Commanders!

For this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, we have prepared a number of interesting items for you. They include:

• Irish-themed Clover skin for FV721 Fox
• Challenger 1 Fionn Tier 7 Premium MBT
• Irish Green color for all vehicles
• Irish Green camouflage for all vehicles

The following special bundles are available for the next 24 hours only (until March 18, 11:00 CET)!


[h2]Clover skin for FV721 Fox[/h2]


This is a special St. Patrick-themed skin for the FV721 Fox. Please note that in order to apply it, you need to own the progression version of the FV721 Fox. Upon its application, the vehicle’s name will change from Fox to Clover Fox.



In Armored Warfare, the FV721 Fox is a Tier 6 Armored Fighting Vehicle. The FV721 Fox is one of the fastest and nimblest vehicles of Armored Warfare. It can dance around its opponents, unloading round after round of 30mm ammunition into their soft, rear areas, or destroy them from distance using guided missiles. It’s also one of the best spotters in the game, making it extremely valuable to any team it finds itself in.






[h2]Challenger 1 Fionn[/h2]


The Challenger 1 Main Battle Tank has always been a rather unique vehicle amongst the NATO forces. For one, it kept a rifled 120mm cannon when the rest of NATO switched to 120mm smoothbore shells. On the battlefield, however, it has proven to be a tough vehicle, completely outclassing its Soviet era opponents during Operation Desert Storm.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Fionn is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is one of the toughest vehicles of its tier. Its thick armor allows it to shrug off most hits while the 120mm rifled cannon is more than capable of dealing punishment on its own. The Challenger 1 is ideal for players who like to enter the thickest fights head on, advancing relentlessly through hailstorms of shells.






[h2]St. Patrick’s Day Visual Customization[/h2]


Last but not least, we’ve prepared the following customization options, available to all vehicles in the game.



The Irish Green color (St. Patrick’s) color is a dark green Base Color, applicable to all vehicles. Its rich hue comes out especially well with some other types of camouflages that change their colors depending on which base color you use. Please note, however, that this color is only available for the Armored Warfare summer maps.



The beautiful Clover camouflage (featuring, as its name suggests, clover shapes) is , on the other hand, available for every single environment and can be also applied to any vehicle that allows the use of camouflages.





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

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

The ZSU-23-4 Shilka, obtainable a short while ago during the Echoes of War Battle Path campaign, is, without any doubt, an extremely potent vehicle. However, some skilled players such as Azdule are capable of elevating its performance to new heights.

In this battle, Azdule achieved whopping 11 kills, earning him not only four Epic Medals, but also the coveted red Mastery Flag. Find out how he did it in this video:

Commanders!

Once again, we collected your questions and passed them directly to the team.



Here are the responses directly from the developers of Armored Warfare:

The T-72 Ural MBT is for some reason on the same Tier as its real-life successor, the T-72A, despite having inferior characteristics both in real life and in the game. Are you planning to address that?

Yes, in the future – we already overhauled the higher Tiers and are currently planning an overhaul of the lower ones. As for details, we don’t have anything to share yet.

Commander Ophelia Kitescu can deploy a shield when you die and this shield can withstand even a hit from a 152mm shell despite being nominally weaker. Is that intended?

Yes. The shield collapses when its hitpoints run out, or when it expires after a few seconds. If a single shot deals more damage than the shield can withstand, all the excessive damage is canceled and the tank is left alive with one hitpoint. If you want to make sure your shell does not get “eaten” by the shield, please wait a couple of seconds for it to expire.

Will you remove Ophelia Kitescu from the game?

No.

Is there a difference spotting-wise between vehicles with panoramic sights and those that don’t have them?

No. All behave the same.

By how much does RST-V Shadow reduce enemy viewrange with its special ability?

By 10 percent. We’ll add it to its tooltip.

You are introducing more Special Operations maps to the game. When will we get a new standard PvE mission?

The second half of this year.

