It consists of a heavily modified and lengthened T-72A hull and a T-72 turret fitted with an automatic loading mechanism and a 140mm gun called Bagheera. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BMT-72-140 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It offers great performance in all things that matter as it has thick armor, active protection systems, good mobility and excellent firepower. It can also deploy all standard types of infantry to improve either its destructive abilities or to spot enemies earlier than other vehicles of its class.[/p][p]The BMT-72-140 is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Typhoon-VDV[/h2][p][/p][p]The Typhoon-VDV is a modern Russian reconnaissance and special use vehicle. It is perhaps the best-armed version of the Typhoon platform, featuring a Spitsa turret. Several vehicles of this type have been built and are currently in use by the Russian military. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Typhoon-VDV is a Tier 10 Premium AFV. It is a powerful vehicle on its own, featuring high firepower in the form of 30mm autocannon and an ATGM launcher with two tubes loaded with thermobaric missiles that can be launched both at once. Its task on the battlefield is supporting other scout vehicles by increasing their spotting capabilities thanks to a new active ability.[/p][p]The Typhoon-VDV Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BMP-2M Berezhok[/h2][p][/p][p]The BMP-2M Berezhok is one of the latest modifications of the now obsolete Soviet BMP-2. It received a new turret and a limited numbers of these infantry fighting vehicles are already in service. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BMP-2M is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. While not exactly well-armored, it is fitted with multiple weapon systems, including a powerful 30mm autocannon and deadly Kornet missiles. It is truly one of the most hard-punching AFVs in the game and is suitable for aggressive, skilled players.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BTR-82A[/h2][p][/p][p]The BTR-82A is the standard wheeled armored fighting vehicle of the Russian army. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BTR-82A is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. Despite its light armor, the BTR-82A can – especially in its upgraded form with missile launchers – hit the enemy where it hurts. Fast, maneuverable and rugged, in skilled hands the BTR-82A turns into one of the deadliest machines of its Tier.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Msta-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Msta-S SPG was developed as a replacement to the older 2S3 Akatsiya. The goal was to match (or surpass) the newly developed NATO artillery pieces with long 155mm guns. The production began in 1988 and is currently ongoing with a modernized variant rolling out for the Russian military. More than 500 Msta-S SPGs are still in Russian service and dozens were exported to several other countries. It has seen some combat during the Second Chechen War and the War in Donbass. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Msta-S is a Tier 9 Self-Propelled Gun, which makes it only usable in the Global Operations mode and in PvE. It comes with two shell types – a slow-flying one with a high flight arc, and a fast-flying one for use against more mobile targets.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Khrizantema-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Treasure Trove[/h2][p][/p][p]Today, we have a special offer for you.

Commanders!

A little under two months ago, we have launched the “Design a Future Legendary Vehicle” event and promised to allow you to decide on a future Legendary Vehicle that’s coming to Armored Warfare – and we are right now making good on that promised. From over 400 designs and ideas submitted, we narrowed the choices down to these designs.

Please read carefully through all the options and then use the form on the bottom of the article to vote on them.

Important:

• As per the initially published rules, you have to own at least 1500 Legendary Blueprints (or a single Legendary Vehicle, that of course counts as well) in order to vote (some are available right now in Web Shop)
• We will perform a check as soon as the voting phase closes, so make sure you also enter your ingame name correctly – if you make a typo, your vote will be forfeit
• You can only vote once per account

Please also note:

Each submission has three categories – short summary (the core of the idea), gameplay (what the design brings to Armored Warfare) and a link to an archive. The first two categories are redacted by the Armored Warfare team (and therefore represent a more refined representation of the design than the initial entry) but the archive contains the files the players have submitted, so you can check it for more details on the design.

The voting will be available until March 22, 2026 (21:59 CET).

With that being said, here are the candidates (in alphabetical order based on the name of the author):

And that’s it, commanders. You can vote using this form.

Before voting, please make sure that you are eligible for voting and that you have considered the matter at hand carefully. Your choice will influence the game in a significant way because right now you are not only selecting one Legendary Vehicle (or potentially even more vehicles down the line), but also a trend that we will pay a close attention to.

