[p]Between September 11 and 18, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]TOS-1M Buratino[/h2][p][/p][p]The TOS-1M Buratino is a prototype version of the Russian TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy rocket launcher. It was designed in 1997 at Omsk as an improvement to the old TOS-1 whose roots go back all the way to the Afghan War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the TOS-1M Buratino is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As befits its massive rocket launcher installed on the top of a T-90A MBT chassis, its firepower is all but unparalleled and you are looking at perhaps the most destructive vehicle of Armored Warfare. It is available in two configurations – with fast-launching 122mm rockets and the iconic 220mm rockets that can be unlocked either by installing a skin (Koshmar), or by progressing through an active Battle Path.[/p][p]The TOS-1M 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]Koshmar Bundle[/h2][p][/p][p]Additionally, we've prepared a skin bundle with a new skin. The skin “Koshmar” we have prepared for you is for the TOS-1M Tier 10 Premium TD. Not only is it cool looking, it also unlocks the overprogression modules for you, including the 220mm turret and the 220mm thermobaric rockets. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Koshmar Bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: TOS-1M Koshmar[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Armata 152[/h2][p][/p][p]The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate![/p][p]The Armata 152 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][/p][h2]Boyevaya Podruga Bundle (T-14 Armata)[/h2][p][/p][p]The Boyevaya Podruga skin for the T-14 Armata Tier 10 Main Battle Tank is modeled after a famous Soviet WW2 tank, commanded by Mariya Oktyabrskaya. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Boyevaya Podruga bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: Boyevaya Podruga for T-14 Armata[/p]
• [p]8 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Bundle (T-80UM-1)[/h2][p][/p][p]This skin for the T-80UM-1 Tier 8 MBT is based on the camouflage and markings as seen in 2006 on a T-80U in Kubinka. You can read more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]We are offering the Defender skin in a bundle, which includes:[/p]

• [p]Defender skin for the T-80UM-1 MBT[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BMP-1P Spetsnaz Skin[/h2][p][/p][p]The skin for the BMP-1P Tier 4 AFV is based on a BMP-1 belonging to the 101st Special Operations Brigade of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as seen during the Battle of Grozny in 1996. You can read more in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Spetsnaz Bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: Spetsnaz[/p]
• [p]Russian (Interior Forces) camouflage[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Kurganets-25[/h2][p][/p][p]The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.[/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]Gadyuka[/h2][p][/p][p]The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Iron Crate[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. The Iron Crate is available in our Web Shop![/p][p][/p][p]This crate allows you to win a Tier 4 to Tier 10 Premium vehicle (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles, including:[/p]

• [p]ZTL-11 Tier 9 Premium TD[/p]
• [p]VN17 Tier 8 Premium AFV[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/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 are happy to announce that the Update 0.360 is now available![/p][p][/p][h2]List of Update 0.360 Changes[/h2][p][/p][p]Premium Vehicles for Gold[/p][p]In this update, we are adding the following Premium vehicles to the dealer trees. These are now available for Gold:[/p]

• [p]Sophie Wölfli: M60-2000 Tier 7 MBT for 5500 Gold[/p]
• [p]Sophie Wölfli: Stryker ADATS Tier 9 TD for 14000 Gold[/p]
• [p]Zhang Feng: T-72M2 Wilk Tier 6 MBT for 3250 Gold[/p]
• [p]Zhang Feng: WWO Wilk Tier 8 TD for 9000 Gold[/p]
• [p]Zhang Feng: VT5 Tier 9 LT for 14000 Gold[/p]
• [p]Marat Shishkin: BMPT Mod.2000 Tier 8 TD for 9000 Gold[/p]
• [p]Marat Shishkin: Challenger Falcon Tier 8 MBT for 9000 Gold[/p]
• [p]Francine De Laroche: Type 90 Tier 7 MBT for 5500 Gold[/p]

[p]XM1302 Adjustment[/p][p]We have analyzed the statistics of the new XM1302 Light Tank and have determined that the vehicle is a little bit too strong. Alright, not just a little bit – we are looking at 65% PvP winrate, making it currently hands down the best vehicle in the game by a wide margin, which is something that has to be addressed.[/p][p]We are therefore making the following adjustments:[/p]

• [p]Removed the Spall Liner module increasing the vehicle’s hitpoints[/p]
• [p]Removed the Improved Transmission module increasing the vehicle’s maximum speed[/p]
• [p]Improved the vehicle’s hitpoints to 3300[/p]
• [p]Improved the vehicle’s maximum speed to 85 km/h[/p]
• [p]Reduced the Mitigation ability damage reduction values from 50%/75%/90% to 40%/55%/70% (the ability still reduces module damage taken)[/p]

[p]In short, we removed two modules but improved the base values to compensate (even a bit beyond the bonus the modules provided) and reduced the damage reduction of the Mitigation ability (the speed thresholds remain the same). The vehicle will still be very powerful (we haven’t nerfed its firepower) but now won’t be all but unstoppable.[/p][p]Rough Riders Battle Path[/p][p]In this update, we are fixing the following issues of the Rough Riders Battle Path and its vehicles:[/p]

• [p]We (fingers crossed) fixed the issue plaguing the Battle Path Shop where players weren’t able to buy items due to the fact that what they see in the Shop is not what the server sees. Such desynchronizations should no longer occur[/p]
• [p]Rolling Thunder mission can no longer be completed using any vehicle and requires Light Tanks as intended[/p]
• [p]All MERDCS camouflages from the main progression are now correctly compensated (one was missing and we will send the missing Battle Coins to the affected players)[/p]
• [p]ELKE: Vehicle is now assigned to Oscar Faraday[/p]

[p]Vehicle Fixes and Updates[/p][p]With each patch we continue (and will continue) to update vehicles based on your feedback and fix them. In this update, we have the following changes for you:[/p]

• [p]Fixed the collision model of a number of vehicles (T-80B, Type 90-II, VFM5, ZBL-08, Assaulter, BMP-2M, BMP-3M, Challenger 1)[/p]

• [p]Puma: Tracks no longer move faster than roadwheels[/p]

• [p]ZTZ-20: Small visual model fixes[/p]

[p]General Changes[/p]

• [p]Fixed the Beasts of Steel event mission description (added Tier requirement)[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue that produced a black screen upon pressing the Reconnect button (when experiencing a disconnect)[/p]

• [p]Added a number of future event assets[/p]
