Between November 21 and November 28, 2024, 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]Abrams AGDS[/h2]
 

The Abrams AGDS (Armored Ground Defense System) was a vehicle concept and proposal, drafted in July 1996 by Dr. Asher H. Sharoni (a former colonel in the Israeli Defense Forces) and Lawrence D. Bacon from a Californian company called Western Design Howden. It was supposed to be an air-defense vehicle, protecting the Abrams formations against flying threats, although its weaponry can be deployed against ground targets as well. The United States were, at the time, sorely lacking a vehicle comparable to the Russian Shilka and one of the ideas was to use the Abrams chassis paired with a new turret to produce an armored AA gun that would be able to keep up with the American tank units. This plan was never realized and the vehicle stayed only on paper but you can play the Abrams AGDS in Armored Warfare and experience what it would have been like, had it ever been deployed.



In Armored Warfare, the Abrams AGDS is a very unique Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it so special are its two large guided missile launchers capable of firing an incredibly devastating volley within seconds. The AGDS can devastate practically every opponent on the battlefield with a single salvo, making it one of the best and most effective mid-to-long range vehicles in the game. At close ranges, it can rely on excellent frontal turret protection and its two 35mm autocannons to keep enemies at bay until the missile launcher reloads to unleash another deadly swarm of missiles. The Abrams AGDS is one of the most feared vehicles in Armored Warfare!

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[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]M1134[/h2]
 

The M1134 is an advanced missile Tank Destroyer based on the Stryker chassis, used in the U.S. Army Stryker Brigade Combat Teams to enhance the unit’s firepower against enemy armor. While only lightly protected, its main strength light in the advanced model of the BGM-71 TOW missile launcher, allowing it to knock out practically every armored target it encounters on the battlefield.



In Armored Warfare, the M1134 is a Tier 8 Tank Destroyer. Its main and only weapon is the dual-shot missile launcher. As such, the vehicle is mostly defenseless at close ranges, but can take out any enemy it encounters at long distances thanks to its powerful guided missiles. Mastering it requires patient gameplay and clever use of cover, making it more suitable for experienced players.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 


 
[h2]Treasure Trove[/h2]

Commanders!

In the Seahawks Battle Path article, we mentioned that the three commanders featured as prizes in the Seahawks Battle Path would be getting an update.

These commanders are:

• Joshua Seagrove
  
• Kathryn Grey
  
• Fyodor Sokolov
  

Without further ado, here’s what we’ve done.

Joshua Seagrove is and always has been intended as a wheeled Tank Destroyer commander since his vehicle is canonically a Stryker by the name of Avenger (featured as a skin in the Battle Path prizes).



His focus should be on firepower, module destruction and camouflage. Therefore:

• Joshua Seagrove’s main skill is now static (available in full state right from the initial rank) and provides 7% reload speed buff at the expense of 25% hitpoints
  
• Two Tier 3 skills providing 3.33% bonus to rate of fire after destroying a module) got improved to 5% and moved to the corners of the field
  
• Two Tier 3 skills providing 6.89% camouflage penalty reduction for firing a gun got improved to 8% and moved to the corners of the field
  
• The entire vicinity of the main skill is now filled with Eagle Eye skills (increasing the ability to see through foliage)
  
• Two Marksman skills (improving accuracy) are also above and below the main skill
  

Kathryn Grey is supposed to be an effective Abrams commander given her canonical lore choice of driving an M1A3 Abrams (also featured as a skin in the Battle Path).



Once again, her focus is on MBT firepower. Therefore:

• Kathryn Grey’s main skill was upgraded and received a new name, Warfighter. It now scales with ranks and provides up to 8% reload time improvement as long as you drive an MBT
  
• The not-so-useful Track and Destroy skills in lower right corner were replaced by two fields of skills providing 15% chance to deal maximum damage (30% in total)
  
• We have removed various condition skills triggering whenever an enemy is within 50m and replaced them with hull traverse skills without this condition
  
• In the center of the field (that was previously empty) there is a new skill providing reload time improvement as long as there are no enemies present within 50m (regardless of class)
  

And, finally, Fyodor Sokolov is getting a set of smaller changes. His essence remains the same – he will provide an XP bonus, making him highly suitable as a commander for new players.



However:

The top rank XP bonus is increased from 40% to 50%
Replaced the Texas Duel skill (increasing accuracy) on the left side with another third rank repair skill
On the left middle side, the ATGM and accuracy skills were replaced by Motivation skills (increasing crew statistics)

Please note that Maximilian König (previously a “clone” of this commander skill-wise) is not getting this overhaul and from now on will be different. As for Samuel Thorpe (who’s not connected to the Battle Path), he will receive a deeper overhaul that will be described in a separate article.

We hope that you will enjoy these changes and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

We would like to remind you that, much like during the previous Battle Path campaigns, the Battle Coins acquired during the Tales from the Dark Battle Path will not carry over.

scr1

Please make sure you spend your remaining Battle Coins before the end of the Tales from the Dark Battle Path (November 21, 7:00 CET)!

Furthermore, please make sure you open any and all in-game Battle Path loot crates containing Tales from the Dark Battle Coins. It will not be possible to use them in the next Battle Path.

We hope that you enjoyed this Battle Path campaign and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
