We have guides that are custom tailored for War Thunder that will show you the ports that need to be forwarded in your router.

War Thunder includes the following styles of play.

Games that are considered action are all about centering the player in the middle of an evolving situation.
In an MMO style game there are hundreds if not thousands of players in the same game world. MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, which means that it is an online only game. Most MMO style games do not have any sort of single player or offline component.
Flight games are similar to car driving games in that you are usually in the cockpit of a plane or helicopter. They can also be from the view of a chase camera. Some flight games are atmospheric and some are space based.
Simulation is a huge category of games that includes driving and flying simulators, social simulations, medical simulations, sports simulations, and even dating simulations. They attempt to mimic the real world in a way that is either educational or rewarding or both. Popular examples include SimCity, FlightGear, and Madden NFL.

How to Port Forward War Thunder

When you are playing War Thunder you might need to forward some ports in your router. Forwarding ports is a useful trick in gaming because it can really help to make your network connection most stable and frequently even faster. Routers were not designed to allow incoming network requests and some games can play tremendously better if an incoming connection is forwarded through the router to the game.

Before You Forward a Port

Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:

The IP address of your router.
The IP address of the device that the game will play on: either your computer or your console.
A list of TCP and UDP ports to forward.

How to click the links to get to your router's IP Address

The easiest way to find your router's IP address is to run our free Router Detector utility. It's a part of the Network Utilities suite of tools and it's completely free to use.

How To Forward Ports

Our Network Utilities software makes port forwarding a breeze. You can be done in just a few minutes.

The process for forwarding a port is usually:

Login to your router.
Locate your routers port forwarding section.
Put the IP address of your computer or gaming console in the correct box in your router.
Put the TCP and UDP ports for your game in the matching boxes in your router.
On occasion you have to reboot your router for the changes to take effect.

After following those steps your ports should be forwarded. Head to our applications and games list for more port forwarding guides.
