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
  • When respawning in PvE and GLOPS, the location is random every time
  • FOV is locked at the minimum value

Offer: American Firepower

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • MPF Tier 10 Premium Light Tank
  • Griffin 120mm Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
  • Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Stryker ADATS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • MBT-70 Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Commander Loot Crate
  • Treasure Trove with 10.000 Gold
Between January 5 and January 12, 2023, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]MPF Light Tank[/h2]
 

The General Dynamics Light Tank prototype is one of the contenders in the U.S. Mobile Protected Firepower program to replace the Stryker platform in the fire support role for the U.S. Airborne forces. It is one of very few modern Light Tanks in existence. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the MPF is a Tier 10 Premium Light Tank. Within its class, it’s one of the heaviest and the best protected specimen with its hull protected by NERA armor capable of absorbing damage in the initial stages of battle. With its powerful 120mm gun and decent mobility, it is a decent front-line fighter, holding its own even in the thickest of fighting.

The MPF Tier 10 Premium LT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]Griffin 120mm[/h2]
 

The Armored Warfare version of the Griffin Light Tank is based on an early 2016 tech demonstrator, intended to show the U.S. military during the AUSA 2016 conference that General Dynamics meant business. It was built as a private venture; effectively a scaled-up example of General Dynamics was capable of providing when it came to highly mobile vehicles with a lot of firepower for the U.S. airborne forces. The U.S. Army was impressed and the design has since evolved into what is generally referred to as the MPF Light Tank. You can read more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Griffin 120mm is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank and a powerful, fast machine, armed not only with its 120mm cannon, but also with special ammunition types, making it deadly at any distance. Few Tier 9 vehicles can match its sheer ferocity on the battlefield.

[h2]Bradley AAWS-H[/h2]
 

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.



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.

[h2]Stryker ADATS[/h2]
 

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.



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.

[h2]MBT-70[/h2]
 

Germany and the United States cooperated in the 1960s and 70s to create the ultimate Main Battle Tank to replace the aging Patton tank series in service. The MBT-70 prototype tank was the U.S. result of the development program. It was exceptionally well armed with a 152mm gun, capable of firing guided missiles and equipped with cutting edge technology, but high costs and endless delays in development led to the cancellation of this project and the subsequent adoption of a more reasonable design – the Abrams.



In Armored Warfare, the MBT-70 is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. Several features make it quite unique – it has a large caliber gun that, while slow to reload, delivers tremendous damage with each shot. It can also fire devastating guided missiles and while its mobility levels aren’t the best, it can devastate its opponents with well-timed shots, relying on its armor to keep it alive while it reloads. And last but not least, this vehicle has a hydraulic suspension available, allowing it to tilt its hull to improve its gun depression and elevation.
