• [p]KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]On the Hunt Battle Coins[/p]

[p]Between January 29, 2026 and February 5, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]KF51 Panther[/h2][p][/p][p]The KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank first appeared in 2022 as a demonstrator of Rheinmetall’s capabilities, mating a modified Leopard 2 hull with a brand-new turret armed not only with cutting edge weaponry, but also a missile launcher. The Panther is one of western next-gen MBT projects, much like the EMBT and the next-generation Abrams. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the KF51 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. The KF51 Panther is at its core a medium-range vehicle with reliable armor and solid firepower that, in addition to its 130mm gun and NERA armor, boasts a powerful missile launcher. This combination makes it one of the most powerful MBTs you can encounter in the game.[/p][p]The KF51 Panther Tier 10 Premium 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]Challenger 2 Streetfighter II[/h2][p][/p][p]The Streetfighter II is an upgrade program to overhaul the venerable Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank for the conditions of modern battlefields, especially urban combat. It features a number of improvements and extra components, most notably a dozer blade, a Brimstone ATGM twin launcher and an advanced camera system by Elbit. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 2 Streetfighter is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Its main advantages include excellent frontal armor (enhanced by the presence of its dozer blade covering its lower frontal plate), increased ramming damage and long range lethality, courtesy of a powerful ATGM launcher. Whether you desire to bring the fighting up close or support other MBTs at distance, the Streetfighter’s got your back.[/p][p]The Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium 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]Armata 152[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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![/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]On the Hunt 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 Pantsir-S1 Tier 10 Premium TD![/p][p][/p][p]The following Battle Coin bundles are available:[/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]With the new Legendary Vehicles feature have now released, we thought we’d give you the opportunity to not only participate on future vehicle decision-making, but also leave your mark on Armored Warfare forever by helping us design a Legendary Vehicle that will become available this year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The big change compared to similar such events is this:[/p][p]It doesn’t have to be a real-life vehicle. You can design your own tank.[/p][p]In other words, you can make it the way you want it (within reason, see more details below) and if others like it enough, it’ll win and your creation will be immortalized in Armored Warfare under your name.You are, of course, free to also suggest an existing vehicle and support your suggestion with photographs. That is just as valid.[/p][p][/p][h2]How to Participate[/h2][p][/p][p]The participation is quite simple (as long as you follow the rules). Create a vehicle design and submit it via our dedicated form until February 15, 2026.[/p][p]The suitable candidates will then be presented to you in a manner of a poll. Your votes will decide the winner and the player who submits the winning proposal will be the first to receive this vehicle as soon as it is introduced to the game.[/p][p]There are, however, two eligibility conditions:[/p]

• [p]In order to submit a proposal, you have to have obtained at least 1000 Legendary Vehicle blueprints by the closure of the of the form (by February 15, 2026)[/p]
• [p]In order to vote, you have to have obtained at least 1500 Legendary Vehicle blueprints at the moment of the end of the voting phase (roughly by end of February, 2026)[/p]

[p]Furthermore, the amount of options that’ll go into the voting phase will be limited to around twenty vehicles (or more or less, depending on the quality submissions we will receive). Read below for more details.[/p][p][/p][h2]What to Submit[/h2][p][/p][p]Please make sure to carefully read this event’s rules regarding what submissions are acceptable and how to properly make a submission.[/p][p]We are looking for a future Legendary Vehicle, which is a very broad category. There aren’t that many restrictions that apply here.[/p]

• [p]It has to be a ground combat vehicle (no helicopters, hovercraft or flying saucers)[/p]
• [p]It has to be at least somewhat appropriate (no, we won’t be adding Maus as a Legendary Vehicle)[/p]
• [p]New weapon types are okay within reason (we can imagine a laser-armed vehicle, but atomic shells are obviously not going to happen)[/p]
• [p]It can be older, however (under certain circumstances we can imagine adding a Legendary T-55 for example, depending on its gameplay mechanics, but that’s for you to consider)[/p]
• [p]The usual contest rules apply (the vehicle can’t be someone else’s copyrighted work)[/p]

