Armored Warfare News

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today, we’d like to tell you more about the upcoming Battle Path campaign called “On the Hunt” as a whole along with the changes and improvements we’ve prepared for you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Preorder[/h2][p][/p][p]You can now secure the access to the Battle Path early (and with preorder-exclusive items) in the Web Shop “Battle Path” section. The following bundles are available:[/p]

• [p]On the Hunt access with the Prowler camouflage and avatar[/p]
• [p]On the Hunt access with 50.000 Battle Coins, the Prowler camouflage and avatar[/p]
• [p]On the Hunt access with 10 Battle Coin boosters, the Prowler camouflage and avatar[/p]

[p]The camouflage resembles a Ghillie suit to give your vehicle that coveted sniper look – ideal for the Battle Path’s topic. As for the avatar – few things are as badass as modern snipers. And you want to be a badass, don’t you?[/p][p][/p][p]For more details about the On the Hunt Battle Path, please read below.[/p][p]The bundles are available in our Web Shop:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]On the Hunt[/h2][p][/p][p]This Battle Path’s theme is, as its name suggests, the art of the hunt. Become the ultimate long-range expert you’re meant to be and bend guided missiles (and their flight trajectory) to your will thanks to a new mechanic called First-Person Missile Control.[/p][p]The rewards are this time heavily inspired by Armored Warfare’s many different maps. The themes, the colors, the pattern – everything fits like a glove and will allow you to blend in with your environment while searching for your prey.[/p][p]There will be 50 levels of waiting for you as usual. Let’s start with the vehicles, which all feature guided missiles with the First-Person Missile Control mechanic:[/p]

• [p]Bulsae-6 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
• [p]Pereh Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
• [p]Pantsir-S1 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]

[p]But that’s not all, as two more (older) Premium vehicles await you as well as a part of the Battle Path level progression system:[/p]

• [p]Taifun Tier 6 Premium TD[/p]
• [p]BMPT Mod.2017 Tier 8 Premium TD[/p]

[p]Still not enough vehicles? Not to worry. The Level progression of the Battle Path contains three Hunter Loot Crates. These will award you with a random Premium vehicle that you do not have yet of Tier 6 or higher, excluding copies of progression vehicles with permanent skins.[/p][p]And if you really have them all? That’s 2000 Gold for you from each of the crates. Oh and the first Hunter Loot Crate is available on Level 1. Now that’s a prize worth hunting for![/p][p]We’ll have some fantastic new skins for you as well, naturally:[/p]

• [p]Ibis skin for Centauro 120 (based on the real-life Centauro used during Operation Ibis in Somalia)[/p]
• [p]Buffel skin for Rooikat 76 (based on the real-life South African camouflage)[/p]
• [p]Hunter skin for Merkava Mk.4M (covering the vehicle with a camouflage net that changes color based on your base paint)[/p]

[p]Dozens of camouflages, decals and base paints await you as well, but the truly important part is that we took plenty of feedback from the current Battle Path to heart and will be making a number of changes based on it as well.[/p][p][/p][p]Possibly the most important part is that we have lowered the Level price to 4200 Battle Coins for all levels, which represents a massive reduction compared to Rough Riders. The vast majority of 24 Battle Coin boosters can now be found in the core progression as well.[/p][p]We have of course overhauled the missions to require Tank Destroyers and made sure they do not require a single vehicle to complete (Scorpion) or require actions unsuitable for Tank Destroyers (like tanking damage). Their rewards are more of a bonus than a part of the main progression, but are sure to come in handy (and there just might be a bonus Hunter Loot Crate for you in there somewhere). Their skipping cost was also reduced to 1000 Battle Coins.[/p][p]Regarding the Battle Path prizes:[/p]

• [p]We are not adding any older prizes this time with compensations – the Battle Path has a larger number of new, original prizes[/p]
• [p]More items will be added to the Battle Path shop[/p]
• [p]Much like the MPF in the current Battle Path you will be able to earn AFT-10 blueprints[/p]

