In Development: Special Operation “Tiger Shark”

[p]Commanders![/p][p]It’s been some time since the last mission updated but we are happy that we can tell you more about the third part of the Black Company Special Operation series called Tiger Shark.[/p][p][/p][p]This mission continues the story of Joshua Seagrove and Kathryn Grey and their rise to fame as Black Company mercenaries. Upon the conclusion of the Lone Star mission, Port Houston is liberated from its occupation by Clayburn Industries.[/p][p][/p][p]In the aftermath of the events, Seagrove and Grey receive an offer from Suez Incorporated to save a ship hijacked by pirates and bringing it back in exchange for clearing their names of war crime accusations. Not willing to waste such an opportunity, they immediately set sail to a small island in the Indian Ocean.[/p][p][/p][p]As the description above suggests, the mission will take place on a tropical island controlled by ruthless pirates. These criminals are led by Louis Pareil, a ruthless French ex-special forces operator-turned-warlord so you’ll be in for quite a fight. He has quite a few aces up his sleeve.[/p][p][/p][p]We carefully listened to your feedback and made two major changes to the design. First, the mission is shorter than the previous two so you’ll no longer spend an hour fighting every time you launch it. Second, starting with its introduction, it’ll be newly possible to select which mission you want to play of the three in the menu.[/p][p][/p][p]As always there will be mission-specific achievements with new rewards, including a pirate player avatar and a brand-new camouflage for three environments.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy this Special Operation that is coming to the game in early September and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p][p][/p]

Offer: Namer, AFT-10

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]
  • [p]Namer Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
  • [p]AFT-10 Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
[p]Between August 12 and August 19, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]Namer[/h2][p][/p][p]The Namer IFV is an Israeli heavy fighting vehicle version of the Namer platform developed in the early 2000s from the Merkava Main Battle Tank. Israel is a small country and cannot affect high infantry losses, which is why the Namer features extremely high levels of protection. The IFV variant is fitted with a Rafael turret, featuring 30mm autocannon and a Spike missile launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Namer is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As its history suggests, it is a superheavy TD with its protection levels being amongst the highest of its class. It is slow and ponderous but its thick front can deflect even advanced shells while maintaining adequate firepower thanks to its autocannon and ATGM combination. Its MBT-like characteristics make this vehicle quite forgiving for new players, but, as they say, a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.[/p][p]The Namer Tier 10 Premium TD is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]AFT-10[/h2][p][/p][p]The AFT-10 is a tracked ATGM carrier based on a ZBD-04 IFV hull that carries eight massive Red Arrow-10 guided missiles. In their latest version, these modern ATGMs are capable of devastating even the most modern MBTs at extreme distances and the AFT-10 was designed to do just that – to stop enemy assaults dead in their tracks. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the AFT-10 is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. Its massive ATGM launcher immediately draws comparison with another Tier 10 vehicle, the Kornet-EM. But where Kornet-EM is all about speed, stealth and missile ambushes, the AFT-10 is about one thing and one thing only – uncompromising firepower. It is capable of unleashing devastating missile salvos that can knock out even Tier 10 MBTs in seconds. Additionally, its missiles have a very high penetration value, which means that no matter the angle, no target is truly safe from its reach.[/p][p]The AFT-10 Tier 10 Premium TD is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]
  • [p]XM2001 Crusader Tier 10 Premium Self-Propelled Gun[/p]
  • [p]CATTB Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]

  • [p]Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
  • [p]Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
  • [p]Iron Crate[/p]
[p]Between August 7, 2025 and August 14, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]XM2001 Crusader[/h2][p][/p][p]The XM2001 Crusader is an American attempt to replace the M109A6 Paladin in the 1990s with something more modern. The project was cancelled in 2002 due to its heavy weight. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the XM2001 Crusader is a Tier 10 Premium Self-Propelled Gun. The Crusader is an ideal vehicle for players who like to play aggressively. Dominate the battlefield with unrivalled firepower of a three-round 155mm magazine paired with guided HE rounds, and retreat under the cover of smoke thanks to your speed and agility. The Crusader is the ultimate SPG you've been dreaming of![/p][p]The Crusader is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]CATTB[/h2][p][/p][p]The CATTB Main Battle Tank was an experimental platform, developed as one of the early steps in the creation of a next generation Abrams Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Block III Abrams, or M1A3. It was created in the 1980s as a response to the perceived threat of future Soviet super tanks and featured some truly advanced components, such as the XM291 dual caliber cannon that could switch between 120mm and 140mm calibers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the development of this tank became unnecessary and the program was canceled in the 1990s. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the CATTB is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most powerful and versatile MBTs around, devastating its opponents with its signature double-tap feature, allowing it to fire its cannon twice in short order. This allows it to drive around a corner, deal very high amounts of damage and then retreat back into cover, leaving the enemy reeling from the massive blow.[/p][p]This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop CATTB parts. Collect 100 CATTB parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Bradley AAWS-H[/h2][p][/p][p]The Bradley AAWS-H Tank Destroyer was an attempt by Loral Vought to mount four kinetic guided missiles on an extendable arm while using the Bradley IFV chassis as a platform. Kinetic missiles were cutting edge tech back in the 1980s – unlike standard ATGMs, they destroyed the target by their kinetic energy instead of a HEAT warhead, accelerating to several times the speed of sound. There was little to no defense against them, although they did have some drawbacks, which was why they were never adopted in real life. You can read more about the vehicle in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Bradley AAWS-H is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s an ATGM-based TD, carrying special kinetic missiles that actually become more effective with increasing distance to your target. It is the embodiment of a long-range missile carrier and is perfect for players who prefer sniping to close combat.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Stryker ADATS[/h2][p][/p][p]ADATS stands for “Air Defense Anti-Tank System,” describing its purpose very well. The system is intended to engage both air and ground armored targets. It was developed in the 1980s by a Swiss company called Oerlikon-Contraves and was offered as an interesting hybrid that would be able to deal with both Soviet tanks and helicopters or attack planes. Unfortunately for it, it came too late – only Canada would actually accept it in service and the end of the Cold War meant the end to all attempts at its large-scale introduction. The ADATS missiles were quite large but, more importantly, extremely fast and were certain to be extremely destructive to any Soviet armored targets, even though this thankfully never had to be tested in real combat. The ADATS turret was offered for a wide variety of platforms and was actively installed on a vehicle that is kind of like a cousin to the Stryker, the Canadian LAV-III. In this configuration, the vehicle was called MMEV.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, Stryker ADATS is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is a wheeled vehicle armed with two weapon systems – powerful long-range guided missiles and short-range unguided rockets, offering it some survivability in short range combat as well as the ability to deal tremendous damage if left to its devices.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]M1A1 Storm with Desert Storm bundle[/h2][p][/p][p]In 1985, the Abrams was upgraded with, amongst other things, the 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon. Over 5000 M1A1 tanks were produced until 1992. This tank participated in Operation Desert Storm, which forged its legendary reputation.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the M1A1 Storm is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. The M1A1 Storm look was inspired by Operation Desert Storm, including a gorgeous camouflage net model. But, more importantly, this tank is equipped with a massive frontal dozer blade, adding extra armor and ramming damage to the long list of its advantages.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Sabre[/h2][p][/p][p]The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Iron Crate[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. The Iron Crate is available in our Web Shop![/p][p][/p][p]This crate allows you to win a Tier 4 to Tier 10 Premium vehicle (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles, including:[/p]
  • [p]ZTL-11 Tier 9 Premium TD[/p]
  • [p]VN17 Tier 8 Premium AFV[/p]
[p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]
