Offer: Week of Russia

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • Russian Desert Camouflage Bundle with Object 187
  • Nakidka skin for T-90MS
  • Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • BMPT Mod.2000 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Battle Coins
Between September 9 and 16, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]Desert Camouflage Bundle[/h2]


This bundle contains two Russian modern desert camouflages – one belonging to the 201st Military Base located in Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and the other belonging to the T-90A tanks stationed in Syria during the Russian military aid period between 2015 and 2020. You can read more about these camouflages in our dedicated article.



Despite their name, the camouflages can be used in any environment and on any vehicles that allow you to customize them visually. They are available in a heavily discounted bundle containing the following items:
  • Object 187 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Russian Desert Camo #1
  • Russian Desert Camo #2
  • 1.500 Gold







[h2]Nakidka Skin[/h2]


Nakidka is a special system, developed in the early 2000s in Russia by the “NII Stali” military research institute in Moscow. In its core, it’s a camouflage made of an undisclosed radio-absorbing and IR-dampening material, intended to make large vehicles such as tanks easy to conceal on the battlefield, even from radars and thermal imagers. The model we have decided to implement in Armored Warfare comes from 2012, when an upgraded Nakidka system was demonstrated on a T-90MS MBT intended for export. You can read more in our dedicated article.



The skin is available as a part of the Nakidka Bundle, which contains the following items:
  • Nakidka skin for T-90MS
  • 5 Platinum Loot Crates
  • 1.000 Gold






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






[h2]BMPT Mod.2000[/h2]


The BMPT Mod.2000 is, as its name suggests, one of the earliest models of the famous Russian BMPT series, also known under the name “Terminator.” The word BMPT stands for “tank support combat vehicle,” which is exactly what the machine was designed for – to accompany tanks to battle and support them (predominantly in urban environments) against enemy infantry. It consists of a MBT-class hull (a modified T-90 one) and an unmanned turret, armed with a single 30mm automatic cannon and a single four-tube launcher for Kornet-E ATGMs. This particular model was shown to general public in 2000, but didn’t get much attention. It was overhauled almost immediately to the iconic twin-autocannon configuration that’s being used to this day.

In Armored Warfare, the BMPT Mod.2000 is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s a heavy duty vehicle with its hull offering excellent protection for its class. The turret, albeit lightly armored, only takes reduced damage. Even though this vehicle only features a single 30mm autocannon (unlike all the other BMPT series vehicles in the game), this is compensated by the presence of powerful ATGMs that make the BMPT Mod.2000 an extremely potent tank killer.

This vehicle is now available on MY.GAMES Market directly in three different variants:
  • BMPT Mod.2000 without any camouflage
  • BMPT Mod.2000 Reaper with a scary black grim-reaper-themed camouflage
  • BMPT Mod.2000 Sapphire with its hull covered in blue flames

Please note that the latter two camouflages are permanent and cannot be removed from the vehicle if you purchase them.

Preview: Autumn in Armored Warfare

Commanders!

The summer’s all but over with September bringing most of us the usual things that come with autumn – cold, falling leaves, rain... that’s the bad news. The good news is, it’s also bringing the opportunity to play Armored Warfare and participate in all the content that’s coming up. And better believe there’s going to be a lot of it – Update 0.37 will be chock-full of features, improvements and fixes. Today, we’d like to tell you about some of them.

Update 0.37 represents the final part of the Apocalypse season. A new Special Operation will be available upon its release in late September, 2021:


[h2]Special Operation: Death[/h2]


The final mission of the Apocalypse arc takes place in Batumi, a city that froze over following the supervolcano explosion, which took place at the end of the Spirithaven arc. In it, Igor Kopylov and Ivo Rinaldi encounter another person from Rinaldi’s dark past.



In this mission, your squad will be separated into two teams that have to cooperate with each other to survive. Coordination is the key to success, making this mission easy to learn but difficult to master. As usual, this mission will come with its own set of new achievements and rewards.

The following feature will also be available upon release:


[h2]New Contract[/h2]


Update 0.37 is also bringing a new Contract with a special new reward – the Argentinian TAM 2IP Tier 7 Premium Light Tank replacing the T-90A Burlak. This Light Tank will come with a brand-new special ability called Laser Lock, significantly increasing your accuracy over a short period of time. On the downside, activating this ability will make the TAM 2IP illuminate its target with a laser visible to all players on the battlefield even if you aren’t spotted.



However, please note that this is all just preliminary. We are still testing this ability and may change its functionality significantly. Furthermore, this contract will not bring any changes to the actual Contract Missions – the requirements will remain the same as for the Burlak acquisition. We are, however, working on a deep analysis of the Contract system to improve it for future contracts.

[h2]Tier 1 to 6 Overhaul[/h2]


In the past, we’ve overhauled Tiers 7 to 10 and rebalanced all their vehicles completely. In Update 0.37 (albeit not directly at launch), we’ll be doing the same to Tier 1 to 6. Right now, everything regarding this overhaul is very much classified as Work in Progress, but as the actual results crystallize and become clearer, we’ll be sharing as much of our vision as we can with you.



Naturally, this overhaul doesn’t mean we forgot about higher Tiers. The long-awaited CATTB buff will finally be coming to Armored Warfare, as will a number of corrections and improvements.

But is this all? Of course not, far from it.


[h2]Events and Content[/h2]


This autumn, we’ll be running a number of special events, in which we’ll be celebrating communities, holidays and, as usual, the Armored Warfare anniversary where YOU get the gifts:
  • September 15: Storyline Campaign Episode 1 will begin with its epic story and rewards
  • October 3: German Unity Day with its own set of rewards
  • Early October: We’ll give you the opportunity to win a brand-new Tier 10 Premium vehicle (which, admittedly, we’ll also be selling)
  • Mid October: Riders on the Storm (a special Vietnam War-themed anniversary event with another brand-new reward vehicle)
  • Late October: Brand-new Raid with a set of high-tech sci-fi skins for your favorite high Tier vehicles
  • October 31: This year’s Halloween will get really spooky
  • November 11: Polish Independence Day with its own set of rewards

There will also be a series of smaller events and contests to participate in. And as for our plans beyond Update 0.37 – we are already hard at work on those too, including a set of major improvements to Armored Warfare’s PvE, which we hope you will find most satisfactory.

That’s it for now, commanders. We’ll get to you soon with more info on the upcoming features, but until then:

See you on the battlefield!

Battle-Hardened Discounted Bundles

Commanders!

For today’s offer, we’ve prepared a series of Battle-Hardened bundles for five American progression vehicles, including the XM1A3 and the M8-120 Thunderbolt II. These discounted bundles contain Gold as well as the Battle-Hardened status, which will turn your Progression vehicle into a semi-Premium one by increasing its Credit income, Experience income, and by improving its matchmaking quality so that you meet lower Tier opponents in battle than usual, much like Premium vehicles do.



The discounted Battle-Hardened bundles are available for the following vehicles:
  • XM1A3 Tier 10 MBT (50% discount)
  • TTB Tier 9 MBT (45% discount)
  • M1A2C Tier 9 MBT (45% discount)
  • M8-120 Thunderbolt II Tier 9 LT (45% discount)
  • M1A2 Abrams Tier 8 MBT (35% discount)

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

See you on the battlefield!
