Historical Skins – Panzergrenadier

Commanders!

The German Unity Day is near and, as usual, we’ll have new German-themed content for you. This time, the main prize is the Panzergrenadier skin for the Puma IFV.



The skin is based on the camouflage used by Panzergrenadierbataillon 33 (33rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion) stationed in Neustadt am Rübenberge near Hannover (northern Germany, the state of Lower Saxony). The unit was formed in 2015 from the former 33rd Armored Battalion of the 9th Panzerlehr Brigade, founded in 1958 (with the formation of the Bundeswehr itself). Panzergrenadiesbataillon 33 has roughly 650 men split into 4 companies and is operating 44 Puma IFVs.



The camouflage in question was seen on their Pumas during a 2022 urban combat exercise near Munster. Starting with the basic paintjob, the vehicles were painted in a sort of “digital” urban camouflage, although due to the size of the rectangular camouflage segments, it serves more as a silhouette breaker in urban environment, much like the British Berlin Brigade camouflage. The rectangles are painted in four colors – sand, grey, green and yellow.



The vehicles also bear the Panzerbataillon insignia, but those are well-hidden beneath a layer of wooden pallets and rags covering the entire hull of the vehicle. The gun shroud is also covered with camouflaged fabric. Thus camouflaged, the vehicle blends the urban environment perfectly, although the camouflage was likely quite difficult to set up, judging from the amount of rigged fittings, ropes and other devices used to fasten the pallets to the hull.



Aside from its amazing look, the Panzergrenadier skin will upgrade your Puma with three upgrade modules that are usually locked behind Battle Path progression, that is:

  • MELLS ATGM Launcher
  • PERI RTWL Optics
  • Armored Crew Compartment


And that’s still not all.



Aside from the skin, we will have the following items for you:

  • Modern German camouflage, as seen predominantly on various Boxer vehicles
  • Panzergrenadierbataillon 33 emblem decal
  • Panzergrenadierbataillon 33 tactical NATO designation decal
  • Panzergrenadierbataillon 33 white palm decal


We hope that you’ll enjoy these new customization options and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Scandinavian Week

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • Stridsvagn 2000 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • CV90120 Ghost Tier 9 Premium Light Tank
  • CV90 Mk.IV Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • CV90105 TML Tier 7 Premium Light Tank
  • Swedish bundle with real-life Swedish camouflages
  • Norwegian bundle with real-life Scandinavian camouflages and unit insignia
  • Danish bundle with real-life Danish camouflage and base paint
  • Iron Crate
Between September 19, 2024 and September 26, 2024, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]Stridsvagn 2000[/h2]
 

The Stridsvagn 2000 was to be Sweden’s next Main Battle Tank, designed to combat Soviet super-tanks such as the Black Eagle. For its time, the project was nothing short of revolutionary with extremely thick frontal armor and a powerful 140mm gun that could take on literally anything in its day. However, the Soviet threat dissipated with the collapse of the Soviet Union, which pushed Sweden to seek a cheaper solution to its tank problem, namely the Leopard 2 MBT. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Stridsvagn 2000 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank that represents the essence of practicality. Solid armor, decent mobility and excellent damage over time output make this tank one of the most versatile tools you can have in your arsenal, equally capable in PvP and PvE. Aside from its advanced NERA armor, the Strv 2000 features a coaxial 40mm autocannon. The key to success is switching between both weapon systems and maximizing your damage output while your NERA armor eliminated one enemy shell after another.

The Stridsvagn 2000 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 
This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]CV90120 Ghost[/h2]
 

The CV90120 “Ghost” Light Tank was a Swedish demonstrator based on an earlier fire support model of the CV90120. As its name suggests, the vehicle is armed with 120mm smoothbore cannon but that’s the least interesting on its features. The Ghost is named after a special camouflage system called ADAPTIV that's capable of masking the bulky tank in the IR spectrum so well it disappears from enemy screens – like a ghost. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the CV90120 Ghost is a Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. Depending on your choices, it can be configured two ways – as a fast hit-and-run Light Tank using the combination of a Ready Rack and its excellent mobility, or as a stealthy sniper using the ADAPTIV system and the upgraded ammunition. While you won’t be as stealthy as dedicated Tank Destroyers or small AFVs, you’ll still be able to do a lot of damage from behind the safety of your lines.


