Offer: VN20, XK3

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]
  • [p]VN20 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
  • [p]XK3 Phantom 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]QN-506 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
  • [p]VT-5 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank[/p]
  • [p]Pile of Gold Loot Crate[/p]
[p]Between January 15, 2026 and January 22, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]VN20[/h2][p][/p][p]The VN20 is a heavy infantry fighting vehicle prototype from China that was unveiled in 2020. Based on a heavily modified MBT hull, it was offered for export in multiple configurations with different turrets. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the VN20 is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. The vehicle is strong on its own, combining excellent firepower with powerful armor. However, what truly makes it stand out is its ability to deploy an autonomous turret that targets enemies within a certain area and showers them with a hailstorm of 30mm shells.[/p][p]The VN20 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]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]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]VT-5[/h2][p][/p][p]The VT-5 is a modern Chinese Light Tank that was developed specifically with export in mind. There are many reasons why a country without its own tank development should opt to purchase a Light Tank instead of a full-scale Main Battle Tank. It’s equally as fast if not faster with equal firepower but, what is most important, it is affordable. The VT-5 excels in all these categories. While its armor cannot match that of an MBT, it can protect its crew against most infantry threats thanks to its ERA and cage armor sets. It also has a powerful 105mm gun capable of firing guided missiles, it is packed with advanced electronics and is supremely agile thanks to its 1000hp diesel engine. Simply put, wraps cutting edge technologies up into an affordable bundle. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the VT-5 is a very powerful Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. Fast and agile, it features solid levels of protection (the configuration in the game is the one featuring the ERA kit as well as the turret cage armor) and a good rate of fire. Additionally, its gun is capable of firing guided missiles. It’s an ideal machine for players who value speed and agility, as it offers plenty of both. The VT-5 is capable of dancing around its opponents on the battlefield, outperforming even some AFVs in mobility.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]QN-506[/h2][p][/p][p]The QN-506 fire support vehicle is a Chinese attempt to design a cheap, export-oriented alternative to the Russian BMPT series. Instead of converting a second or third generation MBT, the engineers at Wuhan Guide Infrared Co., Ltd., likely to keep the vehicle as affordable as possible, opted to base their project on the Type 59 MBT, which is, in its basic form anyway, a copy of the old Soviet T-55 medium tank from the late 1950s. They jam-packed it with cutting edge electronics and a number of weapon systems, including ATGMs, an automatic cannon or smaller caliber rockets. However, despite the use of an unmanned turret, the protection levels of this vehicle are still quite low and, so far, there haven’t been any signs of interest in the QN-506. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In Armored Warfare, the QN-506 is a Premium Tier 9 Tank Destroyer that gameplay-wise resembles the popular BMPT series. However, unlike the Russian Terminators, it has a number of interesting features including three different weapon systems (30mm cannon, 70mm unguided rockets and 151mm ATGMs) and loitering recon ammunition flying towards the end of a map and spotting everything in its path. The last ability is unique to the QN-506 and makes it one of the most potent support vehicles on the battlefield.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Pile of Gold[/h2][p][/p][p]We also have the Pile of Gold Loot Crate for you. This Loot Crate contains copious amounts of Gold for you to win.[/p][p][/p][p]This Loot Crate includes:[/p]
  • [p]250.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]100.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]50.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]10.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]5.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]1.000 Gold[/p]
  • [p]500 Gold[/p]
  • [p]100 Gold[/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]

Offer: Object 640 and Object 490

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]
  • [p]Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]BMP-2M Berezhok Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]BTR-82A Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]Msta-S Tier 9 Premium Self-Propelled Gun[/p]
  • [p]Khrizantema-S Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
[p]Between January 9 and January 15, 2026, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]Object 490[/h2][p][/p][p]The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.[/p][p]The Object 490 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Object 640[/h2][p][/p][p]The Object 640 is one of the last Soviet era “super tank” monsters, designed to surpass anything the west could field on the battlefield. It featured extremely advanced armor, making it highly resistant to hits while keeping its weight low. The design was truly revolutionary for the late 1980s, but, like with many other Soviet projects of the era, it was discontinued due to the lack of funding. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Object 640 “Black Eagle” is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is a fast, agile and well-protected vehicle that plays in a typical Russian-style MBT fashion – ideal for players who want to take things up close and personal. This version of the tank does not feature any camouflage and is ready to be customized as you see fit.[/p][p]The Object 640 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]BMP-2M Berezhok[/h2][p][/p][p]The BMP-2M Berezhok is one of the latest modifications of the now obsolete Soviet BMP-2. It received a new turret and a limited numbers of these infantry fighting vehicles are already in service. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BMP-2M is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. While not exactly well-armored, it is fitted with multiple weapon systems, including a powerful 30mm autocannon and deadly Kornet missiles. It is truly one of the most hard-punching AFVs in the game and is suitable for aggressive, skilled players.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BTR-82A[/h2][p][/p][p]The BTR-82A is the standard wheeled armored fighting vehicle of the Russian army. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BTR-82A is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. Despite its light armor, the BTR-82A can – especially in its upgraded form with missile launchers – hit the enemy where it hurts. Fast, maneuverable and rugged, in skilled hands the BTR-82A turns into one of the deadliest machines of its Tier.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Msta-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Msta-S SPG was developed as a replacement to the older 2S3 Akatsiya. The goal was to match (or surpass) the newly developed NATO artillery pieces with long 155mm guns. The production began in 1988 and is currently ongoing with a modernized variant rolling out for the Russian military. More than 500 Msta-S SPGs are still in Russian service and dozens were exported to several other countries. It has seen some combat during the Second Chechen War and the War in Donbass. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Msta-S is a Tier 9 Self-Propelled Gun, which makes it only usable in the Global Operations mode and in PvE. It comes with two shell types – a slow-flying one with a high flight arc, and a fast-flying one for use against more mobile targets.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Khrizantema-S[/h2][p][/p][p]The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.[/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]
