Offer: Korean Independence

Commanders!

To celebrate the August 15 Independence Day of South Korea, aside from the mission, we’ve prepared a special set of Korean-themed bundles for you, including:
  • T-80U ROK skin for the T-80U Tier 7 MBT
  • Korean camouflage bundle with real-life camouflages and base paints
  • K1A1 Military bundle with a real-life camouflage and base paints
Between August 15 and August 18, 2022, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]T-80U ROK Skin[/h2]
 

The T-80U Main Battle Tank was the best mass-produced variant of the T-80 series. Back in the 1980s, it was specifically designed to establish Soviet superiority on Cold War battlefields. Featuring new Kontakt-5 set of Explosive Reactive Armor, it was possibly the most dangerous Soviet Main Battle Tank of the time. To read more about its history, please visit our dedicated article.



The T-80U ROK skin turns your progression MBT into the model used by South Korea. This Asian country acquired more over a score of these tanks in the 1990s as a partial payment for an old Soviet-era debt and has been using them ever since. You can read more about this skin in our dedicated article.

This skin is available in the T-80U ROK bundle, which contains:
  • T-80U ROK skin for T-80U MBT
  • 7 days of Premium Time
  • 500 Gold

Please note that in order to use the skin, you need to own the T-80U Tier 7 progression MBT.

 

 

 
[h2]Korean Camouflages[/h2]
 

In this offer, we have two camouflages and two base paints for you in one bundle.

The Korean (Alternative) camouflage is a take on the standard Korean camouflage that we already have in the game, with slightly different colors and less blurry, brush-painted lines for those of you, who prefer a crisp, clean look. It’s still in use on various Korean MBTs. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The Korean Desert camouflage, on the other hand, was used by the South Korean units sent to Iraq. A small contingent of mostly doctors and engineers was deployed there after the conflict, using, amongst other things, modified Kia trucks. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



And, last but not least, the base paints are also based on real-life appearances. The Korean Export base paint (a shade of a sand color) was used during the unveiling of the AS21 Redback prototype for the Australian military. The Korean Khaki base paint was also used during an expo – this time by Kia on its KLTV light truck prototype (this platform is the basis of the K-153C Raybolt we have in the game).

All four camouflages and base paints can be used on any vehicle that allows visual customization and in any environment.

 

 

 
[h2]K1A1 Military Bundle[/h2]
 

The K1A1 is an upgraded version of the older South-Korean K1 MBT. It’s a very distant relative of the Abrams MBT with the main difference being the presence of a hydro-pneumatic suspension, allowing the vehicle to tilt itself forward, backward and to the sides.



In Armored Warfare, the K1A1 is a Tier 7 Premium MBT. The combination of a 120mm gun, good mobility and solid armor (all of them roughly the same as the M1A1 has) as well as the ability to mark enemy targets for increased damage make it powerful opponent even in its basic form with additional upgrades readily available.

The K1A1 is now available in the Military bundle, which contains:
  • K1A1 Tier 7 Premium MBT
  • Korean (Alternative) camouflage
  • Korean Khaki base paint
  • Korean Export base paint

You can learn more about the Korean (Alternative) camouflage in our dedicated article.

 

 

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

See you on the battlefield!

Mission: South Korean Independence

Commanders!

On August 15, the Republic of Korea (also known as South Korea) celebrates its Independence Day, or Gwangbokjeol (“The day the light returned”), as it is known there. It commemorates the end of more than three decades of Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula after its liberation by the Allies in 1945. The holiday was established in 1948 and is observed to this day by both South Korea and North Korea despite their separation in the aftermath of the Korean War.

Offer: Tank Destroyers

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:
  • AFT-10 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Abrams AGDS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • AMX 10 RCR Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Treasure Trove with 10.000 Gold
Between August 11 and August 18, 2022, the following items will be available:

[h2]AFT-10[/h2]
 

The AFT-10 is a tracked ATGM carrier based on a ZBD-04 IFV hull that carries eight massive Red Arrow-10 guided missiles. In their latest version, these modern ATGMs are capable of devastating even the most modern MBTs at extreme distances and the AFT-10 was designed to do just that – to stop enemy assaults dead in their tracks. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the AFT-10 is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. Its massive ATGM launcher immediately draws comparison with another Tier 10 vehicle, the Kornet-EM. But where Kornet-EM is all about speed, stealth and missile ambushes, the AFT-10 is about one thing and one thing only – uncompromising firepower. It is capable of unleashing devastating missile salvos that can knock out even Tier 10 MBTs in seconds. Additionally, its missiles have a very high penetration value, which means that no matter the angle, no target is truly safe from its reach.

The AFT-10 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]Abrams AGDS[/h2]
 

The Abrams AGDS (Armored Ground Defense System) was a vehicle concept and proposal, drafted in July 1996 by Dr. Asher H. Sharoni (a former colonel in the Israeli Defense Forces) and Lawrence D. Bacon from a Californian company called Western Design Howden. It was supposed to be an air-defense vehicle, protecting the Abrams formations against flying threats, although its weaponry can be deployed against ground targets as well. The United States were, at the time, sorely lacking a vehicle comparable to the Russian Shilka and one of the ideas was to use the Abrams chassis paired with a new turret to produce an armored AA gun that would be able to keep up with the American tank units. This plan was never realized and the vehicle stayed only on paper but you can play the Abrams AGDS in Armored Warfare and experience what it would have been like, had it ever been deployed.



In Armored Warfare, the Abrams AGDS is a very unique Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it so special are its two large guided missile launchers capable of firing an incredibly devastating volley within seconds. The AGDS can devastate practically every opponent on the battlefield with a single salvo, making it one of the best and most effective mid-to-long range vehicles in the game. At close ranges, it can rely on excellent frontal turret protection and its two 35mm autocannons to keep enemies at bay until the missile launcher reloads to unleash another deadly swarm of missiles. The Abrams AGDS is one of the most feared vehicles in Armored Warfare!

 

 

 
[h2]Leclerc T40[/h2]
 

Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.

 

 

 
[h2]AMX-10 RCR[/h2]
 

The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.

 

 

 
[h2]Treasure Trove[/h2]
 

Today, we have a special offer for you. A veritable treasure trove of 10.000 Gold awaits you at a discounted price.



Please note that this item can only be purchased once per user. You can find out more about Gold and its uses in our dedicated article.

 

 

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

See you on the battlefield!
