[h2]EBRC JAGUAR[/h2]

The Jaguar is a part of the Scorpion program, launched to develop France’s next generation of armored fighting vehicles. In this program, the Jaguar fulfills the role of a light recon and fire support vehicle. It combines cutting edge technology with high speed and excellent firepower. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Jaguar is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It’s fast, light and an amazing scout, but it can also hold its own in combat thanks to its 40mm cannon, guided missiles and active suspension.

The Jaguar Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.





[h2]Challenger 2 Streetfighter II[/h2]

The Streetfighter II is an upgrade program to overhaul the venerable Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank for the conditions of modern battlefields, especially urban combat. It features a number of improvements and extra components, most notably a dozer blade, a Brimstone ATGM twin launcher and an advanced camera system by Elbit. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 2 Streetfighter is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Its main advantages include excellent frontal armor (enhanced by the presence of its dozer blade covering its lower frontal plate), increased ramming damage and long range lethality, courtesy of a powerful ATGM launcher. Whether you desire to bring the fighting up close or support other MBTs at distance, the Streetfighter’s got your back.

The Streetfighter II 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]Leclerc Tropicalisé Skin[/h2]

This skin for the Leclerc Tier 9 Main Battle Tank is based on an export model for the United Arab Emirates. In real life, the vehicle features a number of improvements or modifications over the French model, but the in-game version simply adds this cool desert look to your Leclerc. You can read more in our dedicated article.



The skin is available as a part of the Tropicalisé Bundle, which contains the following items:
  • Tropicalisé skin for Leclerc
  • FORAD Blue base paint
  • 7 Platinum Loot Crates
  • 1.500 Gold


This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Glorieux Skin for Leclerc[/h2]

Another realistic skin that we introduced based on your feedback is the Glorieux one. This skin for the Leclerc Tier 9 progression Main Battle Tank is based on one particular Leclerc MBT that took part in the KFOR operations in former Yugoslavia. Its unique camouflage along with other historical details makes it one of the best looking skins to date. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



This skin is available in a bundle:

  • Glorieux skin for Leclerc
  • White base paint (used by the French during U.N. peacekeeper missions, goes nicely with the next decal)
  • Battle-Hardened status for Leclerc
  • 1.000 Gold


Please note that the bundles include the skin but not the Leclerc MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Bastille skin for Leclerc Prototype[/h2]

Bastille is a French-themed skin for the Leclerc Prototype Tier 7 progression Main Battle Tank, celebrating the abovementioned holiday with the traditional French colors.



The skin is available as a part of the Bastille Bundle, which contains the following items:
  • Bastille skin for Leclerc Prototype
  • 3 Platinum Loot Crates
  • 500 Gold

Please note that this bundle does not contain the Leclerc Prototype Tier 7 MBT, only the skin itself.

Please note that this bundle does not contain the Leclerc Prototype Tier 7 MBT, only the skin itself.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Leclerc T40[/h2]

Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.






[h2]AMX 10 RCR[/h2]

The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.

This vehicle is also available in a special bundle, which contains the following items:

  • AMX-10 RCR Tier 8 Premium TD
  • Vive la France skin for AMX-10 RCR
  • République skin for ERC-90 F4 Sagaie
  • 500 Gold


This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]French Camouflages[/h2]

We’ve also prepared two French historical camouflages. In reality, it’s pretty much one iconic camouflage with two different layouts that is most famous for its appearance on the Leclerc MBT. It consists of green, brown and black stripes and is available in two variants – one has the edges clearly defined while the other variant has them blurred. Both were observed on the Leclerc MBT, sometimes even on vehicles from the same series.



Please note that each of these camouflages can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available (any vehicle with the exception of vehicles with permanent skins) and that each of these camouflages can be used in all three environments.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Panzer 87-140[/h2]

The Panzer 87-140 is an experimental version of Panzer 87 (Swiss Leopard 2A4), fitted with a RUAG 140mm smoothbore cannon and an armor kit called WE. It was developed in the 1980s and early 1990s to counter the next generation of Soviet MBTs, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project was shelved, only to resurface around 2005-2006 but never passing the experimental stage. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the Panzer 87-140 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Much like other Leopard series MBTs, it’s a long-range fighter with an extremely powerful gun and the ability to fire with pinpoint accuracy. Even though its armor leaves much to be desired, at long range, this MBT has few equals and can be considered one of the best snipers of its class.

The Panzer 87-140 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]Leopard 2 Revolution[/h2]

The Leopard 2 Revolution is a continuation of the older Evolution upgrade, intended to improve the performance of the older variants of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank in order to make it excel even on the battlefields of the 21st century. The improvements include a comprehensive armor upgrade, ROSY soft-kill APS and smoke grenade launchers as well as an entire suite of cutting edge electronics. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leopard 2 Revolution is a Tier 8 Main Battle Tank. It is not only well-armored, it also features an extremely accurate 120mm gun with advanced ammunition, allowing it to destroy its opponents at very long ranges, rivaling those of Tank Destroyers. The German tanks in general perform best at longer ranges and the Revolution is no exception.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Marder 2[/h2]

The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h2]Treasure Trove[/h2]

Today, we have a special offer for you. A veritable treasure trove of 10.000 Gold awaits you at a discounted price.



Please note that this item can only be purchased once per user. You can find out more about Gold and its uses in our dedicated article.
