Weekend Offer: Armata 152

Commanders!

We have prepared one more offer for this weekend – the opportunity to obtain the Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank.

The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate!

The Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.



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

See you on the battlefield!

Celebrating Halloween

Commanders!

Normally, we celebrate Halloween with some truly scary stuff. You know what we mean; lootboxes, creative mission conditions, maybe even a garage that makes a loud noise every now and then. This year, however... well, let’s face it, it’s been scary enough. Let us therefore celebrate this year’s end of October with a generally non-terrifying gift.



Between October 31 and November 3, 2020 (15:00 CET), apart from a 30% Commander XP income bonus, a free bundle will be available on MY.GAMES Market, containing:
  • Special Halloween camouflage called Walpurgis Night
  • Vampire player avatar
  • 3 Halloween decals

We hope that you will enjoy this Halloween even with what’s going on in the world and wish you safe and pleasant holidays.

 

PS: We were just kidding; the screaming garage is still on the menu, boys!

See you on the battlefield!

Special Operations Weekend Contest

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared a special event for you. Normally, we only run one Special Operation as a part of the weekend War Games mode. This week, however, we have enabled all the older Special Operations tied into one chain, including American Dream. As usual, they will be available in their original order one by one (you need to pass the previous mission to get to the next one, same goes for the entire operations). Since there are considerably more missions than usual, we'll be issuing double the amount of reward Loot Crates this weekend (they will be available once per 10 missions).



For this event, we’d also like to invite you to a special contest. The rules are simple – by playing solo (platoons are not allowed) either a Tier 6 or a Tier 9-10 vehicle, deal as much damage as you can in every single available mission from the first mission of Caribbean Crisis to the last mission of American Dream (which needs to be won as well for your results to count).

Take a screenshot of each played mission’s results (General and Detailed tab please), add them to an archive (or Imgur album, for example) and link it to the Contest channel on our official Discord along with the following information:
  • Result (the sum of all damage dealt by you from all played missions)/Tier/In-game nickname

There will be two results categories – one for Tier 6 and one for Tier 9-10. The three best results from each of these two categories will receive the following prizes:
  • First place: CATTB Tier 10 Premium MBT (or its price in Gold if you have it already)
  • Second place: ZTQ-15 Tier 9 Premium LT (or its price in Gold if you have it already)
  • Third place: XM247 Tier 5 Premium AFV (or its price in Gold if you have it already)

You have until Tuesday, November 3 2020, 20:00 CET to submit your results.

Please note:
  • One player can win in both categories
  • Platoons are not allowed
Good luck and see you on the battlefield!

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!

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:

Offer: North-American Firepower

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • Warhammer skin for the M1A2 Tier 8 Main Battle Tank
  • MERDC camouflages
  • Stryker ADATS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Griffin 120mm Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
  • M1134 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
Between October 29 and November 5, 2020, the following items will be available:


[h2]Warhammer Skin for M1A2[/h2]


This skin for the M1A2 Tier 8 progression Main Battle Tank is based on the real American Abrams tanks, which were seen and photographed during the Iraq War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
  • Iraq War ochre base paint (used by the U.S. Army)
  • U.S. Cavalry decal
  • U.S. Company decal
  • Thunderbolt decal (this historical decal appeared on a real early Abrams in honor of General Creighton Abrams’ personal Sherman tank during the Second World War)

Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the M1A2 MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game.





[h2]MERDC Camouflages[/h2]


The MERDC camouflages are based on the patterns from the 1970s, when the U.S. Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command (MERDC) developed a system for camouflaging armored vehicles. You can read more about these patterns in our dedicated article.



There are seven patterns available:
  • Grey Desert
  • Red Desert
  • Snow Temperate, Open Terrain
  • Snow Temperate, Trees
  • Europe Summer
  • Europe Winter
  • Tropics


All seven are available in a discounted bundle. Each of these camouflages can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available. These camouflages can be used in all three environments.






[h2]Stryker ADATS[/h2]


ADATS stands for “Air Defense Anti-Tank System,” describing its purpose very well. The system is intended to engage both air and ground armored targets. It was developed in the 1980s by a Swiss company called Oerlikon-Contraves and was offered as an interesting hybrid that would be able to deal with both Soviet tanks and helicopters or attack planes. Unfortunately for it, it came too late – only Canada would actually accept it in service and the end of the Cold War meant the end to all attempts at its large-scale introduction. The ADATS missiles were quite large but, more importantly, extremely fast and were certain to be extremely destructive to any Soviet armored targets, even though this thankfully never had to be tested in real combat. The ADATS turret was offered for a wide variety of platforms and was actively installed on a vehicle that is kind of like a cousin to the Stryker, the Canadian LAV-III. In this configuration, the vehicle was called MMEV.



In Armored Warfare, Stryker ADATS is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is a wheeled vehicle armed with two weapon systems – powerful long-range guided missiles and short-range unguided rockets, offering it some survivability in short range combat as well as the ability to deal tremendous damage if left to its devices.






[h2]Griffin 120mm[/h2]


The Armored Warfare version of the Griffin Light Tank is based on an early 2016 tech demonstrator, intended to show the U.S. military during the AUSA 2016 conference that General Dynamics meant business. It was built as a private venture; effectively a scaled-up example of General Dynamics was capable of providing when it came to highly mobile vehicles with a lot of firepower for the U.S. airborne forces. The U.S. Army was impressed and the design has since evolved into what is generally referred to as the MPF Light Tank. You can read more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Griffin 120mm is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank and a powerful, fast machine, armed not only with its 120mm cannon, but also with special ammunition types, making it deadly at any distance. Few Tier 9 vehicles can match its sheer ferocity on the battlefield.






[h2]M1134[/h2]


The M1134 is an advanced missile Tank Destroyer based on the Stryker chassis, used in the U.S. Army Stryker Brigade Combat Teams to enhance the unit’s firepower against enemy armor. While only lightly protected, its main strength light in the advanced model of the BGM-71 TOW missile launcher, allowing it to knock out practically every armored target it encounters on the battlefield.



In Armored Warfare, the M1134 is a Tier 8 Tank Destroyer. Its main and only weapon is the dual-shot missile launcher. As such, the vehicle is mostly defenseless at close ranges, but can take out any enemy it encounters at long distances thanks to its powerful guided missiles. Mastering it requires patient gameplay and clever use of cover, making it more suitable for experienced players.





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

See you on the battlefield!
