This event is available until September 1, 2024 and its rules are very simple. You can participate simply by destroying 5 enemy vehicles in PvE (or 1 in PvP) every day (while driving a Tier 3 vehicle or higher) in order to receive a reward.

• AbramsX: Returned the missing APFSDS icons
  
• M1A2C: Fixed the War Pig skin
  
• M8-120 Thunderbolt II: Turret-mounted Browning machinegun now uses the correct damage and penetration values as befitting the 12.7mm caliber

Commanders!

At long last, we’d like to tell you more about the second part of the Black Company Special Operation series called Lone Star.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Now, we know it has been a while since the introduction of the previous and are excited to show you the next chapter in the history of Joshua Seagrove and Kathryn Grey.



The mission begins pretty much where Rate of Decay left off – our heroes have reached Port Houston, a city occupied by Clayburn Industries. Andrew Clayburn left for Europe to take care of business in Britain and left Sebastian Grimm in charge of the operations. The plan is simple – hijack a ship to escape the corporation-occupied United States of America and to slip out of Clayburn’s grasp once more.



There, they enlist the help of Alan “Judge” Price, an old-school lawman fighting the corporate overlords alongside a rag-tag band of resistance fighters. But Judge’s help doesn’t come for free. In return, the former Seahawks need to help him liberate a prisoner camp where those unfortunate enough to get captured by Clayburn are left to languish, both as prisoners and as hostages. And their time is running out...



This Special Operation is an urban one and one of our largest to date. Port Houston is a sprawling city with both narrow streets and open areas near the port area. Street fighting at close ranges will be relatively common and, at times, you’ll be fighting your way through narrow corridors, which calls for the heaviest and best-protected vehicles your team can muster.



















As is typical for Special Operations, this mission will take more time to complete than your usual PvE operation and careful coordination of forces will be required. But we do have another set of epic rewards for you, from a Cowboy avatar to a new camouflage called Lone Star.

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

See you on the battlefield!

On the 1st of August 2024, starting from 8:00 CEST, the server will not be available for 4 hours due to a planned server maintenance.



Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Commanders!

The Independence Day Mission is over and we have a list of winners for you: CLICK

The winners will receive their prizes in the near future. Thank you for participating and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• Type 10 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Hunter Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Pindad SBS Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Type 89 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• K21 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Tales from the Dark Battle Coins

Between July 25 and August 1, 2024, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]Type 10[/h2]
 

The Type 10 MBT is the most modern Japanese Main Battle Tank in service and one of the most advanced war machines in the world. Using sophisticated electronics and crystalline steel armor, this tank is more than a match for any enemy that would threaten the islands of Japan. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Type 10 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. What puts it apart from the other MBTs of its Tier is its special NERA armor. This highly-mobile MBT starts every battle well-armored, but the protection levels decrease with every shot taken. Additionally, this MBT features a special system that tells you the exact chance to penetrate your target. Overall, it’s one of the most powerful MBTs of its Tier and certainly a good choice for players, who prefer rapid action to slow advances.

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

 

 

 
[h2]Hunter AFV[/h2]
 

Another alternative name for this vehicle is NGAFV (or Next Gen AFV), since it belongs to a whole program to replace the obsolete M113 APC in Singaporean service and to operate alongside its predecessor, another indigenous Singaporean IFV called Bionix. Hunter is the name of the production model of this program. The Hunter AFV is the pinnacle of bleeding edge of technology. In this sense, it can be compared to the AS21 Redback and both vehicles share several characteristics, not the least of which being relatively large size. This bulky IFV offers considerable levels of protection and firepower. It is expected to serve in the Singaporean army in large numbers in the near future with its mass-production having recently begun. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Hunter AFV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. As its description above suggests, it is a rather standard-sized IFV with good levels of protection and excellent firepower (consisting of a 30mm autocannon and a Spike ATGM launcher). It also features a recently introduced type of armor, NERA. Simply put, NERA is an ablative armor kit that deteriorates whenever it gets hit. In other words, the vehicle starts with excellent protection levels but it will lose some with damage taken as the battle progresses. Apart from that, the vehicle is adequately mobile and quite universal. It can, of course, also deploy Mechanized Infantry.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[h2]Pindad SBS[/h2]
 

The SBS platform is one of the first domestic armored vehicles developed by Pindad (the largest Indonesian armor producer) for Indonesia and is officially listed as a “light tank”. It was developed sometimes in the early 2010s with some prototypes in different configuration appearing in public in 2014 or so. The variant in the game is a long-range MLRS fire support vehicle with a 122mm multi-barreled rocket launcher. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Pindad SBS is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. This AFV is fairly unique, since its main weapon is a multi-barreled rocket launcher capable of firing over obstacles. This makes the Pindad incredibly powerful in both offense and defense. Static enemy targets stand no chance! This vehicle is best used with Commander Ophelia Kitescu and in a platoon – the firepower of such a formation is truly without equal.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
