Artillery in Global Operations

We are rebalancing the Self-Propelled Gun class in order to prepare it for a week-long test of its re-introduction to the Global Operations mode. The rebalance includes the return of Smoke shells, brand-new White Phosphorus shells and other adjustments to SPG characteristics that you can read more about in our dedicated article. The test itself will be announced separately, stay tuned for more details.

• Added a new, overhauled player punishment system to all modes of the game (please note that this system can be adjusted over the coming weeks)

• Respawning in Global Operations or PvE now resets your Consumable cooldowns
• ASCOD LT-105: This vehicle no longer shows the Level 5 Crew trait amongst its traits

• Leclerc T40, RST-V Shadow: Changed the flight trajectory of the Javelin missile to match that of the Raybolt ATGM used by K21
• Leclerc T40, RST-V Shadow: Fixed an issue where the Javelin missiles would sometimes get diverted too much by enemy soft-kill APS interference (also known as the “where the hell did my Javelin go” bug)
• Special Operations: Fixed an issue where players could obtain the final Special Operations reward could be received several times if you entered the final mission of the series multiple times with multiple vehicles before the first vehicle completed it successfully

Commanders!

During the Spirithaven announcement, we announced that there would be a special event taking place during the season. Today, we’d like to tell you more about it – we call it Raid.



The Raid event will last one month. To join the event, you’ll have to complete the fourth Spirithaven Special Operation on the Extreme difficulty or, failing that, it will also be possible to buy your way into it with 499 Gold.



Once you have the access to the event, as raiders, you’ll have a certain territory to conquer, starting from the middle. The territory is of rectangular shape and, in each corner, one of four main prizes awaits – a Samurai skin for the following vehicles: SPHINX, T-15 Armata, Al Hussein and Challenger 2.









To get to them, you have to advance a path to each corner. To advance, you have to complete various randomized missions. You will have a choice between:

• PvP missions
• PvE missions
• General missions (that require you to complete other Raid missions)

The requirements for each mission will be randomized as well – some may require you to play a certain vehicle class, specific Tiers or even vehicles from a specific dealer.



There are no timers in this event. You can complete as many missions as you like each day, although it’s worth noting that the missions do not change – to advance along the route you’ve chosen, you have to either complete the mission or choose a different path.

Alternatively, you have two other options that are available for Gold:

• You can automatically complete a mission using one Raider Ticket
• You can change the mission to a different one using one Reroll Ticket

These tickets also appear as rewards as you progress through the mission, so you might save one or two for a rainy day.

For each mission completed, the next step along the route will be a Reward Point, where you claim your reward for the mission. There will be many prizes available, including Boost tokens, Insignia, Premium Time, even Battle Coins for the Battle Path that is coming in the future.



These Reward Points are also a part of your path, so you need to choose their position carefully. Either way, you can unlock every single field on the map as long as you complete the missions.

Obtaining all four Samurai skins will unlock the ultimate reward – a Japanese-themed Torii camouflage for all vehicles (its appearance depends on your base paint).







We hope that you will enjoy this event along with the prizes and, as always:

We’ll see you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today, we’ve prepared another very special offer for you, consisting of an interesting combination of two things – Commander Ophelia Kitescu and the MT-LB S8 Tier 6 Premium AFV.



Ophelia Kitescu is, of course, a vehicle Commander that hails from Romania. She was previously available during the Age of Rage Battle Path. She is an anarchist at heart and loves a good fight against corporations. In Armored Warfare, she is one of the most useful commanders out there. She is famous in particular for her main skill that prevents your vehicle from being destroyed when its hitpoints reach zero (under certain circumstances). The vehicle simply stays alive with one hitpoint left and, additionally, a shield forms around it, protecting it for a couple of seconds from being destroyed again. You can read more about her in our dedicated article.

The MT-LB S8, on the other hand, is a Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. 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. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.

What makes both these items a perfect match? It’s the ability to engage in very high-risk aggressive gameplay while having Ophelia’s life-saving skill to fall back on. Ophelia can offer the MT-LB those precious few extra seconds to devastate pretty much any enemy on the battlefield and with the burst damage capability of the MT-LB S8, few enemies will be able to stand in your way and survive the experience.

Both of them are available in our Domination Bundle only until April 1:



Don’t miss the opportunity to get your hands on one of the most desirable commanders in the game! e hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
