Armored Warfare News

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We have recently shown you the new camouflages we will have for you in the future but that’s not all the German-themed content we will have for you. We’ll also be introducing the first skin for the Leopard Evolution Main Battle Tank called “Schweppermann.”[/p][p][/p][p]Now, we promised we’d continue with the topic of knights and here it is. This skin paints the Leopard 2 Evolution in Bundeswehr colors, including its camouflage and unit insignia. Now, the skin is obviously not based on a specific one vehicle because Leopard Evolution is not (and likely never will be) used by the Bundeswehr. It basically was an export configuration that would later be superseded by Leopard Revolution. However, the skin’s specific elements are taken from existing vehicles. Let’s take a look at them one by one.[/p][p]The camouflage is, of course, the standard NATO one. It entered service around 1986 (it therefore predates unified Germany) and consists of three basic colors – green, black and brown. However, as you can see, the tank features additional white stripes across its hull and turret. These stripes (also known as the “Zebra” camouflage) were seen on several Leopard 2 tanks belonging to the 304th Tank Battalion (Panzerbataillon 304) during winter exercises at Hohenfels in the January of 1996. According to the Germans, this pattern obscures the tank silhouette fairly well at around 2500 meters.[/p][p][/p][p]The tank, however, does not belong to Panzerbataillon 304 – based on its insignia, it belongs to Panzerbataillon 33. This unit was using Leopard 2A4s (the Leopard Evolution is based on) in the early 1990s and was the first one to switch to the newer Leopard 2A5 model. Back then the unit belonged to the 1st Panzergrenadier Brigade (before its disbandment in 2007).[/p][p]The tactical number and the license plate also belong to a tank from the same unit, as does the unit emblem (a palm tree) on the left side of the turret and the knight image on its right side. This charging knight emblem was seen during the same exercise as the camouflage (Hohenfels, January 1996).[/p][p][/p][p]The only truly unhistorical element is the tank’s name – Schweppermann. The name matches the knight emblem nicely, we thought, as Seyfried Schweppermann was a legendary 13th and 14th century German knight who served Emperor Ludwig IV. He was known not only for his piety and bravery, but also for fighting well into his 60s. The barracks of Panzerbataillon 123 are named after him (we’ll have a decal belonging to the unit as well), bringing the reference to a full circle.[/p][p][/p][p]And that’s it, commanders. The skin will be available alongside the abovementioned camouflages and decals in October. We hope you’ll like it and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

• [p]Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]T-90M Proryv Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]XM2001 Crusader Tier 10 Premium Self-Propelled Gun[/p]
• [p]Boxer RIWP Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle (available directly without Loot Crates)[/p]
• [p]ASCOD LT-105 Tier 8 Premium Light Tank (available directly without Loot Crates)[/p]

[p]Between September 16, 2025 and September 23, 2025, the following items will be available:[/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]T-90M Proryv[/h2][p][/p][p]The T-90M Proryv the most advanced Russian Main Battle Tank currently in service and the ultimate step in a long journey that began with the T-72. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the T-90M Proryv is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. With its solid firepower, excellent armor and decent mobility, this vehicle is suitable for all players, including fairly new ones. No matter what tactic you choose, the T-90M will not let you down as it is one of the most versatile MBTs in the entire game.[/p][p]The T-90M 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]XM2001 Crusader[/h2][p][/p][p]The XM2001 Crusader is an American attempt to replace the M109A6 Paladin in the 1990s with something more modern. The project was cancelled in 2002 due to its heavy weight. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In Armored Warfare, the XM2001 Crusader is a Tier 10 Premium Self-Propelled Gun. The Crusader is an ideal vehicle for players who like to play aggressively. Dominate the battlefield with unrivalled firepower of a three-round 155mm magazine paired with guided HE rounds, and retreat under the cover of smoke thanks to your speed and agility. The Crusader is the ultimate SPG you've been dreaming of![/p][p]The Crusader 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]Boxer RIWP[/h2][p][/p][p]The Boxer RIWP is a combination of a Tracked Boxer hull and a modular turret called RIWP. Both components are fairly new and haven’t been officially combined as of now but the Boxer platform can theoretically support this weapon system. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Boxer RIWP is a Tier 10 Premium AFV that’s unique for one reason – it offers five fairly distinctive weapon configurations along with a reliable autocannon capable of quickly dealing with lighter targets. It can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]ASCOD LT-105[/h2][p][/p][p]If there was a word best describing the ASCOD platform, it would be the word “international”. It was developed by the Austrians and the Spanish, adopted by the British and available with a wide range of turrets. The joint project from 1988 eventually led to a number of vehicles using the ASCOD platform, the two best-known results of which are the Austrian Ulan IFV and the Spanish Pizarro IFV. The ASCOD LT-105 was a fire support variant of the platform, offered with pretty much any turret a customer would like, including those from B1 Centauro, M1128 MGS or even a South-African one by Denel. However, after two decades of not having to found any customers, the project was terminated and by 2015-2016, it was removed from all official offers. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the ASCOD LT-105 is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank. It is fairly unique in one aspect. It is possible to select one of the two turrets: the manned Denel turret with the GT7 gun or the Low-Profile Turret by General Dynamics with the M68 gun, known from the M1128. The first turret has better kinetic shells but fires in a normal manner, while the latter has a clip-style autoloader, balanced by worse overall characteristics of the gun.[/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]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]The summer’s technically not over yet but the weather says different and with it behind us, it’s time to take a look at some of our upcoming autumn content. For a future German-themed event, we’ve prepared new camouflages and decals for you. Let’s take a look at them together.[/p][p][/p][p]The first of our winter camouflages is called German (134 Panzerbataillon). As its name suggests, this unusual (atypical) German camouflage was seen on a Leopard 1A1A2 belonging to the 134th Tank Battalion of the 13th Panzergrenadier Brigade during the Central Guardian exercise in the morning of January 21, 1985, in Ohmes near Kirtorf.[/p][p][/p][p]Central Guardian was a part of the wider REFORGER 85 exercise and the German goal of it was to train in poor weather conditions alongside the U.S. Army reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank. Indeed, it was a cold, snowy day in West Germany and the crew decided to paint their otherwise white-painted tank with irregular green lines to break its silhouette.[/p][p][/p][p]The second camouflage is considerably more modern. It’s called German (Gebirgsjägerbrigade 23) and was seen on a Bandvagn 206 carrier belonging to the German 23rd Mountain Infantry Brigade during the Grand North exercise in Norway in the February and March of 2024.[/p][p][/p][p]The exercise was a part of the Quadriga 24 Bundeswehr exercise, the goal of which was once again training relocation and combat in poor weather with some 12000 German soldiers taking part in it.[/p][p]In addition to these camouflages, there will be three decals available, all three belonging to Bundeswehr tanks.[/p][p]The Panzerbataillon 123 decal displays the knight helmet of Seyfried Schweppermann, a legendary German knight from the 14th century. It was seen during an exercise in 1990 on a Leopard 2 tank belonging to the 123rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Tank Brigade during an exercise.[/p][p][/p][p]You may know this emblem from the Leopard 2A4 Budeswehr skin that’s already available and belongs to the same unit. It was adopted by the unit in 1974 and it symbolizes the shock and awe power of armored, mobile troops – be it tanks today or knights in the Middle Ages. We’ll talk more about Seyfried Schweppermann in the future.[/p][p]The Panzerbataillon 121 decal also carries medieval symbolism with it. It displays a knight sword in a yellow triangle and was seen on a Leopard 2 tank belonging to the 121st Tank Battalion of the 12th Tank Brigade during the same exercise. The color yellow is common for all emblems of this tank brigade.[/p][p][/p][p]The sword is double-edged, which actually has a meaning – it’s meant to symbolize that the tanks and panzergrenadiers (mechanized infantry) are two blades of the same sword.[/p][p]And, last but not least, the Teutonic Knight decal showing a charging knight with a lance in the form of a machinegun barrel was seen relatively recently on a Leopard 2A6 tank belonging to the 203rd Tank Battalion.[/p][p][/p][p]And that’s it for now, but we’ll return to the topic of knights in the near future. We hope that you’ll enjoy the new assets and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

