Historical Skins – M1A2 Warhammer

Commanders!


As you know, we’ve been introducing skins and camouflages of famous Russian units over the last couple of months, but with the upcoming celebrations of the U.S. Independence Day, it’s time to shift our attention to the American side.





One of the things we wanted to do for a very long time was to introduce a skin based on Operation Desert Storm or the later Iraq War. You too have been requesting this for a while now – after all, there even are some amongst you who actually fought in that war itself. In the past, we added the M1A1 Storm Premium MBT, but that one was only available in limited amounts.





What we want is to give all of you the opportunity to drive a realistic-looking wartime Abrams.


The upcoming Independence Day celebrations are the perfect opportunity to do so since we’ve been celebrating that holiday every year since the game’s launch. Without further ado, we’re happy to present the M1A2 Warhammer skin for the M1A2 Abrams Tier 8 Main Battle Tank.





The skin isn’t based on one particular real vehicle. It’s a mix of elements of multiple Abrams tank photographs from the Iraq War with the emphasis being put on making the model realistic, including:

  • Rust
  • Worn-out camouflage
  • Scorch marks from the use of guns
  • Damaged roadwheels replaced by incorrectly painted green ones


And so on. The vehicle has its own (fictional) name and some insignia roughly referring to the U.S. cavalry. As for the model itself, you may have noticed that the skin comes with a CITV commander’s optics finally modeled on the vehicle. They will be appearing on all M1A2-based models in the future as a part of the Abrams model improvement























We hope that you will enjoy this skin as much as we enjoyed creating it for you and, as always:


See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Object 640, ASCOD LT-105, Commonwealth Camouflages

Commanders!


This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:

  • Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • ASCOD LT-105 Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
  • Marder 2 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • K21 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Commonwealth Camouflages


Between June 18 and June 25, 2020, the following items will be available:



[h2]Object 640[/h2]



The Object 640 is one of the last Soviet era “super tank” monsters, designed to surpass anything the west could field on the battlefield. It featured extremely advanced armor, making it highly resistant to hits while keeping its weight low. The design was truly revolutionary for the late 1980s, but, like with many other Soviet projects of the era, it was discontinued due to the lack of funding. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the Object 640 “Black Eagle” is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is a fast, agile and well-protected vehicle that plays in a typical Russian-style MBT fashion – ideal for players who want to take things up close and personal. This version of the tank does not feature any camouflage and is ready to be customized as you see fit.


The Object 640 MBT is available:

  • In our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle
  • In a Total Destruction bundle on MY.GAMES Market


The Object 640 Total Destruction bundle contains the following items:

  • Object 640 Tier 10 Premium MBT
  • Commander Alexander Cortez
  • 30 days of Premium Time
  • 9.000 Gold








[h2]ASCOD LT-105[/h2]



If there was a word best describing the ASCOD platform, it would be the word “international”. It was developed by the Austrians and the Spanish, adopted by the British and available with a wide range of turrets. The joint project from 1988 eventually led to a number of vehicles using the ASCOD platform, the two best-known results of which are the Austrian Ulan IFV and the Spanish Pizarro IFV. The ASCOD LT-105 was a fire support variant of the platform, offered with pretty much any turret a customer would like, including those from B1 Centauro, M1128 MGS or even a South-African one by Denel. However, after two decades of not having to found any customers, the project was terminated and by 2015-2016, it was removed from all official offers. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


In Armored Warfare, the ASCOD LT-105 is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank. It is fairly unique in one aspect. It is possible to select one of the two turrets: the manned Denel turret with the GT7 gun or the Low-Profile Turret by General Dynamics with the M68 gun, known from the M1128. The first turret has better kinetic shells but fires in a normal manner, while the latter has a clip-style autoloader, balanced by worse overall characteristics of the gun.












[h2]Marder 2[/h2]





The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.





In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.












[h2]K21[/h2]





The K21 is a modern Infantry Fighting Vehicle, designed to replace the K200 series in the Korean Army. It features good protection and a hi-tech weapon system with the "hunter-killer" capability. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.





In Armored Warfare, the K21 is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. In the game, it is an IFV with solid protection and firepower, but also excellent mobility. It carries Mechanized Infantry.












[h2]Commonwealth Camouflages[/h2]





The Commonwealth camouflages consist of three different patterns – an Australian one, a British urban one and an Export jungle one. You can read more about them in our dedicated article.
















Please note that each of these camouflages can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available (any vehicle with the exception of vehicles with permanent skins) and that each of these camouflages can be used in all three environments.









We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:


See you on the battlefield!
