About This Game

WarBirds 2026 is an MMO and Single Player Combat Flight Simulation and aerial shooter. This is a game where flying skill matters. It is not an arcade shooter. Fly well and survive. Fly poorly and you will be called "target."

Whether flying solo or joining online squadrons, WarBirds offers deep, realistic World War II combat across air, land, and sea. With over 30 years of development, WarBirds continues to set the standard for historical accuracy in flight simulation.

The new WarBirds26 has recent updates including a brand-new User Interface, better graphics, and improved player controls.

Choose between:

• Solo Missions: Over 20 detailed training modules and 12 instant action missions like Bomber Ambush and Rear Gunner. 

• Free Flight Mode: Practice across 5 combat scenarios and 20 plus terrains.

• Online Mode: Engage in massive multiplayer battles or squadron raids. Free voice comms via Discord and live events every week.
  
  

Unlock and pilot over 225 historically accurate WWII aircraft and ground vehicles, including fighters, bombers, tanks, and transports. Each unit features distinct flight characteristics and combat behavior for a truly immersive experience.

Start with Rookie training, climb the ranks, earn medals, and aim for the elite title of World's Greatest Fighter Pilot (WGFP).

Experience scripted missions and multiplayer campaigns based on legendary battles:

• Battle of Britain

• Pearl Harbor

• Midway

• And more

These events rotate throughout the year with dedicated S3 (Squadron Select Series) community support.

WarBirds is a true simulation, not an arcade game. Every aircraft is meticulously modelled. You will need to master realistic flight physics, engine management, and WWII tactics to survive.

• Completely revamped User Interface
