Commanders!

As you already know, the Apocalypse season is about to begin in the near future and one of the first parts of it introduced will be a new Special Operations mission called Plague, the first in the chain of several about to be introduced in 2020 and 2021.



The mission will take place after the supervolcano explosion that happened during the events of the Spirithaven campaign and continues the story of a world broken by conflict and an environmental disaster of an unprecedented scale. In the months and years that followed, the survivors salvaged what they could and sought shelter to survive in the harsh, post-apocalyptic world.



Amongst the survivors were Ivo Rinaldi, the former leader of PLM, and Igor Kopylov, an ex-major of the Russian military. Together, they started a colony out of an Enigma vault they captured right after the cataclysm. It is now 2047. Their settlement is thriving but is far from safe. Raiders and looters roam the land, fighting over last scraps of food, fuel and ammunition. Commandeering an abandoned Enigma warship, both men set out on a mission to capture vital resources in the Georgian city of Gori, recently devastated by an earthquake...



The “Plague” Special Operation mission will take place in the city of Gori, which you are already familiar with from some other PvP and PvE maps. Don’t get too comfortable though – the earthquake has changed much of its layout. Wide chunks of it were swallowed by massive cracks in the earth and places you might have known from the other maps no longer exist or allow safe passage.



We overhauled the Gori map significantly to offer a lot of blood-pumping short-range city combat against unrelenting enemies. There are, of course, new achievements coming as well – some of them will be fairly difficult and unorthodox, but we’re confident you’ll love them!



We will of course continue to develop more PvE content for the future. The sequel to this operation is already in the works and coming in a few short months. For now, we hope that you will enjoy this one mission and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:

• ZTQ-15 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank
• K1A1 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank along with Korean camouflage
• Type 90 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank along with Japanese camouflage
• K21 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Spirithaven Treasure Trove with 10.000 Golds

Between November 12 and November 19, 2020, 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.






[h2]K1A1[/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 also available in the South Korean bundle, which contains:

• K1A1 Tier 7 Premium MBT
• Korean camouflage
• Korean "Squad Leader" decal

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






[h2]Type 90[/h2]


The Type 90 is the current service main battle tank of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. On the outside, it vaguely resembled the German Leopard 2, but inside, the vehicle’s completely different. It was adequately armed and armored for the time it was developed in, but what made it really stand out were its cutting-edge Japanese electronics and its hydraulic suspension, allowing the tank to tilt itself forward or backward, enhancing its gun elevation and depression beyond what the turret would normally allow. This trait was considered to be an important for Japan, as much of its landmass is covered by mountainous areas. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Type 90 is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it resembles the Leopard 2 and Abrams version of the same Tier. The difference between the Leopard and the Type 90 MBT lie in the presence of an automatic loading mechanism – otherwise, the firepower and protection levels is roughly the same with the Japanese tank having a little less armor, compensated by more module hitpoints. Overall, it is not the best-protected MBT on the battlefield, requiring careful long-range gameplay. However, the advanced electronics installed in this tank as well as its hydraulic suspension allow it to aim faster than all its class and Tier counterparts.

The Type 90 is also available in the Japanese bundle, which contains:

• Type 90 Tier 7 Premium MBT
• Japanese camouflage
• Two Japanese decals
• Japanese red flag

You can learn more about the Japanese camouflage in our dedicated article. This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop Type 90 parts. Collect 100 Type 90 parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.






[h2]K21[/h2]


The K21 is a modern Infantry Fighting Vehicle, designed to replace the K200 series in the Korean Army. It features good protection and a hi-tech weapon system with the "hunter-killer" capability. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the K21 is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. In the game, it is an IFV with solid protection and firepower, but also excellent mobility. It carries Mechanized Infantry.






[h2]Spirithaven 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!

Commanders,

In addition to the Polish Independence Day events, we’ve thought it prudent to mention another important holiday – the Veterans Day, celebrating the sacrifices of war veterans world-wide.



This year, we’ve prepared a flag for you that some of you have been asking about for a long time – the Gadsden Flag.

The Gadsden Flag, also known as the “Don’t tread on me” flag or a “Rattlesnake” flag, was created during the American Revolution by General Christopher Gadsden. In fact, it’s one of the oldest American flags in existence, predating even Old Glory.



The flag is now available on MY.GAMES Market in a free bundle. Please note, however, that in order to use it, you must have the option to use flags activated.

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

On November 11, Poland celebrates its 102nd anniversary of as an independent nation and, like every year, we’re celebrating its Independence Day with it!



In addition to the already active Crew Experience bonus, an extra 25% bonus to Credit income will be available until November 12.

This year, we’ve also prepared a very special gift for you, available until November 13, 2020 (15:00 CET).

The gift contains:

• T-72M LWP skin for the T-72 Ural Tier 5 MBT
• “Polish Soldier” player avatar
• 3 Polish decals, modeled after various famous Polish armored units
• Polish modern camouflage
• Brown base color (please note that this color currently has an incorrect shade of brown and will be fixed in the future)

The T-72M LWP skin turns your T-72 Ural into an export version operated by the pre-1989 Polish military, giving off a distinctive Warsaw Pact vibe. You can read more about it in our dedicated article. The same base color used on this vehicle is also available separately as a part of the gift.



The camouflage, however, is based on a modern pattern, as recently applied to the overhauled T-72M1 Main Battle Tanks for the Polish military. The decision to somewhat modernize the Polish T-72M1 MBTs was taken in 2018, following a long and arduous debate. The modernization is generally very narrow – apart from a new coat of paint, these tanks are receiving new night optics and some improved communication equipment. The first of these were transferred back to the Polish army in August 2020.



And last but not least, the decals include the following unit crests:

• 10 Brygada Kawalerii Pancernej
• 11 Lubuska Dywizja Kawalerii Pancernej im. Króla Jana III Sobieskiego
• 1 Warszawska Brygada Pancerna im. Tadeusza Kościuszki

As well as a Polish soldier avatar. The gift is, as usual, available on MY.GAMES Market:



Please note that this Friday, a special Polish-themed contest is launching with epic prizes. Don't miss out on that!

We hope that you will enjoy the event an, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
