Commanders!

The Unity Day is one of the more important holidays of Russia, celebrating the uprising that became the definitive turning point in the Polish-Muscovite war of 1612. Today, we’d like to commemorate the anniversary and the holiday with an event we’ve prepared for you.



The goals are very simple.

On November 4 or November 5, 2020 (00:00 to 23:59 CET), deal 2000 damage in any standard game mode (Random Battles, Global Operations, PvE and Special Operations) to receive the T-90MS Nakidka skin once it becomes available in the game (presumably next week). You can learn more about the skin in our dedicated article.



We hope that you will enjoy the event and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today, we’d like to show you another historical skin that we are working on – Russian T-90MS with the Nakidka camouflage.



Nakidka is a special system, developed in the early 2000s in Russia by the “NII Stali” military research institute in Moscow. In its core, it’s a camouflage made of an undisclosed radio-absorbing and IR-dampening material, intended to make large vehicles such as tanks easy to conceal on the battlefield, even from radars and thermal imagers.



According to various Russian sources, it’s quite effective, reducing the range the U.S. Boeing E-8 Joint STARS is able to identify wheeled targets from tracked ones (based on different Doppler effect signatures) from approximately 180km to roughly 30-40km.



The first prototype was likely shown to the public in 2005-2006 on a T-72B MBT, leading to some purchases of the system by the Armenian military. By 2005, the cost of one set was 2675 USD. The Russian military itself seems to not have adopted this system and it is intended mostly for export.



The model we have decided to implement in Armored Warfare comes from 2012, when an upgraded Nakidka system was demonstrated on a T-90MS MBT intended for export. It consists of a basic striped camouflage (ochre, brown and green), covered by green netting resembling artificial grass.



Like we mentioned before, the skin will be available for the T-90MS Tier 9 Main Battle Tank during an upcoming November event. We hope that you will enjoy this skin as much as we enjoyed creating it for you and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

This month, we’re launching another series of special Loot Crates in MY.GAMES Market that offer you a chance to win some of the most coveted vehicles in the game.



These crates are:

• Asian-themed (with AFT-10)
• Russian-themed (with Armata 152)
• U.S.-themed (with CATTB)

The mechanics are very simple. Each crate allows you to win one of the listed items (or its value in Gold if you have it already). To learn more about what's in a chest simply click on it, this will launch a small pop up window to show you what’s inside. You will find everything from in-game currency packs to consumables and exclusive skins that can only be found in these chests!

Please note:

After opening the crate, you will immediately roll on one of the items that are inside this Loot Crate and will see what you receive before you have to actually pay anything. No more random chances – you immediately see what you get and what you don’t. You can then opt to purchase the item you rolled on for the Loot Crate’s price. Until you do so, you will be unable to buy any other Loot Crate of the same type.



We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

We have prepared one more offer for this weekend – the opportunity to obtain the Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank.

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.

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!

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.



We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
