Event: Design a Legendary Vehicle

[p]Commanders![/p][p]With the new Legendary Vehicles feature have now released, we thought we’d give you the opportunity to not only participate on future vehicle decision-making, but also leave your mark on Armored Warfare forever by helping us design a Legendary Vehicle that will become available this year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The big change compared to similar such events is this:[/p][p]It doesn’t have to be a real-life vehicle. You can design your own tank.[/p][p]In other words, you can make it the way you want it (within reason, see more details below) and if others like it enough, it’ll win and your creation will be immortalized in Armored Warfare under your name.You are, of course, free to also suggest an existing vehicle and support your suggestion with photographs. That is just as valid.[/p][p][/p][h2]How to Participate[/h2][p][/p][p]The participation is quite simple (as long as you follow the rules). Create a vehicle design and submit it via our dedicated form until February 15, 2026.[/p][p]The suitable candidates will then be presented to you in a manner of a poll. Your votes will decide the winner and the player who submits the winning proposal will be the first to receive this vehicle as soon as it is introduced to the game.[/p][p]There are, however, two eligibility conditions:[/p]

[p]In order to submit a proposal, you have to have obtained at least 1000 Legendary Vehicle blueprints by the closure of the of the form (by February 15, 2026)[/p]
[p]In order to vote, you have to have obtained at least 1500 Legendary Vehicle blueprints at the moment of the end of the voting phase (roughly by end of February, 2026)[/p]

[p]Furthermore, the amount of options that’ll go into the voting phase will be limited to around twenty vehicles (or more or less, depending on the quality submissions we will receive). Read below for more details.[/p][p][/p][h2]What to Submit[/h2][p][/p][p]Please make sure to carefully read this event’s rules regarding what submissions are acceptable and how to properly make a submission.[/p][p]We are looking for a future Legendary Vehicle, which is a very broad category. There aren’t that many restrictions that apply here.[/p]

[p]It has to be a ground combat vehicle (no helicopters, hovercraft or flying saucers)[/p]
[p]It has to be at least somewhat appropriate (no, we won’t be adding Maus as a Legendary Vehicle)[/p]
[p]New weapon types are okay within reason (we can imagine a laser-armed vehicle, but atomic shells are obviously not going to happen)[/p]
[p]It can be older, however (under certain circumstances we can imagine adding a Legendary T-55 for example, depending on its gameplay mechanics, but that’s for you to consider)[/p]
[p]The usual contest rules apply (the vehicle can’t be someone else’s copyrighted work)[/p]

[p]There’s also another important point.[/p][p]We want to see effort in any submissions you make, commanders. The more elaborate your proposal, the higher the chance it’ll appear in the voting and the higher the chance it gets implemented (while we guarantee the winner of the contest to make it into the game, nobody prevents us from implementing more than one proposal from the list (in which case, whoever’s proposal we select will be rewarded the same way as the winner of the contest).[/p][p]And, on the contrary, a single AI generated image paired with two sentences is almost guaranteed to not appear in the voting. We aren’t huge fans of AI submissions and while we won’t disqualify such submissions outright (after all, AI can be used as a tool just like any other), it’s not something we widely encourage.[/p][p]For real-life vehicles, we expect at least a couple of photographs, drawings or other references to consider it.[/p][p]Every player may make as many submissions as he or she likes, as long as they are posted until February 15, 2026. Each submission must consist of the following elements:[/p]

[p]Name of the vehicle (for example “BMPT Mod.2025”)[/p]
[p]Proposed Class (feel free to even create a new one)[/p]
[p]Short description (approximately 100-150 words) of the vehicle[/p]
[p]Role in Armored Warfare (describe what you’d like the vehicle to do in the game and why)[/p]
[p]Link to a single archive file containing all materials you wish to submit (text files, renders, photographs, scans... whatever you can think of)[/p]

[p]Please note:[/p]

[p]Should the same vehicle be submitted by two different players, the prize will go to the player who submitted it first[/p]
[p]Make extra sure the file is accessible via the link (for example to Google Drive), we will not be asking for access with our accounts – if the file cannot be accessed, the entry is disqualified automatically[/p]
[p]For creations that are yours, you are (by submitting them) implicitly agreeing to have them introduced to Armored Warfare[/p]

[p]We cannot emphasize this enough, but the effort truly is important. The more elaborate your submissions are, the higher the chance to implement it. Examples of what can be included in the archive file include:[/p]

[p]Texts describing the history or importance of the vehicle, or the process of its creation[/p]
[p]Proposals for game mechanics (this part is[/p]
[p]Photographs[/p]
[p]Drawings[/p]
[p]Renders or any other kind of images[/p]
[p]3D models or screenshots thereof[/p]
[p]Literature references for existing vehicles[/p]

[p]Sky’s the limit. Amaze us, commanders.[/p][p][/p][h2]Rewards[/h2][p][/p][p]And last but not least, there’s the matter of rewards[/p]

[p]The winner of the contest will receive 20.000 Legendary Blueprints (yes, enough for two vehicles), 20.000 Gold and 100.000 Battle Coins,[/p]
[p]Second place will receive 10.000 Legendary Blueprints, 10.000 Gold and 75.000 Battle Coins[/p]
[p]Third place will receive 10.000 Legendary Blueprints, 5.000 Gold and 50.000 Battle Coins[/p]
[p]All participants who make it to the voting phase will receive 1.000 Legendary Blueprints and 25.000 Battle Coins[/p]

[p]We are looking forward to your choices and will see you on the battlefield![/p]
