War Thunder LFG — Find a Squadron

War Thunder LFG made simple. AnySquad shows live lobbies looking for a squadron across Aviation, Ground Forces or Naval battles — filter by battle type and region, then join a crew instead of queuing solo into a random team.

Why solo queue War Thunder sucks

War Thunder's realistic battles punish a lone vehicle hard — no one covering your flank, no combined-arms support. A squadron coordinating air cover with ground pushes wins battles that a team of solo queuers loses piecemeal.

Find a War Thunder duo, or build a full squad

A duo is the easiest way to play War Thunder with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.

Battle type — say what you play before you queue

War Thunder posts list the battle types still needed: Aviation, Ground Forces, Naval Forces. Put yours in your post too — "need a Aviation, have the rest" gets answered; "looking for one more" gets scrolled past.

How to write a War Thunder LFG post that actually gets replies

Say how many players you need, when you play, and the one thing you care about — a mic, a battle type, a region or just no raging. Leave out the rest: a short post gets answered, a list of requirements gets scrolled past. Once your group is set, close the post.
