Offer: T-15 Kinzhal

Commanders!

Today, we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • T-15 Kinzhal Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • ZUBR PSP Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Battle Coins
Between January 12 and January 19, 2023, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]T-15 Kinzhal[/h2]
 

This vehicle is a version of the T-15 heavy IFV (built on the Armata platform) but instead of the Bumerang turret featuring 30mm autocannon, it’s armed with another combat module called Kinzhal. The Kinzhal module’s main armament is long 57mm automatic cannon that can devastate even the heaviest IFVs it could meet on the battlefield. A prototype appeared in 2019 but the concept was not approved for mass production. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the T-15 Kinzhal is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. Unlike the original progression version of the T-15, it’s a vehicle that relies heavily on its autocannon. The 57mm gun is immensely powerful and can fire in three round bursts with one of the highest damage per minute outputs in the game. In addition to its outstanding firepower, the Kinzhal is heavily armored and despite its average mobility, it’s one of the most durable and versatile vehicles in Armored Warfare.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop T-15 Kinzhal parts. Collect 100 T-15 Kinzhal parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]M-95 Degman[/h2]
 

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.

[h2]ZUBR PSP[/h2]
 

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.

[h2]BWP-2000[/h2]
 

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.

Update 0.42 Now Available

Commanders!

We are happy to announce that the Update 0.42 is now available!



[h2]List of Update 0.42 Changes[/h2]

Battle Coin Token and Booster Changes for Rise of the Dragon

With this update, we are removing the Battle Coin tokens (for the Eclipse Battle Path) and the Battle Path Boost tokens from the Battle Path Shop. Additionally:
  • All Battle Coin tokens for the Eclipse Battle Path that were purchased via the Shop will be removed from player inventory and compensated with the full purchase price in Battle Coins
  • Compensation price is 4000 Battle Coins for the 500 Battle Coin token and 5600 Battle Coins for the 1000 Battle Coin token
  • Battle Coin boosters are not affected, they will stay in your inventory
  • Eclipse Battle Path tokens obtained from weekend Special Operations are not affected either
  • In the future, Battle Path blueprints and blueprint vehicles will only be possible to sell for Credits instead of Battle Coins

These changes are connected to the fact that we have detected abnormal behavior involving these items on such a scale that it prevents us from dealing with it individually. These measures will stay active until the end of the Rise of the Dragon Battle Path.

General Changes
  • Centurion AVRE: Switching between the main gun and the machinegun no longer shortens the gun aiming time
  • Centurion AVRE: Fixed the vehicle’s minimum and medium settings model
  • Centurion AVRE now counts as a Special Vehicle for Garage filter purposes
  • Leclerc T4 Rhone-Alpes skin no longer breaks the vehicle’s armor
  • Lynx Skyranger HE shells now detonate correctly above targets, dealing the intended damage

Community Highlight: Winter Contest Results

Commanders!

The winter holidays are unfortunately over but there’s one thing left to the celebrations – to announce the winners of our winter contests! Here they are.

 
[h2]Winter Camouflage Contest[/h2]
 

The following players won the winter camouflage contest:

First Place – Rice_Cooker



Second Place – Amppy



Third Place – Jura20702





 
[h2]Christmas Feast Contest[/h2]
 

The following players won the Christmas Feast contest to design a winter-themed consumable:

First Place – Hot Chocolate (Your-Mum)

When you and your men have been out in the field for days, running on fumes for energy, and just want to take a moment to rest and warm up, you take a pouch out of your storage compartment and brew up a nice hot pot of hot chocolate. Sometimes it’s the smallest things that are appreciated the most. And this gift to your crew is appreciated more than you know.
  • Crew Awareness +5%
  • Crew Survivability +5%
  • Crew Mental Stability +5%
  • Commander and Crew Relationship +25%
  • Gunner Reload Speed +5%
  • Driver Adaptability +5%
Second Place – Nitrous Oxide Booster (gringo)

How Does Nitrous Oxide Help an Engine Perform Better? When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any engine: Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.
  • Kick Ass Acceleration Boost
Third Place – Whiskey Making Kit (Iron_Monti)

A whiskey making kit allowing the crew to brew their own whiskey. Once activated, a 30 to 90 days cooldown is activated before the consumable effects become active. Effect can last several hours depending on the quantity (and quality) produced.
  • -50% crew stats
  • -100% Crew XP gain
  • Driver has trouble understanding directions and randomly steers into a unwanted direction
  • Commander sees double and has difficulties identifying targets
  • Gunner might traverse the turret in the wrong direction and shoot at the wrong target
  • 10% chance to suffer ammorack damage whenever the loader loads the gun. Reload time is randomized
  • Crew HP is doubled
  • Spotted icon appears randomly
  • Team communication is incomprehensible
  • Personal score at the end of the match is grossly overestimated