[p]There’s also another important point.[/p][p]We want to see effort in any submissions you make, commanders. The more elaborate your proposal, the higher the chance it’ll appear in the voting and the higher the chance it gets implemented (while we guarantee the winner of the contest to make it into the game, nobody prevents us from implementing more than one proposal from the list (in which case, whoever’s proposal we select will be rewarded the same way as the winner of the contest).[/p][p]And, on the contrary, a single AI generated image paired with two sentences is almost guaranteed to not appear in the voting. We aren’t huge fans of AI submissions and while we won’t disqualify such submissions outright (after all, AI can be used as a tool just like any other), it’s not something we widely encourage.[/p][p]For real-life vehicles, we expect at least a couple of photographs, drawings or other references to consider it.[/p][p]Every player may make as many submissions as he or she likes, as long as they are posted until February 15, 2026. Each submission must consist of the following elements:[/p]

• [p]Name of the vehicle (for example “BMPT Mod.2025”)[/p]
• [p]Proposed Class (feel free to even create a new one)[/p]
• [p]Short description (approximately 100-150 words) of the vehicle[/p]
• [p]Role in Armored Warfare (describe what you’d like the vehicle to do in the game and why)[/p]
• [p]Link to a single archive file containing all materials you wish to submit (text files, renders, photographs, scans... whatever you can think of)[/p]

[p]Please note:[/p]

• [p]Should the same vehicle be submitted by two different players, the prize will go to the player who submitted it first[/p]
• [p]Make extra sure the file is accessible via the link (for example to Google Drive), we will not be asking for access with our accounts – if the file cannot be accessed, the entry is disqualified automatically[/p]
• [p]For creations that are yours, you are (by submitting them) implicitly agreeing to have them introduced to Armored Warfare[/p]

[p]We cannot emphasize this enough, but the effort truly is important. The more elaborate your submissions are, the higher the chance to implement it. Examples of what can be included in the archive file include:[/p]

• [p]Texts describing the history or importance of the vehicle, or the process of its creation[/p]
• [p]Proposals for game mechanics (this part is[/p]
• [p]Photographs[/p]
• [p]Drawings[/p]
• [p]Renders or any other kind of images[/p]
• [p]3D models or screenshots thereof[/p]
• [p]Literature references for existing vehicles[/p]

[p]Sky’s the limit. Amaze us, commanders.[/p][p][/p][h2]Rewards[/h2][p][/p][p]And last but not least, there’s the matter of rewards[/p]

• [p]The winner of the contest will receive 20.000 Legendary Blueprints (yes, enough for two vehicles), 20.000 Gold and 100.000 Battle Coins,[/p]
• [p]Second place will receive 10.000 Legendary Blueprints, 10.000 Gold and 75.000 Battle Coins[/p]
• [p]Third place will receive 10.000 Legendary Blueprints, 5.000 Gold and 50.000 Battle Coins[/p]
• [p]All participants who make it to the voting phase will receive 1.000 Legendary Blueprints and 25.000 Battle Coins[/p]

[p]We are looking forward to your choices and will see you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]

• [p]BMT-72-140 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Namer Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]

[p]Between January 27 and February 3, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]BMT-72-140[/h2][p][/p][p]The BMT-72-140 is a prototype of a Ukrainian Main Battle Tank that is also capable of carrying infantry into battle, combining the advantages of both concepts. It consists of a heavily modified and lengthened T-72A hull and a T-72 turret fitted with an automatic loading mechanism and a 140mm gun called Bagheera. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BMT-72-140 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It offers great performance in all things that matter as it has thick armor, active protection systems, good mobility and excellent firepower. It can also deploy all standard types of infantry to improve either its destructive abilities or to spot enemies earlier than other vehicles of its class.[/p][p]The BMT-72-140 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]Namer[/h2][p][/p][p]The Namer IFV is an Israeli heavy fighting vehicle version of the Namer platform developed in the early 2000s from the Merkava Main Battle Tank. Israel is a small country and cannot affect high infantry losses, which is why the Namer features extremely high levels of protection. The IFV variant is fitted with a Rafael turret, featuring 30mm autocannon and a Spike missile launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Namer is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As its history suggests, it is a superheavy TD with its protection levels being amongst the highest of its class. It is slow and ponderous but its thick front can deflect even advanced shells while maintaining adequate firepower thanks to its autocannon and ATGM combination. Its MBT-like characteristics make this vehicle quite forgiving for new players, but, as they say, a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.[/p][p]The Namer Tier 10 Premium TD 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]

