Commanders!

We’d like to invite you to another round of the Bounty Hunt event, in which you will have the opportunity to hunt down some Armored Warfare members of staff or VIPs and destroy them in battle for amazing prizes! This time, we’ll be focusing on some Battle Path content and prizes.



On Thursday, July 22, 2021, between 18:30 and 19:30 CEST, log in to Armored Warfare and play Tier 7 PvP.

We, the staff-members and moderators, will be joining the battles in our CV90105 TML Battle Path reward vehicles and if you manage to destroy one of us, you will be awarded with 2.500 Battle Coins and a 14 day temporary version of the CV90105 TML Tier 7 Premium LT.

The following staff and VIP’s will take part in the event:

• MaciekM4a4
• Silentstalker
• Eskobar68
• ThePsychoCat
• waidler
• PRIMER
• P4nzerMarmelade
• WODZU123098
• Noobdown
• harutti

• REM_X

They will also identify themselves at the beginning of each battle by a chat message.

The rules of the contest are very simple:

• Team-Killing will not win you a prize, unless you count a ban and contest disqualification
• You don’t need to make a note of who you destroyed (although it doesn’t hurt); we’ll keep track
• You can win as many times as you want, they are no limits per player
• The temporary CV90105 TML will only be awarded for your first kill, any further kills will be awarded by Battle Coins only
• Rewards will be distributed after the end of the event

We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

The Northern Wind themed contest series continues and, once again, you have the opportunity to earn a copious amount of Battle Coins!



In this contest, we’ll be asking you to deal as much damage as possible while driving the CV90 Mk.IV Armored Fighting Vehicle. However, please note that only damage dealt by your Mechanized Infantry counts.

You can compete in three categories, separated by mode:

• PvP (Random Battles)
• GLOPS (Global Operations)
• PvE (excluding Heroic Special Operations, War Games)

Post the screenshot of your result (both the detailed and regular tab) in the dedicated contest channel along with your name, category and result number. We also reserve the right to ask for a replay, so make sure you record your battle. The submission template is as such:

• Category / Result / Ingame nickname

Attention – as we will be using a program to collect your results, please make absolutely sure you submit them with the template above. Submissions without this template will be ignored.

As an example, “PvP / 50000 / Johndoe” is correct, while “PvP/50 000/Johndoe” is not due to the incorrectly placed spaces.

The contest ends on July 25, 2021 (23:59 CEST) and all entries must be submitted by then.

The prizes are as follows:

The winners of each category will receive:

• 10.000 Battle Coins for the Northern Wind Battle Path
• 2.500 Gold
• Scandinavian Winter camouflage
• Scandinavian base paint

And don’t forget that we’re still offering another very special prize.

We are planning several of these contests in advance. The player who wins most of them (realistically, likely the player who wins more than one) will also receive the CV90120 Ghost Premium Light Tank (or 20.000 Battle Coins if he or she has it already).

Please note:

• One player can only submit one result, period
• All submitted results must be from the battles that take place during the event
• Platoons are not allowed
• Once submitted, the result must not be removed or edited in any way. Doing so will lead to instant disqualification
• Armored Warfare staff reserves the right to settle any potential result disputes as they see fit and their decisions are final
• The winners will be announced and the prizes will be distributed after the end of the event

Good luck and see you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

For today’s offer, we’ve prepared a series of Battle-Hardened bundles for five Russian progression vehicles, including the T-15 Armata. 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:

• T-15 Armata Tier 10 TD (50% discount)
• BMPT-72 Tier 9 TD (45% discount)
• T-90MS Tagil Tier 9 MBT (45% discount)
• Sprut-SD Tier 8 TD (35% discount)
• Ramka-99 Tier 8 TD (35% discount)

Please note that if you do not own the vehicle in question, you will receive the Battle Hardened status price in Gold instead.



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

See you on the battlefield!

One of the most common requests from your side always has been to be to add more standard PvE missions to the rotation. As we briefly mentioned before, we are planning to add five separate PvE missions to the game and today, we’ll tell you more about them.



