Armored Warfare News

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We would like to remind you that, much like during the previous Battle Path campaigns, the Battle Coins acquired during the Shadow Protocol Battle Path will not carry over.[/p][p][/p][p]Please make sure you spend your remaining Battle Coins before the end of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path (July 22, 5:00 CEST)![/p][p]Furthermore, please make sure you open any and all in-game Battle Path loot crates containing Shadow Protocol Battle Coins. It will not be possible to use them in the next Battle Path.[/p][p]We hope that you enjoyed this Battle Path campaign and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p][/p][p]Since the Rough Riders Battle Path is coming soon and we’d like to take one more look at its weird and cool vehicles that you’ll have the opportunity to obtain soon.[/p][p]First is the ELKE. While a combination of an unmanned turret and a light hull might seem unremarkable first, it is anything but. The most important part of the vehicle is, of course, its ability to depress and elevate its gun using a complex system. Here you can see it in action. The vehicle boasts -25/+20 depression and elevation angles.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]And then there is the incredibly powerful (for its Tier) 75mm gun that is basically a crossbreed between a regular gun and an autocannon. Indeed, it is capable of automatic fire:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]This light tank will be capable of tremendous speed but it will also allow you to ambush your enemies while taking cover behind a hill thanks to that elevated gun. What will be your tactic of choice? You decide.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The RDF/LT Ares is somewhat similar to the ELKE, but instead of focusing on the gun (which remains awesome despite being a Tier higher), it adds guided missiles to the equation. The regular missiles are nothing to scoff at, but the high-explosive Stinger missiles are devastating.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Fast and deadly, the Ares will decimate all opposition of played correctly.[/p][p]And last but not least, we have the XM1302 on the top Tier. Here, the highlight of the tank (aside from its firepower and mobility) will be its new ability, “Mitigation” – this ability allows the vehicle to take reduced damage when moving fast, as demonstrated below:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]We aim to make the XM1302 one of the most powerful vehicles of Armored Warfare thanks to its combination of a rapid-firing cannon and great mobility. This vehicle will be perfect for players who prefer not to stand still, but instead dart around the battlefield, aiding their allies or even single handedly decimating whole squads of enemies in a relentless assault.[/p][p]And that’s about it, commanders, now you know everything about the next Battle Path. Well... almost everything, as we have one or two surprises left for you. But for now, saddle up because the event is about to start and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]On July 6, the Summer Screenshot contest has ended. In this contest, we asked you to make summer-themed screenshots and submit them to our dedicated Discord channel. First and foremost, we’d like to thank you all for participating – you created some wonderful screenshots and it was a tough choice, picking the best five of them.[/p][p]Nevertheless, it’s something that had to be done and today, we are presenting you the five best images, whose authors won Rough Riders Battle Path access.

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]

• [p]Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank[/p]
• [p]ZUBR PSP Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer[/p]
• [p]BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
• [p]Shadow Protocol Loot Crate (final offer)[/p]

[p]Between July 17 and July 22, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]Object 490[/h2][p][/p][p]The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.[/p][p]The Object 490 MBT 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]Object 640[/h2][p][/p][p]The Object 640 is one of the last Soviet era “super tank” monsters, designed to surpass anything the west could field on the battlefield. It featured extremely advanced armor, making it highly resistant to hits while keeping its weight low. The design was truly revolutionary for the late 1980s, but, like with many other Soviet projects of the era, it was discontinued due to the lack of funding. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Object 640 “Black Eagle” is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is a fast, agile and well-protected vehicle that plays in a typical Russian-style MBT fashion – ideal for players who want to take things up close and personal. This version of the tank does not feature any camouflage and is ready to be customized as you see fit.[/p][p]The Object 640 Tier 10 Premium MBT 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]M-95 Degman[/h2][p][/p][p]The M-95 Degman is an advanced Croatian prototype MBT, developed during the 1990s and 2000s. It is based on the previous Yugoslavian project, the Vihor MBT, which in turn has its roots in the improved T-72M series produced in former Yugoslavia. You can read more about its history in a dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the tank is relatively fast and fairly agile while carrying some potent firepower for its Tier. In fact, its owners can choose from two powerful guns:[/p]

