Armored Warfare News

Commanders!

Starting on March 27 (17:00), you’ll be able to earn a major bonus to your next Gold purchase (even a truly massive one, like 80 percent) by participating in the Scavenger Run event.



In other words, in case you win such a bonus and buy 1.000 Gold, you’ll receive 1.800 Gold instead. And that can make one hell of a difference (please note, however, that the maximum amount of bonus Gold obtainable this way is 10.000 Gold).



Scavenger Run is, in its core, a very simple event. There are many ruined and abandoned objects across the world of Armored Warfare and your friendly neighborhood arms dealer ran across one of them.



You are now being hired to scout it out. On a small map, you choose one of three bases and then scout its three warehouses by clicking on them. Depending on your finds (determined randomly), you will receive a sizeable bonus to your next Gold purchase.



This event will be active for several days (the counter in Garage will always tell you how much time is left), so if you’re planning to stock on Gold for the next Battle Path or simply want to boost your progress right now, it’s the perfect opportunity to do so.

We hope that you’ll enjoy this new mechanic and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today we’d like to tell you more about the gameplay of two Eclipse Battle Path reward vehicles – the Gadyuka and Gepard.



When selecting these vehicles for the next Battle Path, we were facing a dilemma. Oh one hand, both of these machines have been highly requested, which (along with their compatibility with the story) is the reason we wanted them in the first place.

On the other hand, there’s a reason why we haven’t had them until now. Both of these vehicles feature something that can’t really be found anywhere else in the game – two parallel guns located quite far from one another (in both cases on the opposite sides of the turret). This basically creates a major aiming problem as their shell trajectories and impact points do typically not intersect anywhere near the vehicle.



There were three potential solutions to the matter. The first and the easiest one (but also the dumbest one) was creating a single firing point in the middle of both turrets. That way, while both guns would have a firing effect, there would only be one stream of shells. This solution is fine when there are two guns close together (typically the Terminator series) but for the Gadyuka and Gepard it would just look strange.

Another solution was to set these guns up so the shell trajectory would line up perfectly with the barrels. In real life, in both cases, the shell trajectories do intersect but this happens very far away from the vehicle. Since Armored Warfare doesn’t work with such distances (Gepard’s effective range is around 5km), this would effectively lead to two impact points very far away from each other.

The solution we went with is a compromise of sorts and mechanically it works roughly the same way as it does on the Ontos (which was the baseline for our research). The guns stay positioned correctly but the shell trajectories have been slightly adjusted inwards (by roughly 3 degrees). From the outside, this isn’t truly noticeable but it allows you to fire more accurately at long distances.



At medium or short distances, however, there truly are two impact points and it’s quite difficult to target weakspots with both guns at the same time (we’ve adjusted the gun performance to compensate). The best way to target weakspots is to target them with the reticle first as usual and then “walk” one of the tracer streams onto it.



This is especially interesting for the Gadyuka, creating a rather unique close combat vehicle that’s best played by switching between autocannons (short- to mid-range) and rocket (close range only).



We hope you’ll enjoy the vehicles we’ve prepared for you and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

On the 27th of March 2023, starting from 8:00 CEST, the server will not be available for 2 hours due to a planned server maintenance.



Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• Namer Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
• M60T skin for the Sabra Mk.2 Main Battle Tank
• Merkava Mk.2D and Israeli bundle (with an Israeli camouflage and base paint)
• Syrian camouflage bundle
• Magach 7A Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Camouflage Loot Crate with Spirithaven Raid skins

Between March 23 and March 30, 2023, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]Namer[/h2]
 

The Namer IFV is an Israeli heavy fighting vehicle version of the Namer platform developed in the early 2000s from the Merkava Main Battle Tank. Israel is a small country and cannot affect high infantry losses, which is why the Namer features extremely high levels of protection. The IFV variant is fitted with a Rafael turret, featuring 30mm autocannon and a Spike missile launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Namer is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As its history suggests, it is a superheavy TD with its protection levels being amongst the highest of its class. It is slow and ponderous but its thick front can deflect even advanced shells while maintaining adequate firepower thanks to its autocannon and ATGM combination. Its MBT-like characteristics make this vehicle quite forgiving for new players, but, as they say, a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.

The Namer Tier 10 Premium TD is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]M60T skin for Sabra[/h2]
 

This skin for the Sabra Mk.2 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank is based on the Sabra MBTs that participated in the Turkish incursion into Syria in October 2019 (Operation Peace Spring). It combines a number of real-life elements, turning your Sabra into a Turkish service MBT. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available either as a standalone item or as a part of the M60T bundle, which contains the following items:

• M60T skin for the Sabra Mk.2 MBT
• Sabra Mk.2 Tier 7 Premium MBT
• 500 Gold

That way, you can get this amazing vehicle together with the skin. Alternatively, the Sabra is also available in other bundles without the skin.

[h2]Merkava Mk.2D and Israeli Bundle[/h2]
 

The Merkava IID (also known as Mk.2D) is an advanced version of the standard Mk.2 Merkava, upgraded with a modular “Dor-Dalet” composite armor kit. It’s a tough and unyielding vehicle, featuring a number of battle-proven components such as its 105mm rifled cannon. The first version of the Merkava Mk.2 entered service in 1983 and the last vehicles were phased out in 2016 after thirty long years.



In Armored Warfare, the Merkava IID is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is not equipped with an explosive reactive armor kit, but is, nevertheless, a very tough customer due to the introduction of the applique armor, allowing it to take a lot of damage. Additionally, the tank is equipped with a Ready Rack mechanism, significantly increasing the rate of fire for the first four shots.



This vehicle is also available as a part of the Israeli bundle, which contains the following items:

• Merkava Mk.2D Tier 7 Premium MBT
• Sinai Grey base paint
• Israeli Experimental camouflage
• Israeli Flag decal (free bonus)
• Israeli Flag banner (free bonus)

The Sinai Grey base paint is based on the color commonly used by the Israeli vehicles. You can now apply it to all your Merkava MBTs for maximum realism. The camouflage, on the other hand, is an experimental one and not used in active service. It was developed in the 1980s for a series of trials, but Israel ultimately decided not to adopt it. Still, it’s a piece of history and will fit your Merkava Mk.2 MBT really well. You can read more about both in our dedicated article.

[h2]Syrian Bundle[/h2]
 

This gorgeous Syrian camouflage was seen in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War on a captured Syrian BMP-1 IFV and consists of sand, green and grey stripes. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



It is available as a part of the Syrian Camouflage bundle, which contains the following items:

• Syrian camouflage
• 14 days of Premium Time
• 2.000 Gold
• Syrian Flag decal (free bonus)
• Syrian Flag banner (free bonus)

This camouflage can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available and can be used in all three environments.

[h2]Magach 7A[/h2]
 

The Magach 7A is an early M60 series American tank, upgraded by the Israelis to meet the requirements of the 1990s battlefield, especially to combat the threat of anti-tank guided missiles that had started to find their way into the hands of various terrorist groups in the late 1980s. The most distinctive upgrade is its box-shaped extra turret armor. While well-protected, the tank was quite lethargic when it came to its mobility due to the use of its old engine, a shortcoming that was only corrected in the final evolution step of the Magach series, the Magach 7C. You can read more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Magach 7A is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. With its excellent gun accuracy and aiming time values, the Magach 7A is a good sniper for its class and is perfectly suitable for those players, who want to experience long-range combat but who also want to keep some level of protection and survivability instead of completely relying on mobility and camouflage. It’s a rather sluggish vehicle, but more than a match for anything that it encounters on the battlefield.

[h2]Sabre[/h2]
 

The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.

[h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2]
 

The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.
