Shockwave: CEO’s Letter to the Community

Commanders!

Several days ago, we released the single largest update to Armored Warfare in years, “Shockwave.”

Following the transfer from MY.GAMES to our platform, this was another major milestone for us when it comes to addressing the future of Armored Warfare and putting the development on the right track.



However, with that being said, we are aware of your feedback regarding the update and especially the Shockwave game mode. Rest assured that we are committed to listening to it and are already processing it in order to improve the experience in the future. Most notably:

  • The mode forces players into close combat inside the capture circle, soon resulting in incredibly difficult and hectic melee suitable for only a handful of vehicles (this is definitely something we’ll address)
  • Some AI opponents are clearly too toxic and not fun to fight, be it those dealing unavoidable damage (AbramsX, Boxer RIWP) or capable of destroying player vehicles with one shot (T-15 Lieutenants)
  • Performance issues do exist for many players, especially during later waves
  • The base layout is not ideal and makes defense more difficult than intended
  • The amount of some rewarded currencies is clearly a bit too high
  • Ammo does not refill outside of the base
  • Mode statistics (losses) count towards general player statistics and are spoiling them
  • We’ll definitely address all of these, some very soon and some a bit later. Additionally, we’ll launch a survey regarding the mode to get as much feedback as possible.


But feedback is one thing; another is the scope of our plans for the mode’s proper Season 1 release next year. What we are planning to do is:

  • Improve the gameplay to offer more viable vehicle and tactic choices
  • Comprehensively overhaul the prize system so that you can earn not just Credits and XP during the mode but also additional visual cosmetics and more
  • Integrate the mode into future Battle Path so that it can be used to complete various tasks and objectives
  • Add a seasonal ladder tab so that the best teams can compare their results and the best-performing ones are able to earn legendary prizes


In short this is only the beginning of the road for Armored Warfare’s future development and we’re incredibly excited to show you what else we have in store for the rest of the year, 2025, and beyond.

Alexey Larionov, CEO, Wishlist Games

Offer: TOS-1M

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

  • TOS-1M Buratino Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Koshmar skin for TOS-1M
  • Kurganets-25 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Msta-S Tier 9 Premium Self-Propelled Gun
  • Khrizantema-S Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Object 787 Gadyuka Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Pile of Gold Loot Crate


Between October 31, 2024 and November 7, 2024, the following items will be available:

[h3]TOS-1M Buratino[/h3]

The TOS-1M Buratino is a prototype version of the Russian TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy rocket launcher. It was designed in 1997 at Omsk as an improvement to the old TOS-1 whose roots go back all the way to the Afghan War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the TOS-1M Buratino is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As befits its massive rocket launcher installed on the top of a T-90A MBT chassis, its firepower is all but unparalleled and you are looking at perhaps the most destructive vehicle of Armored Warfare. It is available in two configurations – with fast-launching 122mm rockets and the iconic 220mm rockets that can be unlocked either by installing a skin (Koshmar), or by progressing through an active Battle Path.

The TOS-1M is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.





[h3]Koshmar Bundle[/h3]

Additionally, we've prepared a skin bundle with a new skin. The skin “Koshmar” we have prepared for you is for the TOS-1M Tier 10 Premium TD. Not only is it cool looking, it also unlocks the overprogression modules for you, including the 220mm turret and the 220mm thermobaric rockets. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available as a part of the Koshmar Bundle, which contains the following items:

  • Skin: TOS-1M Koshmar
  • 3 Platinum Loot Crates
  • 500 Gold


This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]Kurganets-25[/h3]

The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]Msta-S[/h3]

The Msta-S SPG was developed as a replacement to the older 2S3 Akatsiya. The goal was to match (or surpass) the newly developed NATO artillery pieces with long 155mm guns. The production began in 1988 and is currently ongoing with a modernized variant rolling out for the Russian military. More than 500 Msta-S SPGs are still in Russian service and dozens were exported to several other countries. It has seen some combat during the Second Chechen War and the War in Donbass. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Msta-S is a Tier 9 Self-Propelled Gun, which makes it only usable in the Global Operations mode and in PvE. It comes with two shell types – a slow-flying one with a high flight arc, and a fast-flying one for use against more mobile targets.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]Khrizantema-S[/h3]

The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.




In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]Gadyuka[/h3]

The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



[h3]Pile of Gold[/h3]
We also have the Pile of Gold Loot Crate for you. This Loot Crate contains copious amounts of Gold for you to win.
