Armored Warfare News

Commanders!

We are happy to announce that the Update 0.250 is now available!



[h2]List of Update 0.250 Changes[/h2]

[h3]TOS-1M Changes[/h3]

In this update, we are addressing the matter of TOS-1M and its gameplay. The vehicle currently has two issues. First, thanks to its armor and the lack of ammo rack it can ride out, deal enormous damage while weathering incoming fire, and hide again for reload. Secondly, the basic 122mm configuration is useless due to its abysmal accuracy. We are therefore introducing the following changes:

• Reduced the frontal turret armor of the vehicle (thus creating a large weakspot)
  
• Removed the “unmanned turret” feature
  
• Hard-kill APS now only works in the frontal arc (much like the one on the KF51 Panther)
  
• Increased the accuracy of 122mm rockets
  

[h3]AFT-10 Improvements[/h3]

The AFT-10 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer has been underperforming for a long time. We are therefore introducing the following changes:

• Vehicle’s ATGMs now ignore soft-kill APS
  
• Increased the missile agility from 20 deg/s to 30 deg/s
  
• Increased the camouflage factor from 20% to 30%
  
• Reduced the time between launches from 3.53s to 3s
  
• Reduced the launcher reload time from 34s to 30s
  

[h3]Seahawks Battle Path[/h3]

In this update, we are correcting several issues of the Seahawks Battle Path and its vehicles:

• VN20: Fixed an issue where the vehicle received too high damage by ramming
  
• VN20: Fixed other smaller visual issues
  
• Fixed the description of the “Eliminate the Marauders!” mission

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• AbramsX Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• MPF Tier 10 Premium Light Tank
  
• Griffin 120mm Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
  
• Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer

• M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank (with Desert Storm bundle)
  
• Treasure Trove with 10.000 Gold
  
• Battle Path Boosters
  

Between January 16, 2025 and January 23, 2025, the following items will be available:

[h2]AbramsX[/h2]

AbramsX is an advanced technology demonstrator. It was built as a private venture by General Dynamics Land Systems and unveiled in 2022 to show what the future of the Abrams MBT could look like. It is considerably lighter than a fully upgraded Abrams while retaining its protection levels and firepower thanks to its cutting edge systems. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the AbramsX is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While still maintaining the basic Abrams line features such as a 120mm gun, it is considerably lighter and less armored. On the other hand it is also faster, more agile, stealthier, and features a 30mm autocannon that can reduce most light vehicles to a pile of scrap in seconds thanks to its new ammunition. As a result, this tank can dish out a lot of damage but requires careful and skilled gameplay.

The AbramsX 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]MPF Light Tank[/h2]

The General Dynamics Light Tank prototype is one of the contenders in the U.S. Mobile Protected Firepower program to replace the Stryker platform in the fire support role for the U.S. Airborne forces. It is one of very few modern Light Tanks in existence. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the MPF is a Tier 10 Premium Light Tank. Within its class, it’s one of the heaviest and the best protected specimen with its hull protected by NERA armor capable of absorbing damage in the initial stages of battle. With its powerful 120mm gun and decent mobility, it is a decent front-line fighter, holding its own even in the thickest of fighting.

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





[h2]Griffin 120mm[/h2]

The Armored Warfare version of the Griffin Light Tank is based on an early 2016 tech demonstrator, intended to show the U.S. military during the AUSA 2016 conference that General Dynamics meant business. It was built as a private venture; effectively a scaled-up example of General Dynamics was capable of providing when it came to highly mobile vehicles with a lot of firepower for the U.S. airborne forces. The U.S. Army was impressed and the design has since evolved into what is generally referred to as the MPF Light Tank. You can read more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Griffin 120mm is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank and a powerful, fast machine, armed not only with its 120mm cannon, but also with special ammunition types, making it deadly at any distance. Few Tier 9 vehicles can match its sheer ferocity on the battlefield.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



 

[h2]Bradley AAWHS[/h2]

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.



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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Stryker ADATS[/h2]

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.



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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]M1A1 Storm with Desert Storm bundle[/h2]
 
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.



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.

This vehicle is also available in the Desert Storm Bundle. As its name suggests, the bundle contains several Operation Desert Storm and War in Iraq-related items, including:

• M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium MBT
  
• Warhammer skin for the M1A2 Tier 8 MBT
  
• Iraq War ochre base paint (used by the U.S. Army)
  
• American Red Desert MERDC camouflage
  
• American Grey Desert MERDC camouflage
  
• U.S. Flag decal
  
• U.S. Flag banner
  

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
