Best Skins in War Thunder Ranked

10. White Machine | F16

The White Machine skin is created by Jin_Master in War Thunder Live (WT Live) and it is a pristinely created camouflage that has a great array of steel hues flowing across the coverage of the skin. It does however look closer to a common skin but there is no doubt that it is still an excellent skin that should get a lot of attention from the community.

9. Miss America | P-51

The P-51 Miss America skin that can be found on Nexus Mods is great for anyone who is looking for a patriotic skin for their favorite plane.

8. Nightmare (Night Fighter) | Typhoon Mk 1B Late

Created by AngryNerdGaming this Night Fighter skin is ideal for those who are looking for a stealth-orientated skin.

7. 1940 Hazard Camoflague | T-34

Sometimes players can be on the hunt for skins related to tanks instead of just planes and this Hazard skin for the T-34 created by Nyte Skye definitely delivers on a skin that isn’t massively removed from reality but still keeps enough uniqueness. One of the drawbacks to the skin is that you will be extremely visible on the field so be sure to throw back a heavy punch of firepower toward your foes within the game.