[p]Now, you might be asking, why would you want to get your hands on the AFT-10? Well, that’s because this vehicle will receive an overprogression module (with unlocking requirements similar to other Battle Path vehicles) that will allow you to use the new First Person Missile Control mechanic on this vehicle as well.[/p][p][/p][p]And that’s still not all. We have a surprise for you waiting in this Battle Path that we’re not ready to talk about just yet. In the Rough Riders Battle Path, we mentioned that getting your hands on the top prize would lead to something else, and that’s still the case. The On the Hunt Battle Path will develop that concept further. But more on that later.[/p][p]For now, we hope you’ll enjoy this Battle Path as much as we enjoyed designing it and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Last week we unveiled the first vehicle of the upcoming “On the Hunt” Battle Path, the Bulsae-6, and yesterday we discussed the Pereh, which will be the second one. That leaves us with the third vehicle and the final prize of the event, which is called 72V6 Pantsir-S1.[/p][p][/p][p]The development of the 96K6 Pantsir anti-aircraft system was (the designation 72V6 refers specifically to the combat vehicle itself) was launched as early as in 1990 in the Soviet Union. The purpose of the system was two-fold. Most importantly, it was supposed to cover the long-range S-300P SAMs with its anti-aircraft missiles and short-range autocannons. The secondary task of the system was to destroy lightly armored targets and infantry.[/p][p]The vehicle was initially developed on a wheeled chassis (Ural-53234) but, later on, tracked platforms and even naval versions of the system were developed as well. The first prototype was built in 1994 and was shown to the public a year later. However, the first trials revealed a number of flaws, including the inability to fire on the move or at distances longer than 12km. As a result, the Russian Army lost interest and the project was shelved only to be revived years later as an export product.[/p][p][/p][p]The United Arab Emirates showed interest in it but their requirements essentially meant that the project was overhauled from scratch. The new version included a new turret, new guns and new missiles with significantly higher range (20km). As a result, UAE signed a contract for 50 of these in 2000, becoming the first customer to have bought the Pantsir system. It became a relatively successful export item with Russia ordering its own Pantsir’s in the 2010s. The Pantsir-S1 is an upgraded version with enhanced performance from the 2000s and the most common version of the system.[/p][p]But there are two more items that need to be discussed. First is the chassis. The tracked Pantsir we have is based on a Belarusian chassis called GM-352M1E and was unveiled during the MILEX expo in Minsk in 2005. The second are the missiles. In 2017, the Hermes missiles were unveiled. These can be fired from the Pantsir system and can be also used against ground targets.[/p][p]In Armored Warfare, Pantsir-S1 will be a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer.[/p][p]Gameplay-wise, the Pantsir is well within the theme of relatively fragile Tank Destroyers armed with powerful missiles that feature the first-person missile control mechanics. This is not exactly realistic for the Pantsir-S1 since the Hermes missiles do not have an optical guidance channel but we took the liberty of introducing it this way for the sake of gameplay diversity.[/p][p][/p][p]As you can see, the Pantsir-S1 features four banks of powerful guided missiles that are loaded and fired in turn. Since the Pereh also features twelve missiles, what will be the main differences between the Pantsir, the Pereh and the Bulsae?[/p][p]For one, the Pantsir-S1 features two rapid-fire 30mm autocannons capable of shredding softer targets in seconds. But it’s the missiles that are truly terrifying with 2 seconds between launches and their damage output. Combined, the firepower of the system is extremely high.[/p][p]And another thing – the Pantsir-S1 will be able to launch multiple missiles at once, just like the real thing, even in the first person control mode. How does that work, you might ask? Quite simply, really – of the flying missiles, the camera (and control) is attached to the first one of those in the air and the other missile follows it, arriving at the target simultaneously and thus overwhelming its potential defenses.[/p][p][/p][p]Another difference is the presence of the Radar active ability. Simply put, while the other Tank Destroyers aren’t exactly great spotters, the Pantsir-S1 can enhance its spotting ability by activating the radar on top of the turret. This in turn will reduce its camouflage from 30% to 25%, but will increase the view range from 350m to 385m and improve its ability to spot through foliage.[/p][p]The Pantsir-S1 will also be relatively mobile thanks to its low weight, allowing for relatively quick movement across the map. It is, of course, no race-car, but few vehicles can match its punch, especially at long distances. Whether you like to stand back and hurl missile after missile at unsuspecting targets or like to spice things up by some close range autocannon action, the Pantsir-S1 is here to deliver.[/p][p][/p][p]And with that we’re wrapping up this Battle Path’s vehicle features. Or are we? That’s right, we still have a surprise or two up our sleeves and we guarantee you’ll like them. Stay tuned because more info is coming soon and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We are happy to announce that the Update 0.370 is now available![/p][p][/p][h2]List of Update 0.370 Changes[/h2][p][/p][p]Engine Core Updates[/p][p]In today’s update, we are launching a number of engine changes that we have been working on for several months. In order to modernize the game, we began the process of overhauling the engine core to include, amongst other things, proper multithreading, increased UI performance as well as DX12 support (which is currently unavailable to public, awaiting further testing).[/p][p]However, despite our best efforts, given the extent of the game’s core updates, there is a certain risk of unpredictable behavior on some configurations, such various UI-related bugs. We’d like to ask you to please inform us of any new issues you may encounter by submitting a support ticket and attaching your logs to it (logs can be obtained in the Launcher, Settings window). Submitting a ticket to Support is critical to our efforts as any other means of reports (for example, Discord) come with a risk of your feedback being lost or overlooked. We thank for all your help in advance.[/p][p]Skins for Gold[/p][p]In this update we are adding the option to buy most skins in the game directly for Gold. Skins can be purchased in the Customization window by simply clicking on them in the upper left corner and selecting the purchase option.[/p][p]The vast majority of skins are available this way. Skins that are excluded from this are:[/p]
