Christmas Damage Contest

Commanders!

The last of the Echoes of War-related contests is now available because the best way to end the year and to celebrate Christmas is with a victory!



In this contest, we’ll be asking you to deal as much damage (certain conditions apply, see below) as possible while driving specific vehicles:
  • BM Oplot Tier 9 Premium MBT (only damage while stationary counts)
  • Leopard Revolution Tier 8 Premium MBT (only damage while stationary counts)
  • MT-LB S8 Tier 6 Premium AFV (only damage while moving counts)

Any standard mode counts for this contest, excluding Heroic Special Operations and Ranked Battles.

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:
  • Vehicle / 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, “MT-LB S8 / 50000 / Johndoe” is correct, while “MTLBS8/50 000/Johndoe” is not due to the incorrectly placed spaces and the shortened vehicle name.

The contest ends on December 30, 2020 (12:00 CET) and all entries must be submitted by then.

The prizes are as follows:

The winner of each vehicle category (3 winners in total) will receive 25.000 Battle Coins for the Echoes of War Battle Path as well as 7 days of Premium Time.

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
  • 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!

Camouflage Loot Crate now available

Commanders!

Today, we’re launching another Camouflage Loot Crate on MY.GAMES Market.

This iteration contains the following ones (click on their names where designated to learn of their real life background):

 
The mechanics are very simple. Each crate allows you to win one of the listed items (or its value in Gold if you have it already, in this case 1.000 Gold per camouflage).



To learn more about what's in a chest simply click on it, this will launch a small pop up window to show you what’s inside. You will find everything from in-game currency packs to consumables and exclusive skins that can only be found in these chests!

Please note:

After opening the crate, you will immediately roll on one of the items that are inside this Loot Crate and will see what you receive before you have to actually pay anything. No more random chances – you immediately see what you get and what you don’t. You can then opt to purchase the item you rolled on for the Loot Crate’s price. Until you do so, you will be unable to buy any other Loot Crate of the same type.

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

See you on the battlefield!

Christmas Offer

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Elite Commanders
  • BM Oplot Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • MT-LB S8 Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Premium Time
  • Battle Coins
Between December 24 and December 31, 2020, the following items will be available:


[h2]Altay[/h2]


The Altay is the result of a Turkish program to build a true indigenous MBT. After a decade of development with hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Turkey finally achieved its goal and built a tank that is roughly on par in performance with decades-old Leopard 2 variants while it still uses many foreign components, including some of its most critical systems. Nevertheless, future Altay variants are expected to feature some cutting edge components.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the Altay is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank based on the current prototypes, but also upgraded by various hypothetical aftermarket components of the future to surpass its current capabilities and to match its assigned Tier in power. The basic tank is – gameplay-wise – a mobile sniper, much like the Leopard 2 series, relying on its mobility and the penetration of its shells rather than on its armor. There are two key features to this tank: Adjustable Suspension (tilting forward and to the side) and Hybrid Engine with its distinctive electric sound, giving the vehicle excellent mobility and agility.

The Altay 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 Altay Total Destruction bundle contains the following items:
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium MBT
  • Commander Ophelia Kitescu
  • 30 days of Premium Time
  • 9.000 Gold






[h2]Elite Commanders[/h2]


Some of the most popular and requested commanders are making a comeback in bundles together with Insignia and Boost tokens chosen specifically to allow for their faster training.



The commanders available are:
  • Alexander Cortez
  • Alisa Korhonen
  • Erin O’Connell
  • Austin Harper
  • Ophelia Kitescu

Please note that these bundles come with special Platinum Armored Warfare boost tokens, the best progress boosters available in the game. You can read more about them in our dedicated article.

As for the commanders themselves, this guide will provide you with useful tips on how to configure their skills.


[h2]BM Oplot[/h2]


The Oplot is a heavily upgraded T-84 Ukrainian Main Battle Tank, which is based on an older design called T-80UD. It is currently the best tank the Ukrainian military industry can offer. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the BM Oplot is a Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank with a playstyle similar to the T-80U. Power-wise, it’s roughly on par with the T-90MS of the same Tier, but it has a very unique ability. Its advanced Duplet armor consists of several ERA layers, making it able to negate more than one HEAT shell impact. It takes several precise hits aimed at the same location to break through it, making it a very resistant vehicle on the battlefield.






[h2]M-95 Degman[/h2]


The M-95 Degman is an advanced Croatian prototype MBT, developed during the 1990s and 2000s. It is based on the previous Yugoslavian project, the Vihor MBT, which in turn has its roots in the improved T-72M series produced in former Yugoslavia. You can read more about its history in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the tank is relatively fast and fairly agile while carrying some potent firepower for its Tier. In fact, its owners can choose from two powerful guns:
  • 125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun, known from many Russian MBTs
  • 120mm CTG NATO-style smoothbore gun that you know from the Challenger 1 Falcon MBT

It’s worth noting that the 120mm shells have higher penetration values and the gun can also fire Falarick ATGMs while the 125mm gun has higher damage per shot. Both guns will feature good handling as well as overall performance to offset the vehicle’s weakness, which is its mediocre armor. The Degman must rely on its mobility and firepower to survive, making it an ideal vehicle for aggressive, daring players.






[h2]MT-LB S8[/h2]


The MT-LB S8 (also called Strela-10 RSZO) was unveiled only recently as the means for Ukraine to combine two items they did not need by themselves in order to use them effectively during the Civil War. The first one, not quite useful to the Ukrainians by itself, is the Strela-10 self-propelled SAM – its deployment is quite limited due to the fact that the separatist forces do not have any air force. The second item is an aircraft or helicopter rocket pod that is used to fire 80mm S-8 unguided rockets. Together, they form an ad-hoc rocket launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the MT-LB S8 is a unique Tier 6 Armored Fighting Vehicle. What makes it stand out? Its armament, of course. This AFV does not have a lot of armor, nor is it incredibly fast, but it can fire its two full rocket pods (each has 20 rockets) within 30 seconds or less. The rockets have HEAT-MP projectiles and are absolutely deadly against practically any target, but especially against those without composite armor. On the downside, the rockets are unguided and quite inaccurate. This vehicle is not for the faint of heart!






[h2]Premium Time[/h2]


Premium Time boosts your progression speed by allowing you to obtain more Credits and Experience in battles.



The following bundles are available with a discount:

[h2]Battle Coins[/h2]


This week, we are offering you an opportunity to boost your Battle Path progress and get that main prize you know you want – the Object 195 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank!



The following Battle Coin bundles are available:
  • 1.000 Battle Coins (10% off)
