Celebrating Polish Armed Forces Day

Commanders!

On August 15, 2020, the entire Poland celebrates the Armed Forces Day, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, where the Polish military defeated the Red Army invading forces. During the Polish-Soviet War, the communists ultimately wanted to capture the entirety of Poland but were instead soundly defeated by the forces of Marshal Józef Piłsudski in what is commonly referred to as the Miracle of the Vistula. The celebration of this great victory and the Polish Armed Forces was renewed in 1992 and is accompanied by military parades since 2007.

To celebrate this grand anniversary, between August 13 and August 20, 2020, we'd like to offer you a 50% bonus to Crew XP income from all battles as well as a special gift, available on MY.GAMES Market, containing:

3-day temporary version of the Polish WWO Wilk Tank Destroyer
Polish Flag decal
Józef Piłsudski decal
3 Commander XP boost tokens

And to make the gift even more fun, we’ve prepared a contest for you! Use the WWO Wilk Tank Destroyer to deal as much damage at 300 meters or more as you can in one battle, take a screenshot of the result (available in your detailed result tab) and post it to our dedicated Discord contest channel along with your ingame name and the mode you played in.

There will be three categories:

PvP (Random Battles)
Global Operations
PvE (excl. Special Operations)

The best result in each category will receive 2.000 Gold and 5.000 Battle Coins. The submissions must be from the period between August 13 and August 17, 2020, so you have a weekend to compete.

We hope that you will enjoy this event and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Community Highlight: Two-Man Heroic

Commanders!

The PvE difficulty called Heroic, available only to Battalion players, is the ultimate PvE difficulty level of Armored Warfare. Normally, it requires a full, organized five-man platoon to complete one such mission, but there are extraordinary players for whom this just still seems too easy. This weekend, players dark_demigod and danlambo successfully passed the Meeting in Batumi mission by themselves. That's right, a mission intended for five organized players was done by just the two of them. In the video below, you can see how they did it:

Here's the results screen:

We are happy to have such devoted and skilled players in Armored Warfare and are looking forward to more such feats. Don't hesitate to share yours on our official Discord and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

In Development: Quality of Life Improvements

Commanders!

Update 0.33 won’t only contain big changes that will change the feel of the entire game, such as the previously announced Tier 7-10 rebalance. There will also be smaller (but equally important) quality of life features, some of which we want to tell you about today.

Battle-Hardened improvements – As you know, the Battle-Hardened status is a semi-premium state where, in exchange for Gold, your fully unlocked progression vehicle starts earning more Credits and XP. In Update 0.33, we’ll be giving it one more interesting function to increase its value. Battle-hardened vehicles will have preferential Matchmaking – that is, they will not encounter vehicles two Tiers higher in any of their battles. This will allow for more comfortable gameplay with this feature unlocked.

Camo and Skin Appearance – There is significant group of players, who prefer their vehicles “as they are” and do not feel the need to purchase camouflages or skins, but have purchased it anyway for the camouflage bonus. In Update 0.33, such players will have the option to disable their own camouflage for their client in the game’s Settings tab. To you, your tank will appear without a skin or camouflage. To the other players, it will appear as if it has a skin or camouflage unlocked. Please note, however, that old vehicles with fixed camouflage (commonly referred to as “reskins”) will not be affected by this setting.

Avatar and Title Improvements – Player avatars and titles will become more prominent, appearing for example in your Friend list or, more importantly, on loading screens. This will become noticeable especially in PvE where you’ll be able to show your vintage event avatar to everyone who’s getting in battle with you.

No more Fuel Fires – This is a minor mechanics change but still a useful one. In Update 0.33, vehicles will not suffer from fires caused by their fuel tanks. All fuel tank modules will effectively become indestructible. It will still be possible to set the engines on fire, but the fuel will be protected.

We’re also preparing some armor and ammunition tooltip improvements and other smaller changes which we hope you’ll enjoy, but that’s a story for another time. Right now, it’s back to the big stuff in our next Developer Diary article. So, until then:

See you on the battlefield!

Camouflage Loot Crate now available

Commanders!

Today, we’d like to introduce you a brand-new Loot Crate type, available on MY.GAMES Market – the Camouflage Loot Crate.

As its name suggests, this new Loot Crate, available until August 13, 2020 (along with the other weekly offer), contains various camouflages.

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!
