one configuration for every mode makes it harder to understand which setting is helping and which is just clutter.

Ground battles

Ground players may want a clean vehicle information view and a radar range that does not crowd the screen. Start with only the labels you need and adjust from there.

Air battles

Air battles can make distance and vehicle type more important. Review the available target information and keep a separate configuration so it does not overwrite your ground preferences.

Naval sessions benefit from clear map information and readable range settings. Save a separate preset after you settle on a layout.