[p]On the 27th of January 2026, starting from 7:00 CET, the server will not be available for 2 hours due to a planned server maintenance.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.
[/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]

• [p]CATTB Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
• [p]Stryker ADATS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
• [p]M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
• [p]Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]On the Hunt Loot Crate[/p]

[p]Between January 22 and January 29, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]CATTB[/h2][p][/p][p]The CATTB Main Battle Tank was an experimental platform, developed as one of the early steps in the creation of a next generation Abrams Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Block III Abrams, or M1A3. It was created in the 1980s as a response to the perceived threat of future Soviet super tanks and featured some truly advanced components, such as the XM291 dual caliber cannon that could switch between 120mm and 140mm calibers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the development of this tank became unnecessary and the program was canceled in the 1990s. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the CATTB is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most powerful and versatile MBTs around, devastating its opponents with its signature double-tap feature, allowing it to fire its cannon twice in short order. This allows it to drive around a corner, deal very high amounts of damage and then retreat back into cover, leaving the enemy reeling from the massive blow.[/p][p]This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop CATTB parts. Collect 100 CATTB parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Altay[/h2][p][/p][p]The Altay is the result of a Turkish program to build a true indigenous MBT. After a decade of development with hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Turkey finally achieved its goal and built a tank that is roughly on par in performance with decades-old Leopard 2 variants while it still uses many foreign components, including some of its most critical systems. Nevertheless, future Altay variants are expected to feature some cutting edge components.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In Armored Warfare, the Altay is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank based on the current prototypes, but also upgraded by various hypothetical aftermarket components of the future to surpass its current capabilities and to match its assigned Tier in power. The basic tank is – gameplay-wise – a mobile sniper, much like the Leopard 2 series, relying on its mobility and the penetration of its shells rather than on its armor. There are two key features to this tank: Adjustable Suspension (tilting forward and to the side) and Hybrid Engine with its distinctive electric sound, giving the vehicle excellent mobility and agility.[/p][p]The Altay Tier 10 Premium 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]Bradley AAWS-H[/h2][p][/p][p]The Bradley AAWS-H Tank Destroyer was an attempt by Loral Vought to mount four kinetic guided missiles on an extendable arm while using the Bradley IFV chassis as a platform. Kinetic missiles were cutting edge tech back in the 1980s – unlike standard ATGMs, they destroyed the target by their kinetic energy instead of a HEAT warhead, accelerating to several times the speed of sound. There was little to no defense against them, although they did have some drawbacks, which was why they were never adopted in real life. You can read more about the vehicle in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Bradley AAWS-H is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s an ATGM-based TD, carrying special kinetic missiles that actually become more effective with increasing distance to your target. It is the embodiment of a long-range missile carrier and is perfect for players who prefer sniping to close combat.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Stryker ADATS[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]M1A1 Storm[/h2][p][/p][p]In 1985, the Abrams was upgraded with, amongst other things, the 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon. Over 5000 M1A1 tanks were produced until 1992. This tank participated in Operation Desert Storm, which forged its legendary reputation.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the M1A1 Storm is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. The M1A1 Storm look was inspired by Operation Desert Storm, including a gorgeous camouflage net model. But, more importantly, this tank is equipped with a massive frontal dozer blade, adding extra armor and ramming damage to the long list of its advantages.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Sabre[/h2][p][/p][p]The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2][p][/p][p]The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]On the Hunt Loot Crate[/h2][p][/p][p]The On the Hunt Loot Crate is now available. This Loot Crate contains On the Hunt Battle Coins and Boosters.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Battle Coins are the primary currency of the On the Hunt Battle Path campaign and are used to progress through it and to obtain its prizes.[/p]
• [p]Battle Coin Boosters are usable only during an active Battle Path and increase your Battle Coin income by 900 percent for two hours.[/p]

[p]Please note that you have to obtain the access to a Battle Path to use both items.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/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]