• [p]125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun, known from many Russian MBTs[/p]
• [p]120mm CTG NATO-style smoothbore gun that you know from the Challenger 1 Falcon MBT[/p]

[p]It’s worth noting that the 120mm shells have higher penetration values and the gun can also fire Falarick ATGMs while the 125mm gun has higher damage per shot. Both guns will feature good handling as well as overall performance to offset the vehicle’s weakness, which is its mediocre armor. The Degman must rely on its mobility and firepower to survive, making it an ideal vehicle for aggressive, daring players.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]ZUBR PSP[/h2][p][/p][p]The ZUBR was a Czech privately-funded project by PSP Bohemia from the 1990s to develop a successor platform to the aging Soviet-era BMP-series IFVs and various other obsolete specialized vehicles. Even though it was quite advanced for its time, it was ultimately unsuccessful due to the end of the Cold War and the subsequent cuts in European military budgets, including the Czech one. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the ZUBR PSP is a Tier 7 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it fairly unique is the fact that you can choose from two different weapon systems for this vehicle:[/p]

• [p]Cockerill CT-CV turret with 105mm gun[/p]
• [p]Four-barreled TOW ATGM launcher[/p]

[p]Each of these weapons changes the gameplay style of the vehicle considerably and it is up to you, how you configure this powerful machine.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BWP-2000[/h2][p][/p][p]The BWP-2000 IFV was a Polish attempt from the mid-1990s to develop a replacement for the license-produced BMP-1 in the Polish military, since it was getting obsolete by that point. Its protracted development led to its cancellation at the onset of War on Terror, leaving Poland without a modern tracked IFV to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the BWP-2000 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle armed with 60mm cannon as well as a set of ATGM launchers. When it comes to AFV playstyle, the BWP-2000 is definitely more of an infantry carrier and fire support vehicle than a scout due to its large size and powerful armament as well as the ability to deploy Mechanized Infantry. It can take quite a bit of punishment and deal it in equal measure.[/p][p]This bundle is available in our Web Shop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Shadow Protocol Loot Crate[/h2][p][/p][p]The Shadow Protocol Loot Crate is now available. This Loot Crate contains Shadow Protocol Battle Coins and Boosters.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

• [p]Battle Coins are the primary currency of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path campaign and are used to progress through it and to obtain its prizes.[/p]
• [p]Battle Coin Boosters are usable only during an active Battle Path and increase your Battle Coin income by 900 percent for two hours.[/p]

[p]Please note that you have to obtain the access to a Battle Path to use both items.[/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]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:[/p]

• [p]Puma Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]
• [p]Boxer RIWP Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle[/p]

[p]Between July 15, 2025 and July 22, 2025, the following items will be available:[/p][p][/p][h2]Puma[/h2][p][/p][p]The Puma is the principal IFV of the Bundeswehr and one of the most modern vehicles in its category in the world. While expensive, it features nearly unparalleled situational awareness and protection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Puma is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. The Puma doesn’t feature any special or situational features. It’s simply one of the best performing infantry carriers out there, laying down fire with its 30mm autocannon and guided missiles.[/p][p]The Puma Tier 10 Premium AFV 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]Boxer RIWP[/h2][p][/p][p]The Boxer RIWP is a combination of a Tracked Boxer hull and a modular turret called RIWP. Both components are fairly new and haven’t been officially combined as of now but the Boxer platform can theoretically support this weapon system. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.[/p][p][/p][p]In Armored Warfare, the Boxer RIWP is a Tier 10 Premium AFV that’s unique for one reason – it offers five fairly distinctive weapon configurations along with a reliable autocannon capable of quickly dealing with lighter targets. It can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.[/p][p]The Boxer RIWP Tier 10 Premium AFV 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]