• [p]Iron Crate[/p]

[p]Between September 11 and 18, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]TOS-1M Buratino[/h2][p][/p][p]The TOS-1M Buratino is a prototype version of the Russian TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy rocket launcher. It was designed in 1997 at Omsk as an improvement to the old TOS-1 whose roots go back all the way to the Afghan War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the TOS-1M Buratino is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As befits its massive rocket launcher installed on the top of a T-90A MBT chassis, its firepower is all but unparalleled and you are looking at perhaps the most destructive vehicle of Armored Warfare. It is available in two configurations – with fast-launching 122mm rockets and the iconic 220mm rockets that can be unlocked either by installing a skin (Koshmar), or by progressing through an active Battle Path.[/p][p]The TOS-1M 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]Koshmar Bundle[/h2][p][/p][p]Additionally, we've prepared a skin bundle with a new skin. The skin “Koshmar” we have prepared for you is for the TOS-1M Tier 10 Premium TD. Not only is it cool looking, it also unlocks the overprogression modules for you, including the 220mm turret and the 220mm thermobaric rockets. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Koshmar Bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: TOS-1M Koshmar[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Armata 152[/h2][p][/p][p]The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate![/p][p]The Armata 152 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]Boyevaya Podruga Bundle (T-14 Armata)[/h2][p][/p][p]The Boyevaya Podruga skin for the T-14 Armata Tier 10 Main Battle Tank is modeled after a famous Soviet WW2 tank, commanded by Mariya Oktyabrskaya. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Boyevaya Podruga bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: Boyevaya Podruga for T-14 Armata[/p]
• [p]8 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Bundle (T-80UM-1)[/h2][p][/p][p]This skin for the T-80UM-1 Tier 8 MBT is based on the camouflage and markings as seen in 2006 on a T-80U in Kubinka. You can read more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]We are offering the Defender skin in a bundle, which includes:[/p]

• [p]Defender skin for the T-80UM-1 MBT[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BMP-1P Spetsnaz Skin[/h2][p][/p][p]The skin for the BMP-1P Tier 4 AFV is based on a BMP-1 belonging to the 101st Special Operations Brigade of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as seen during the Battle of Grozny in 1996. You can read more in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]The skin is available as a part of the Spetsnaz Bundle, which contains the following items:[/p]

• [p]Skin: Spetsnaz[/p]
• [p]Russian (Interior Forces) camouflage[/p]
• [p]3 Platinum Loot Crates[/p]
• [p]500 Gold[/p]

[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Kurganets-25[/h2][p][/p][p]The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.[/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][/p][h2]Gadyuka[/h2][p][/p][p]The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Iron Crate[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. The Iron Crate is available in our Web Shop![/p][p][/p][p]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:[/p]

• [p]ZTL-11 Tier 9 Premium TD[/p]
• [p]VN17 Tier 8 Premium AFV[/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]
