Offer: AbramsX, CATTB, MPF LT

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

AbramsX Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
CATTB Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
MPF Tier 10 Premium Light Tank

Between May 27, 2025 and June 3, 2025, the following items will be available:

[h3]AbramsX[/h3]

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.

[h3]MPF Light Tank[/h3]

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.

[h3]CATTB[/h3]

The CATTB Main Battle Tank was an experimental platform, developed as one of the early steps in the creation of a next generation Abrams Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Block III Abrams, or M1A3. It was created in the 1980s as a response to the perceived threat of future Soviet super tanks and featured some truly advanced components, such as the XM291 dual caliber cannon that could switch between 120mm and 140mm calibers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the development of this tank became unnecessary and the program was canceled in the 1990s. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the CATTB is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most powerful and versatile MBTs around, devastating its opponents with its signature double-tap feature, allowing it to fire its cannon twice in short order. This allows it to drive around a corner, deal very high amounts of damage and then retreat back into cover, leaving the enemy reeling from the massive blow.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop CATTB parts. Collect 100 CATTB parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.

We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

In Development: BMT-72-140

[p]Commanders!

Today we’d like to tell you more about a vehicle that’s coming this summer – the Ukrainian BMT-72-140 Main Battle Tank.

BMT-72 prototype

As usual, a bit of history.

The BMT-72 was a Ukrainian attempt to convert a Main Battle Tank into an infantry carrier while retaining all its armor and firepower.

As the name suggests, a T-72 hull was used as the basis for the project. The hull was cut right behind the turret and a small troop compartment was inserted between the turret ring and the engine compartment, giving the vehicle its uncanny, long appearance. Five men could fit into the troop compartment that was accessible through several hatches behind the turret.

The engine was also changed to a domestic one as the Ukrainian 6TD series of engines were very compact. The turret was replaced with one belonging to T-80UD, likely for availability purposes in case of mass-production.

T-72-120 prototype

A single prototype was developed around 2002 and was offered primarily to the Ukrainian Army. There was unfortunately very little interest from Ukraine’s side, partially due to budgetary constraints and partially due to the experimental nature of the vehicle. Afterwards, the vehicle was offered for export for several years without success before it faded into obscurity for more than a decade. In 2018, a new version of this vehicle appeared – kind of. The hull of the old vehicle was combined with a turret from another unsuccessful prototype called T-72-120.

The T-72-120 tank was also offered for export. The main idea behind it was replacing the old Soviet 125mm gun with a NATO standard 120mm smoothbore cannon called KBM2. The cannon was automatically loaded from a large bustle that was added to the turret. At some point in the mid-2010s, the designers decided to combine both projects, albeit unsuccessfully.

BMT-72 late prototype with T-72-120 turret

In 2018, this vehicle appeared not as a working prototype, but as part of the BREM-84 ARV capability demonstration – it was simply towed around, and that was its final appearance. The entire concept suffered from a number of issues, from agility to the fact the troops couldn’t get out when the gun was facing forward because their hatches were covered by the turret.

140mm Baghira gun

Our version of the BMT-72 uses the T-72-120 turret with one major change. The 120mm KBM2 gun was replaced by another Ukrainian experimental weapon called Baghira. This 140mm smoothbore cannon was developed in the late 1990s to fit into standard 125mm mounts. In real life, this gun never appeared on the BMT-72 but we took this liberty to make sure the vehicle is appropriate for its Tier.

[/p][h3]In Armored Warfare, the BMT-72-140 will be a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank.[/h3][p]
The main idea behind the BMT-72-140 gameplay is that you’ll have a Main Battle Tank that’s capable of deploying infantry. This is the vehicle’s unique feature although its gameplay will be interesting as well.

Armor-wise, we’re looking at something akin to the T-64BVs – a rather thin hull (roughly comparable to Tier 8 T-72B3) complemented by powerful Nizh ERA as well as two APS systems – the Varta soft-kill APS and the Zaslin hard-kill APS. The vehicle will have a lot of hitpoints as well but it will not be an armored behemoth but rather a relatively mobile and high hitting Main Battle Tank.

Its 1200hp engine is more than enough for its roughly 50 tons and the biggest advantage it’ll have will be its powerful 140mm gun capable of firing APFSDS, HE and regular HEAT rounds. And, of course, there’s the infantry deployment of all three usual types – anti-tank troops, mortar troops and sniper.

Overall, the vehicle will be an effective Main Battle Tank capable of dealing out a lot of damage but its relatively thin armor (as well as poor side protection) means that it will be more effective as a fire support vehicle than a classic frontline breakthrough tank.

We hope that you’ll enjoy the vehicle and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