All five missions will be taking place in the desert, specifically on modified versions of the Desert Crossing map. Timeline-wise, they’ll take place during the “golden era” of mercenary operations – same as the other standard PvE missions. These assignments will be handed out by Fedor Volkov of the ISD.



You’ll be fighting old and familiar foes such as the NPAA or the PLM. The mechanics of these missions will be fairly simple and the missions will not require the same skill level as Special Operations, with their difficulty being roughly on par with the PvE missions of old.

The following missions will be available:

Desert Path (April 29, 2038): An allied convoy needs to pass near a port occupied by the PLM forces. Your task is to clear the way and secure the route.



Desert Fox (August 11, 2038): The ISD ordered you to infiltrate a Cartel-occupied port and eliminate three high-ranking commanders.



Desert Saber (September 5, 2036): The Lions of Nequiel captured several villages surrounding a local port. You must liberate them as soon as possible.



Desert Strike (June 11, 2039): The NPAA is reportedly preparing air strikes against cities and other civillian targets. The ISD ordered you to assault the enemy airbase and destroy their airplanes.



Desert Viper (September 22, 2035): The NPAA captured a moored aircraft carrier. The ISD sent you to scuttle the ship before it leaves for the open sea.



All these missions will offer standard rewards and will be available as a part of the daily PvE rotation.

We hope that you’ll enjoy them and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Last week, we’ve unveiled the Croatian camouflage that will be a part of the upcoming Merc on Vacation event and today, we’d like to tell you about another prize of it – the Spanish camouflage.



The Kingdom of Spain is, of course, far more than a popular holiday destination. It has been a powerful player on the world stage for centuries, also thanks to the power of its armies. The 20th century had been a turbulent one for the country occupying much of the Iberian Peninsula with a major civil war leading to many decades of dictatorship and democracy returning to Spain only in the late 1970s.



Spain was neutral during the Second World War, although a Spanish volunteer force called the Blue Division fought alongside Germany in Russia. As the tides of war turned, the Spanish support for the Nazis gradually diminished, leaving Spain to focus on its colonies. After the war, Spain would gradually lose the hold over its colonies and normalize the relationship with the rest of Europe and the United States of America, becoming even marginally involved in the Vietnam War. In 1982, Spain entered the NATO and would subsequently participate in several wars and peacekeeping operations, including the Iraq and Afghanistan operations.



The state of the Spanish armored forces reflected this history. During the war, Spain was armed primarily with German equipment, switching to American vehicles after the conflict and receiving almost 400 M47 Patton tanks in the 1950s and a number of M48 tanks in the 1960s. But American equipment often comes with a lot of strings attached and the Spanish learned this the hard way when the Americans forbade them to use their vehicles during the 1950s colonial wars. This led to a procurement wave of the French AMX-30 tanks and, eventually, the Leopard MBTs, which form the backbone of the Spanish armor to this day.



The camouflage we are presenting today is based on a pattern seen on a Leopard 2A4 MBT belonging to Cavalry Regiment "Montesa" No.3 in 2020. This regiment has a long and glorious history that goes back all the way to 1706 and the War of Spanish Succession. Under different names, the unit participated in dozens of wars. Its recent history, however, started in 1965, when the unit was moved to the city of Ceuta, an autonomous Spanish enclave in North Africa, where it is located to this day.



The camouflage is a standard 1986 NATO pattern, but with an interesting twist. It seems that African dust accumulated around the edges of the pattern, creating distinctive sand-colored lines. Perhaps the soldier themselves helped to achieve this effect by coating the camouflage edges with something. Alternatively, the camouflage was applied on a sand-painted vehicle and eventually wore off. Regardless of the reason, the result is spectacular and fairly unique.



Additionally, we’re adding a special historical unit crest as a decal. This crest was seen on many Spanish tank photographs, including those of the Leopard 2E MBT. The crest belonged to the 1st Armored Division (División Acorazada No.1, hence the D. A.), an old Spanish elite armored unit with long history. The unit itself was deactivated in 2006, but its former battalions still exist under different divisions. In combination with a standard NATO pattern or a simple green base paint, you can make your Leopard 2s look like proper Spanish machines.



We hope that you will enjoy these additions to Armored Warfare and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