Thank you for your participation and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]

• [p]KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]

[p]Between March 17, 2026 and March 24, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]KF51 Panther[/h2][p][/p][p]The KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank first appeared in 2022 as a demonstrator of Rheinmetall’s capabilities, mating a modified Leopard 2 hull with a brand-new turret armed not only with cutting edge weaponry, but also a missile launcher. The Panther is one of western next-gen MBT projects, much like the EMBT and the next-generation Abrams. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the KF51 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. The KF51 Panther is at its core a medium-range vehicle with reliable armor and solid firepower that, in addition to its 130mm gun and NERA armor, boasts a powerful missile launcher. This combination makes it one of the most powerful MBTs you can encounter in the game.[/p][p]The KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We have sorted out all the 400 submissions of the Design a Legendary Vehicle event and are currently preparing the voting phase, in which you will get to decide the next Legendary Vehicle. With that being said, we decided to publish one more high quality entry before the voting phase itself – a vehicle called 20-XX Ilmatar.[/p][p][/p][p]As you can probably tell from the name, the vehicle is once again fictional but, unlike many other fictional submissions, it so well designed and interesting that it was almost instantly approved for the voting phase by our team. Here’s what the author has to say about its fictional history and gameplay.[/p][p]History:[/p][p]This fictional background is intended to be the real-world explanation of the unit irrespective of suggested game elements. The 20-XX vehicle platform is a modular armored vehicle system developed by the fictional Scandinavian multinational defense company Magnusson Virtanen, AB in the late 2020s and early 2030s. Intended to increase the indigenous and independent availability of a heavy AFV platform for Scandinavian regional nations, the 20-XX platform primarily targeted an MBT and heavy IFV shared system, with additional variants expanding into engineering and air-defense roles.[/p][p][/p][p]The platform’s core component is a base hull and mobility system incorporating a series hybrid electric drive system and advanced running gear that allows for flexible packaging of vehicle variants.[/p][p]Deployed by Sweden and Finland in the mid-2030s, 20-XX vehicles suffered from minor teething issues surrounding turbine engine reliability and electronic system stability during early usage, though reached a high median standard of reliability following early adjustments to production units. Ultimately popular among crews due to the ergonomic outfitting of their fighting compartments and well-integrated control systems, the vehicles were considered successful among their home markets, though high initial unit costs ultimately prevented export sales despite attempted global marketing.[/p][p]The configuration described herein is the 20-XX heavy IFV configuration offered for the global export market, reporting name Ilmatar. Named for the goddess of the air and mother to the hero Väinämöinen in Finnish folklore, the Ilmatar provides MBT-class protection and advanced firepower to deploy and support troops in diverse combat environments.[/p][p]Author’s Gameplay Vision:[/p][p]As a general pitch for, I would envision the Ilmatar as offering a new top-tier heavy IFV/TD class vehicle that provides a bit more variety and interest than a normal autocannon platform.[/p][p][/p][p]Its main armament would be the 90mm CTAS gun, which I would envision as either having a straight reload or autocannon-style overheat mechanic, putting its starting DPM at ~20-22K before retrofits, making it comparable to average T10 autocannon damage with the benefit of higher penetration accounting for its top-dog status.[/p][p]Being a more gun-focused unit its missiles could be made comparable to T10 standards while lacking multi-launch or other gimmicks, possibly giving them self-guidance capability to account for the unit’s near-future technology.[/p][p]The 30mm autocannon could be omitted entirely for balance or relegated to the role of an anti-infantry coax with a lower fire rate. The obvious crown jewel/gimmick/show piece of the vehicle would be the elevating turret mechanic. For gameplay purposes I would imagine this as an active ability, replacing the ability to deploy infantry or use an engine boost. In its base state the vehicle could have gun traverse values in the -8 to +20 range, while activating the gun elevation system would increase those to its full -15 to +55 range.[/p][p][/p][p]As a balance tradeoff, activating the elevation system could change the vehicle’s top speed, going from ~75 km/h normally to ~55 km/h with the gun elevated. This could possibly also change the vehicle’s acceleration, with standard mode being MBT-esque, possibly between that of the Namer and T-15, while the elevated mode provides more of quick hybrid drive acceleration but capped speed, with the ability to change gun mode only available under 55 km/h and taking 2-3 seconds to require an active choice from the player to make use of it effectively.[/p][p]Protection would hypothetically be similar to other heavy IFVs/TDs, with a moderate bump in HP due again to its top tier nature putting it more in T10 MBT territory, giving an armor layout with majority protection of the front hull against all threats, with a moderately sized lower front plate weak spot that is smaller for missiles than tank guns, and entirely immune to autocannons. APS would be present against missiles and likely have a moderate to high reload speed between deployments.[/p][p]These are all general suggestions and do not go into too much detail for the sake of being a broad hypothetical.[/p][p]And that’s it for today’s entry, commanders. Stay tuned for more information because the voting phase will start in the near future. As always, we invite you to discuss the topic and express your wishes on Discord or anywhere else. But for now:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]
