• M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• ZUBR PSP Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer
  
• BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle

Between June 27 and July 4, 2024, the following items will be available:

[h3]Object 490[/h3]

The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.

The Object 490 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.






[h3]M-95 Degman[/h3]

The M-95 Degman is an advanced Croatian prototype MBT, developed during the 1990s and 2000s. It is based on the previous Yugoslavian project, the Vihor MBT, which in turn has its roots in the improved T-72M series produced in former Yugoslavia. You can read more about its history in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the tank is relatively fast and fairly agile while carrying some potent firepower for its Tier. In fact, its owners can choose from two powerful guns:

• 125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun, known from many Russian MBTs
  
• 120mm CTG NATO-style smoothbore gun that you know from the Challenger 1 Falcon MBT
  

It’s worth noting that the 120mm shells have higher penetration values and the gun can also fire Falarick ATGMs while the 125mm gun has higher damage per shot. Both guns will feature good handling as well as overall performance to offset the vehicle’s weakness, which is its mediocre armor. The Degman must rely on its mobility and firepower to survive, making it an ideal vehicle for aggressive, daring players.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h3]ZUBR PSP[/h3]

The ZUBR was a Czech privately-funded project by PSP Bohemia from the 1990s to develop a successor platform to the aging Soviet-era BMP-series IFVs and various other obsolete specialized vehicles. Even though it was quite advanced for its time, it was ultimately unsuccessful due to the end of the Cold War and the subsequent cuts in European military budgets, including the Czech one. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ZUBR PSP is a Tier 7 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it fairly unique is the fact that you can choose from two different weapon systems for this vehicle:

• Cockerill CT-CV turret with 105mm gun
  
• Four-barreled TOW ATGM launcher
  

Each of these weapons changes the gameplay style of the vehicle considerably and it is up to you, how you configure this powerful machine.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h3]BWP-2000[/h3]

The BWP-2000 IFV was a Polish attempt from the mid-1990s to develop a replacement for the license-produced BMP-1 in the Polish military, since it was getting obsolete by that point. Its protracted development led to its cancellation at the onset of War on Terror, leaving Poland without a modern tracked IFV to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BWP-2000 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle armed with 60mm cannon as well as a set of ATGM launchers. When it comes to AFV playstyle, the BWP-2000 is definitely more of an infantry carrier and fire support vehicle than a scout due to its large size and powerful armament as well as the ability to deploy Mechanized Infantry. It can take quite a bit of punishment and deal it in equal measure.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

Commanders!

You’ve seen the signs. The Account Transfer, new Support Service, the logos... and what’s more, you’ve seen some of the issues brought about by what seemed to you like rushed development in some regards. Well, today, we’d like to tell you more about the state of Armored Warfare, the past, the present, and the future.



[h2]THE PAST[/h2]

Let’s start at the beginning – with Wishlist Games. Wishlist Games is a production company founded and led by Armored Warfare veterans who looked at the game and saw potential unfulfilled. The Wishlist Games team – our team – had bigger dreams, dreams they started working on upon the game’s acquisition from Meta Publishing, introducing new idea concepts such as the upcoming Drone feature.

This was a lengthy process that started many months ago and you’ll have to forgive us that only now we are ready to share all this with you, the players. In the past months, we have scaled up the development team of Armored Warfare and hired not only skilled new people but also experienced veterans who have worked on the game before and their expertise contributed to the establishment of an excellent development team.

This all didn’t happen without hiccups as we are sure you noticed. These were compounded by the fact that around the same time, it was decided to move Armored Warfare away from the MY.GAMES platform to one of our own. Scaling up software development and bringing a lot of fresh faces on board is difficult at the best of times. Doing it simultaneously with an entirely new infrastructure though? Another beast entirely – one that bites and claws and we are extremely grateful that you stuck with us through it all despite receiving a few gashes and bruises in the process along with us.

[h2]THE PRESENT[/h2]

But we have weathered the worst part of the storm and, to stick with the maritime metaphors, it should be a far smoother sailing from now on. Our own infrastructure is largely built now and we will begin testing our new launcher shortly.

You can help us by transferring your account as soon as possible as, starting from September 1, 2024, MY.GAMES login will no longer be available (which means the MY.GAMES launcher will not work).

To reward you for the hassle, we are preparing a gift that every transferring player will receive (even those who transferred the account before). We are also preparing the process for Steam and Epic Game Store account owners and we’ll keep you informed about the due process in the future.

[h2]THE FUTURE[/h2]

Own infrastructure is all well and good but surely you are wondering:

“What does this all mean for us, the players?”

Very simply put, these steps will allow us to invest more resources into the game and see it grow. Here’s what’s going to happen.



Right now, we are in the final stages of finalizing the Tales from the Dark Battle Path that we hope you’ll enjoy. This event is bound to launch in early July and will serve as an introduction to a summer of fun and activities (for you) and speeding up the development of the game (for us). While it’s a bit too late to change the event’s economy based on its feedback, we’ll be scaling up the Battle Coin income by introducing:

• More free boosters (yes, they are returning to regular levels)
  
• More Battle Coin bonuses
  
• Free and easy bonus events awarding extra Battle Coins
  

As such, the Battle Path will be easier to complete than the previous one. We are committed to acting upon your feedback (even though it sometimes takes us a bit longer than we would have wanted). Future Battle Paths will already have an overhauled (that is, more manageable) economy.





But that’s not all. It’s not even the beginning.

This summer (end of July, presumably), we’ll be dropping two long-awaited features – a new Special Operation mission and a new progression vehicle. The mission is called Lone Star and will be nothing short of legendary for more reasons than one. We hope you’ll enjoy the spectacle.







The progression vehicle is, of course, the long-awaited T-80BVM Tier 9 MBT. We’ve had a lot of fun with this one (and not always in a good way) but in the end, perseverance wins the day and we are committed to our past promises as much as we humanly can. The Object 292 will be following after a few months as the model needs more work.

Which brings us to the big thing.

For this autumn, aside from the usual content, we’re working on something big. It’s not just one thing – it is many things at once, culminating with... something unexpected, something even bigger, something we’re definitely not ready to share yet. But we’ll do our best to bring you the news as soon as possible.

We are sure you have questions. We are sure you also have doubts. But, once again, we’re committed to make Armored Warfare better for years to come and, in the following months, we’ll show you how. There might be more obstacles along the way and we may stumble once or twice. We are not perfect. But Armored Warfare is our passion project and always will be and we’ll treat it as such.

See you on the battlefield!
