Historical Skins: BWP-2000 “Raven”

[p]Commanders![/p][p]As every year, we’ll be celebrating the Polish Independence Day in the near future and we’d like to tell you more about the new content we’ve prepared for you, including a new skin for BWP-2000 called Raven.[/p][p][/p][p]This time, the skin as well as the camouflage and decals we have for you are based on vehicles and insignia used by the Polish 20th Mechanized Brigade, as seen during the 2016 BALTOPS NATO exercises in northern Poland. Of course, the brigade is not using the BWP-2000 IFV – nobody is in fact, that vehicle remained a prototype only. That is why we took inspiration from the brigade’s BWP-1 IFVs (which is the Polish variant of the Soviet BMP-1).[/p][p][/p][p]The vehicle features standard Polish camouflage (which itself is a variant of the NATO three-tone camouflage with a distinctive shade of red-brown), covered by sand color to better blend in the coastal environment.[/p][p][/p][p]The vehicle also features the unit’s insignia such as a raven holding a ring, and the tactical emblems of the 20th Brigade. The brigade’s full name is 20th Mechanized Brigade “Bartoszycka” bearing the name of Lithuanian Field Hetman Wincenty Korwin Gosiewski, a notable 17th century Polish-Lithuanian nobleman and warrior who fought in several battles and was a staunch royalist.[/p][p][/p][p]The brigade is stationed in Bartoszyce (north-eastern Poland) and while it was founded in 1994, it carries on the tradition of two notable Polish units, the 2nd Lithuanian-Belarusian Division (1918-1920) and the 20th Infantry Division (1920-1939). It was formed as a part of an initiative to guard Poland from any attacks from the east. Its crest features a Maltese cross but the vehicles bear an emblem of a raven holding a golden ring, derived from the Ślepowron coat of arms of its patron.[/p][p]The unit is equipped not only with BWP-1s but, more recently, was one of the first to receive the K2 Black Panther Main Battle Tanks.[/p][p]Aside from the skin, we’ll also be adding the Polish (Baltic) camouflage that is built around the same concept – basic Polish camouflage pattern covered partially by the sand color used during the BALTOPS exercises.[/p][p][/p][p]And, as usual, we’ll be adding three decals:[/p]
  • [p]Emblem of the 20th Brigade (the Maltese Cross mentioned above)[/p]
  • [p]20th Brigade Raven emblem (heraldic form)[/p]
  • [p]20th Brigade Raven emblem (tactical form)[/p]
[p]As well as the Ślepowron banner as a flag.[/p][p]And that’s it, commanders. The skin will be available alongside the abovementioned camouflage and decals in November. We hope you’ll like it and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

Celebrating Halloween

[p]Commanders![/p][p]It’s that time of the year again – we’re celebrating Halloween! There are plenty of scary things going on in the world right now (Friday update releases for one) so there’s plenty of topics to choose from. We chose to lean into modern day fears that are definitely not connected to Armored Warfare and its haunted servers.[/p][p][/p][p]For the celebrations, we’ve prepared a special Halloween gift for you, obtainable until November 4, 2025. It contains:[/p]

Legendary Bundle: Oplot, Hunter, ZTQ-15

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following offer for you:[/p][p][/p][p]This bundle contains the BM Oplot Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank, Hunter Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle and the ZTQ-15 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. Additionally, the bundle contains 15 Platinum Loot Crates, 3000 Gold and 42 days of Premium Time.[/p][p][/p][p]Bundle is available in our Steam Store. Click banner to move to the store[/p][p][/p][h2]BM Oplot[/h2][p]The Oplot is a heavily upgraded T-84 Ukrainian Main Battle Tank, which is based on an older design called T-80UD. It is currently the best tank the Ukrainian military industry can offer. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In Armored Warfare, the BM Oplot is a Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank with a playstyle similar to the T-80U. Power-wise, it’s roughly on par with the T-90MS of the same Tier, but it has a very unique ability. Its advanced Duplet armor consists of several ERA layers, making it able to negate more than one HEAT shell impact. It takes several precise hits aimed at the same location to break through it, making it a very resistant vehicle on the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][h2]Hunter AFV[/h2][p]Another alternative name for this vehicle is NGAFV (or Next Gen AFV), since it belongs to a whole program to replace the obsolete M113 APC in Singaporean service and to operate alongside its predecessor, another indigenous Singaporean IFV called Bionix. Hunter is the name of the production model of this program. The Hunter AFV is the pinnacle of bleeding edge of technology. In this sense, it can be compared to the AS21 Redback and both vehicles share several characteristics, not the least of which being relatively large size. This bulky IFV offers considerable levels of protection and firepower. It is expected to serve in the Singaporean army in large numbers in the near future with its mass-production having recently begun. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Hunter AFV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. As its description above suggests, it is a rather standard-sized IFV with good levels of protection and excellent firepower (consisting of a 30mm autocannon and a Spike ATGM launcher). It also features a recently introduced type of armor, NERA. Simply put, NERA is an ablative armor kit that deteriorates whenever it gets hit. In other words, the vehicle starts with excellent protection levels but it will lose some with damage taken as the battle progresses. Apart from that, the vehicle is adequately mobile and quite universal. It can, of course, also deploy Mechanized Infantry.[/p][p][/p][h2]ZTQ-15[/h2][p]The ZTQ-15 is the current most modern domestic Chinese Light Tank and is reserved for the Chinese military only with its export counterpart, VT-5, offered for export. The ZTQ-15 Light Tank is intended to be used in mountainous regions of China where standard MBTs are all but impossible to operate. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the ZTQ-15 is a Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. It combines excellent mobility with plenty of firepower as well as adequate protection for its Tier and vehicle class. It also features several neat elements that increase its value on the battlefield, such as its active suspension and the ability to launch guided missiles from its gun or its advanced ERA. For players who prefer fast-paced, high-risk and high-reward combat style, it’s one of the best options out there.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p][p]\[[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]][/p]
