Mission: Polish Armed Forces Day

Commanders!

On August 15, 2023, the entire Poland celebrates the Armed Forces Day, commemorating the 103rd anniversary of the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, where the Polish military defeated the Red Army invading forces. During the Polish-Soviet War, the communists ultimately wanted to capture the entirety of Poland but were instead soundly defeated by the forces of Marshal Józef Piłsudski in what is commonly referred to as the Miracle of the Vistula. The celebration of this great victory and the Polish Armed Forces was renewed in 1992 and is accompanied by military parades since 2007.



This anniversary, you’ll have the opportunity to earn the M1A2 SEP v3 PL skin by winning 20 matches between August 15 and August 20, 2023 using Polish vehicles!
  • You can recognize a Polish vehicle by the Polish flag in its description. These include the Wilk, Rosomaks, Anders, BWP-2000 and the PL-01 Light Tank
  • The list of winners will be published and the rewards issued after the end of the event

We hope you’ll enjoy it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Historical Skins – M1A2 SEP v3 PL

Commanders!

Each year on the 15th of August, Poland celebrates the Armed Forces day, commemorating the anniversary of the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, where the Polish military defeated the Red Army invading forces. For this year, we’ve prepared a skin called M1A2 SEP v3 PL for the M1A2C Tier 9 MBT.



As a part of a huge military hardware acquisition drive started by the recent events, Poland decided to purchase a large amount of American hardware. In the recent years, Poland has been a close political ally of the United States of America and it is therefore not surprising that it is building a military relationship with it, spending billions of zloty on American weapons.

One of the largest pats of the acquisition plan is the purchase of hundreds of Abrams tanks. In April 2022, Poland signed a contract for 250 modern M1A2 SEP v3 MBTs (called M1A2C in American service) to be delivered between 2025 and 2026. These are intended to replace the aging Soviet era tanks in Polish service (many of which have been transferred to Ukraine). The bulk of these vehicles should go to the 18th Mechanized Division “Tadeusz Buk” and the 1st Warsaw Armored Brigade “Tadeusz Kościuszko”.



Following the abovementioned contract, Poland also signed a second Abrams deal in January 2023 – this time for 116 M1A1 FEP MBTs. These should be available sooner than the M1A2s (which need an overhaul) – in fact, 14 of these have been already delivered in June 2023 and 24 more are expected to arrive in 2024. The M1A1 FEP version is a U.S. Marines variant of the M1A1 AIM. It included a refurbishment and improved sensors and communications equipment.

For our skin, we decided to go with the M1A2C because this tank doesn’t have any skins available yet. Aside from the standard Polish camouflage, the tank bears the insignia of the 1st Warsaw Armored Brigade “Tadeusz Kościuszko” (a mermaid carrying a sword and a shield).



This skin will be obtainable by playing Polish vehicles in Armored Warfare. The specific conditions will be announced a bit later. We hope that you’ll enjoy it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

On the 15th of August 2023, starting from 8:00 CEST, the server will not be available for 5 hours due to a planned server maintenance.

[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 Challenger 2 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]Bundeswehr skin for Leopard 2A6[/h2]
 

The Bundeswehr skin for the Leopard 2A6 Tier 9 progression Main Battle Tank visually converts in MBT into a Leopard 2A7 thanks to the changes we’ve made in the tank’s geometry. While it won’t give you any additional performance, it will allow you to make your Leopard 2A6 like the best MBT Germany currently has available. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available in two bundles:
  • Leopard 2A6 Bundeswehr bundle along with a new German winter camouflage
  • Leopard bundle along with the Bundeswehr skin for Leopard 2A5

Please note that the bundle includes the skins but not the Leopard 2A5 or the Leopard 2A6 MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game.

[h2]Bundeswehr skin for Leopard 2A5[/h2]
 

The Bundeswehr skin for the Leopard 2A5 Tier 8 progression Main Battle Tank is loosely based on a real life Leopard 2 vehicle from Panzerbataillon 104 stationed in Pfreimd, Bavaria. It features the typical German NATO camouflage, unit insignia and a camouflage net on top. If you ever dreamt of driving a Bundeswehr tank in Armored Warfare, this is as close as you’re going to get to it! You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



Please note that the bundle includes the skins but not the Leopard 2A5 MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game. The skin is available in the Leopard bundle along with the Bundeswehr skin for the Leopard 2A6 MBT.

[h2]German Camouflage Bundle[/h2]
 

German vehicles appeared in a wide range of different camouflages over the last five decades. This bundle contains pretty much all the older German camouflages that are currently implemented in Armored Warfare, including a brand new German Winter camouflage. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The bundle contains the following items:

These camouflages can be used in any environment and on any vehicle that allows you to do so but look the best on German vehicles such as the Leopard series.

[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 offer also includes the Wallbreaker version. This vehicle features unique Berlin Wall-themed camouflage.

[h2]Kampfpanzer 70[/h2]
 

The Kampfpanzer 70 is the German sibling of the MBT-70. Back in the 1960s, the Germans and the Americans cooperated on the creation of a new, highly advanced Main Battle Tank, armed with a powerful 152mm gun and cutting edge technology. The project was a failure and the tank was never adopted for several reasons, including an extremely high price. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Kampfpanzer 70 is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank, just like the MBT-70. Although both vehicles generally look the same way, there are some differences. For one, the Kampfpanzer 70 cannot fire the Shillelagh guided missiles, but can use HE ammunition, making it truly deadly against lightly armored opponents.

[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.

[h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2]
 

The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.

[h2]ASCOD LT-105[/h2]
 

If there was a word best describing the ASCOD platform, it would be the word “international”. It was developed by the Austrians and the Spanish, adopted by the British and available with a wide range of turrets. The joint project from 1988 eventually led to a number of vehicles using the ASCOD platform, the two best-known results of which are the Austrian Ulan IFV and the Spanish Pizarro IFV. The ASCOD LT-105 was a fire support variant of the platform, offered with pretty much any turret a customer would like, including those from B1 Centauro, M1128 MGS or even a South-African one by Denel. However, after two decades of not having to found any customers, the project was terminated and by 2015-2016, it was removed from all official offers. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ASCOD LT-105 is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank. It is fairly unique in one aspect. It is possible to select one of the two turrets: the manned Denel turret with the GT7 gun or the Low-Profile Turret by General Dynamics with the M68 gun, known from the M1128. The first turret has better kinetic shells but fires in a normal manner, while the latter has a clip-style autoloader, balanced by worse overall characteristics of the gun.

[h2]Eclipse Loot Crate[/h2]