That’s it for today, commanders. Do you have any questions for the developers? Don’t hesitate to leave them on Discord and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• ZTQ-15 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank (and the Serenity skin for it available separately)
• Type 89 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• QN-506 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Type 96B Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Iron Crate (this time with ZTQ-15)

Between March 11 and March 18, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]ZTQ-15[/h2]


The ZTQ-15 is the current most modern domestic Chinese Light Tank and is reserved for the Chinese military only with its export counterpart, VT-5, offered for export. The ZTQ-15 Light Tank is intended to be used in mountainous regions of China where standard MBTs are all but impossible to operate. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ZTQ-15 is a Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. It combines excellent mobility with plenty of firepower as well as adequate protection for its Tier and vehicle class. It also features several neat elements that increase its value on the battlefield, such as its active suspension and the ability to launch guided missiles from its gun or its advanced ERA. For players who prefer fast-paced, high-risk and high-reward combat style, it’s one of the best options out there.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop ZTQ-15 parts. Collect 100 ZTQ-15 parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle. This vehicle is also available directly at MY.GAMES Market.



Additionally, we are separately offering the Serenity skin for this vehicle in a bundle, which includes:

• Serenity skin for the ZTQ-15 LT
• 14 days of Premium Time
• 3.000 Gold

[h2]Type 89[/h2]


The Type 89 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the current Japanese service IFV. It was built in very small numbers between 1989 and 2004. The low-production meant that, with the development costs sunk into it, each unit was incredibly expensive. In fact, to date, the Type 89 is the most expensive IFV in the world. Otherwise it’s generally unremarkable – last generation steel armor, a 35mm autocannon and massive guided missiles (that were also meant for landing ship destruction instead of just anti-tank combat) are generally being all phased out by now. The Type 89 is, however, still waiting for its replacement. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Type 89 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle that is capable of not only deploying Mechanized Infantry, but also to destroy its targets at long distances using its powerful guided missiles. It is also fast and maneuverable, but does not feature thick armor.






[h2]QN-506[/h2]


The QN-506 fire support vehicle is a Chinese attempt to design a cheap, export-oriented alternative to the Russian BMPT series. Instead of converting a second or third generation MBT, the engineers at Wuhan Guide Infrared Co., Ltd., likely to keep the vehicle as affordable as possible, opted to base their project on the Type 59 MBT, which is, in its basic form anyway, a copy of the old Soviet T-55 medium tank from the late 1950s. They jam-packed it with cutting edge electronics and a number of weapon systems, including ATGMs, an automatic cannon or smaller caliber rockets. However, despite the use of an unmanned turret, the protection levels of this vehicle are still quite low and, so far, there haven’t been any signs of interest in the QN-506. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the QN-506 is a Premium Tier 9 Tank Destroyer that gameplay-wise resembles the popular BMPT series. However, unlike the Russian Terminators, it has a number of interesting features including tree different weapon systems (30mm cannon, 70mm unguided rockets and 151mm ATGMs) and loitering recon ammunition flying towards the end of a map and spotting everything in its path. The last ability is unique to the QN-506 and makes it one of the most potent support vehicles on the battlefield.






[h2]Type 96B[/h2]


The Type 96B MBT, as its name suggests, is an evolution of the Type 96A, featuring such elements as an upgraded fire control system and a much more powerful engine, resulting in considerably better mobility and speed. Unlike the Type 96A, however, the Type 96B is a prototype, designed for the Chinese military team to use during the annual Tank Biathlon event in Russia. In 2017, the Chinese team won the second place, being defeated only by Russia. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the Type 96B is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it’s very agile and fast for its class and uses advanced ammunition, making it highly suitable for players who prefer mobility over armor protection, even though it can take a lot of punishment as well.






[h2]Iron Crate[/h2]


We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. Between March 11 and March 18, 2021, the Iron Crate will be available on MY.GAMES Market with 50% discount!



The mechanics are very simple. This crate allows you to win one of the vehicles listed in its description (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles.

For a full list, please visit the MY.GAMES Market Iron Crate page.





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

See you on the battlefield!