This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]CV90 Mk.IV[/h2]
 

The Swedish CV90 Mk.IV IFV is the most modern version of the old but constantly developed CV90 platform. Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the vehicle was upgraded so much that this 2018 model bears little resemblance to the three decades old original, featuring cutting edge electronics as well as a brand new turret. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the CV90 Mk.IV is a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It is a durable and reliable infantry carrier capable not only of dealing tremendous damage with its 50mm autocannon, but of launching powerful Spike missiles as well. In addition to that, it’s relatively well-protected and can also carry Mechanized Infantry. What’s there not to like?

This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]CV90105 TML[/h2]
 

The CV90105 TML from the 1990s was one of the first attempts to convert the CV90 chassis into a fire support vehicle by combining it with a French TML turret. The result was a fairly capable Light Tank with considerable firepower in the form of its 105mm GIAT gun that could successfully take out most MBTs of its time. Unfortunately, the vehicle didn’t manage to attract any customers and remained a prototype only. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the CV90105 TML is a Tier 7 Premium Light Tank. Depending on your choices, it can be configured two ways. You can opt for a more sustained firepower with the large 12-round clip – this way you need to stay behind your own team or hide in bushes, turning your Light Tank into something like a close support Tank Destroyer. Or, you can opt for the fun option of turning your CV90105 TML into a hit and run monster. Ambush an enemy, empty the magazine into his sides or rear and immediately retreat.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]Swedish Bundle[/h2]
 

Despite its neutrality, Sweden is one of the premiere arms manufacturers in the world and has a powerful standing army to boot. Even though the country was not a part of the NATO until few months ago, much of its vehicle fleet is compatible with western tech and the country now operates the Leopard 2 MBT (under the name Stridsvagn 122) as well as several CV90 variants. This bundle includes several camouflages tied to Sweden as well as a special player title.



The bundle consists of:
  • Scandinavian Summer camouflage (read more)
  • Scandinavian Winter camouflage (read more)
  • Swedish Export camouflage (read more)
  • Swedish Urban camouflage (as seen on various CV90 prototypes)
  • Swedish Flag decal
  • Player title “Viking”


 
This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]Norwegian Bundle[/h2]
 

Unlike Sweden, Norway is a part of the NATO with its units regularly taking part in operations abroad. One of the elite units of the Norwegian military is the famous Telemark Battalion of Mechanized Infantry and this bundle includes two items tied to it as well as the Scandinavian camouflages used by Norway and a Norwegian base paint, as seen on a Telemark Leopard deployed to Estonia in 2017.



The bundle consists of:
  • Scandinavian Summer camouflage (read more)
  • Scandinavian Winter camouflage (read more)
  • Scandinavian base paint (read more)
  • Telemark Battalion decal
  • Telemark Battalion flag
  • Player title “Einheri”


This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]Danish Bundle[/h2]
 

And last but definitely not least, we have Denmark, the army equipped with some of the best military hardware there is, including the Leopard 2A7DK Main Battle Tank. Aside from its simple but unique camouflage, this bundle contains a Danish player title, the Scandinavian base paint and a decal.



The bundle consists of:
  • Danish camouflage (read more)
  • Scandinavian base paint (read more)
  • Danish 1st Armored Battalion decal
  • Player title “Thrice-Hearted” (referring to the Holger Danske legend)


This bundle is available in our Web Shop. It can be accessed it directly in the game by clicking the shopping cart button in the upper left corner of the Garage.
 

 
[h2]Iron Crate[/h2]
 

We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. The Iron Crate is available in our Web Shop!



This crate allows you to win a Tier 4 to Tier 10 Premium vehicle (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles, including:
  • ZTL-11 Tier 9 Premium TD
  • VN17 Tier 8 Premium AFV
