Offer: XK3 Phantom

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]
  • [p]XK3 Phantom Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]Type 99B Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]Hunter Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]Pindad SBS Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]Type 89 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]K21 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]Rough Riders Battle Coins (special end-of-Battle Path discount)[/p]
[p]Between December 4, 2025 and December 11, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]XK3 Phantom[/h2][p][/p][p]The XK3 is based on a small scale model of the Next Generation Tank, unveiled by Hyundai during the ADEX 2023 expo in Seoul where several concepts of South Korean “next-gen MBT” were presented. You can read more in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the XK3 Phantom is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is light, fast and very well protected against HEAT shells. It also features a unique ability called Ambush Mode.[/p][p]When the ability is activated, the tank redirects its power from the electric generator to camouflage and cooling systems. In game terms, what this means is that its active protection systems (both of them) become deactivated as long as the ability works. On the upside, the camouflage factor jumps to whopping 70%, making the vehicle very hard to detect.[/p][p]When the ability is active, the gun/missiles gain an overheat meter. It doesn’t prevent you from firing but as long as the weapons don’t overheat, you can fire without a penalty to camouflage. This on one hand severely limits your damage output but it keeps the vehicle practically invisible for as long as the ability is active.[/p][p]The XK3 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Type 99B[/h2][p][/p][p]The Type 99B is a fictional improved version of the currently most modern Chinese Main Battle Tank. It was designed as a concept by the Chinese tank community some years ago and we used the concept as a basis for its introduction. However, our version bears significant differences, most notably the Red Arrow missile launcher on the roof. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Type 99B is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is fast, agile, and capable of dealing tremendous damage over a short period of time thanks to its turret-mounted thermobaric missile launcher.[/p][p]The Type 99B MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Hunter AFV[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Pindad SBS[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Type 89[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]K21[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Rough Riders Battle Coins[/h2][p][/p][p]This week, we are offering you an opportunity to boost your Battle Path progress and get that main prize you know you want – the XM1302 Tier 10 Premium LT![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The following Battle Coin bundles are available:[/p]

Developer Diary: Tuning the First Person Missiles

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today, we’d like to show you more of the First Person Missile Control feature we unveiled not so long ago. With the Battle Path coming around Christmas, we are making progress on a yet unannounced feature that’s coming for the holidays as well as the Battle Path itself so there is a lot of work to be done. But, without further ado, let’s take a look at the demonstration of the coming Bulsae-6 Tank Destroyer.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]As you can see, the missiles are considerably slower and more agile than regular missiles. They are also relatively easy to control, although some trick shots do require skill. This was achieved by a combination of two elements:[/p]
  • [p]High agility and low flight speed (obviously)[/p]
  • [p]Reduced missile noise (this played a major part in improving the experience)[/p]
  • [p]Immunity to soft-kill APS[/p]
[p]The final point is an important one because the presence of passive soft-kill APS made the camera shake violently and the missile almost impossible to control. On one hand, this was initially deemed a good balancing factor. On the other hand, it made for a very unpleasant experience in the presence of more than one vehicle with such a system and we therefore decided to get rid of it. However, please note that:[/p]
  • [p]Supercharged soft-kill APS will still divert these missiles[/p]
  • [p]Hard-kill APS will still destroy these missiles[/p]
[p]We hope that you’ll enjoy the gameplay this way. Of course we’ll keep an eye on the missiles’ performance and hope you’ll enjoy playing these missile carriers. The Battle Path is now available for preorder before its launch – don’t miss out on it in case you want to get your access early and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Between December 2, 2025 and December 9, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]Boxer RIWP[/h2][p][/p][p]The Boxer RIWP is a combination of a Tracked Boxer hull and a modular turret called RIWP. Both components are fairly new and haven’t been officially combined as of now but the Boxer platform can theoretically support this weapon system. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Boxer RIWP is a Tier 10 Premium AFV that’s unique for one reason – it offers five fairly distinctive weapon configurations along with a reliable autocannon capable of quickly dealing with lighter targets. It can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.[/p][p]The Boxer RIWP Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Ajax[/h2][p][/p][p]The Ajax is the most modern British Infantry Fighting Vehicle currently in service. Despite being plagued by developmental problems, the program to replace the aging Warrior IFV produced one of the best vehicles in its class. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Ajax is a Tier 10 Premium AFV featuring solid protection levels and excellent sustained firepower. Furthermore, it can deploy Mechanized Infantry like other AFVs of its class and has a special ability that allows it to better detect enemies at closer ranges.[/p][p]The Ajax Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]
