Developer Diary: T-80BVM Details

Commanders!

Tomorrow’s update is bringing the long-awaited T-80BVM Tier 9 progression Main Battle Tank and we’d like to bring up a few details about this vehicle that may come to your attention during the vehicle’s release.



First, the unlock requirement. You’ll be asked to deal damage while driving the T-80UM-1 Bars. The damage requirement corresponds to roughly 70 matches of average active gameplay (although, as usual, exceptional players will complete this sooner). We wanted to avoid the Bars situation where, in order to unlock the tank, players were intentionally losing or leaving their T-80U matches. No more of that.

The second matter we want to address concerns the engines. The engines of the T-80BVM are a bit counter-intuitive. There are three:

  • GTD-1250TF turbine engine (1250hp)
  • GTD-1400 turbine engine (1400hp)
  • GTD-1400TF turbine engine (also 1400hp)


Two engines with the same horsepower and, additionally, the GTD-1400 engine offers higher maximum speed but lower acceleration than the previous one? What’s up with that?

The logic is as follows. Acceleration and hull traverse improvement is done via another upgrade module called GOP-165 transmission, which will work no matter what engine you have selected.

When upgrading the engine from 1250hp to 1400hp, the thing that changes for you is the maximum speed. Additionally, the basic engine has access to the Override active ability which the middle engine does not because that’s how the engine is built. The letter F in its name means “supercharged” and the engine is capable with of short bursts of higher power in real life (running it on this setting constantly would significantly reduce its lifespan).

The GTD-1400 engine does not offer this feature – in order to access the Override active ability, you must once upgrade to the GTD-1400TF engine, which unlocks the ability once again.

And as for the final issue – the 3VOF77 shell is marked as “airburst” but it works the same way as Armata’s programmable HE shell (only with a larger blast radius).

We hope this clears some things for you and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Wishlist Games Transfer: Progress so far

Commanders!

This week, we’ve made significant progress when it comes to finalizing the account transfer. Steam accounts are now transferred correctly and working (we apologize for the issues), as is a vast majority of the account transferred from MY.GAMES launcher.



However, there are still issues left to be resolved. These are (in no particular order):

  • Some accounts were transferred incorrectly (the most common symptom of this is players finding their accounts empty after transfer and the game is asking for a new player name)
  • Steam account Web Shop purchases are not working correctly
  • Players in several countries are receiving broken authorization e-mails without a code
  • Game download is slower than it should be and sometimes it stops for no reason
  • The launcher does not work with Windows 7 and 8
  • E-mails are arriving in spam (or at all) for several providers such as Hotmail, MSN or Seznam.cz (this can be solved on your end by adding the address [email protected] to trusted e-mails in your mail client, typically in Spam settings)


We’d like you to know we are working hard on fixing these problems. For now, we’d like to thank you for your patience with a gift and an XP bonus for all matches this weekend. And, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

OFFER: Asian week

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

  • Type 99B Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Hunter Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Pindad SBS Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Type 89 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • K21 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Tales from the Dark Loot Crate


Between September 12 and September 19, 2024, the following items will be available:

[h3]Type 99B[/h3]

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.



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.

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.


[h3]Hunter AFV[/h3]

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.



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.

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.


[h3]Pindad SBS[/h3]

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 [url=https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/development-sbs-pindad.



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.

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.


[h3]Type 89[/h3]

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.



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.

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.


[h3]K21[/h3]

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.



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.

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.


[h3]Tales From the Dark Loot Crate[/h3]

The Tales from the Dark Loot Crate is now available. This Loot Crate contains Tales from the Dark Battle Coins and Boosters.
