Commanders!

Armored Warfare features two types of vehicles – regular progression vehicles available for Experience and Credits, and Premium vehicles (with increased Credit income) that are available for Gold or by other means.



These other means include:

• Battle Paths (example: Object 195)
• Raids (example: T-72M1)
• Blueprint Loot Crates (example: Armata 152)
• Contracts (example: TAM 2IP)
• Events (example: M60A3 SLEP)
• Direct Sales (example: M1A1 AIM)
• Battalion activities (Hades series)

However, Armored Warfare currently has a problem you’ve been asking about for a while now. The Premium vehicles that are not available directly in the game for Gold are not assigned to any particular dealer, which means they cannot be used for various in-game missions that feature dealer requirements (these typically appear during Raids or Battle Paths).

In one of future updates, we want to remedy this situation and will therefore be assigning the previously dealer-less Premium vehicles to specific dealers as follows:

Sorted by Tier, descending order.

Just to be clear, this does not mean they will all become available for Gold or become progression vehicles. They will retain their status; the only major change is that they will become available for missions with dealer requirements.

Do you feel some of these vehicles belong to other dealers? Let us know on Discord. We’re open to your feedback!

Please note:

• While the abovementioned vehicles will be associated with a specific dealer, they will not appear in that dealer’s tech tree
• It will be possible to filter these vehicles out using standard Dealer filters in your Garage, but we’ll also add a new filter option for this specific Premium vehicle type
• These vehicles will not work for dealer-specific achievements

And last but not least, let us discuss the new icon made specifically for the abovementioned vehicles as well as some changes to the existing vehicle class logic. Vehicle icon now consists of the following elements:

• Class symbol (silver for progression, golden for Premium vehicles)
• Golden laurel wreath for fully unlocked vehicles (automatically assigned to Premium vehicles)
• Silver star for Premium vehicles that are not available for Gold within the tech tree (eg. the abovementioned list)

As such, a fully unlocked progression vehicle will feature a silver class symbol with a wreath. A vehicle available for Gold within the tech tree will feature a golden class symbol with a wreath and these special Premium vehicles not available for Gold will feature all three symbols together (golden class symbol, wreath and the silver star).

We hope that you’ll find this change to your liking and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

It’s been a while since we added a new PvP map, but the time has come to welcome another new battlefield in Armored Warfare – Carson City!



Despite its name, this charming small town knew little of true city bustle until a newly-built interstate highway skirted its territory. It became a major transportation hub practically overnight, attracting first the attention of major corporations and subsequently various armed groups eager to take control of it and with it the traffic flow from the east to the West Coast.



The bases on this map are located in the south-western and north-eastern corners and the whole Nevada-based map can be split into three areas.



The south-east is occupied by the Carson City itself. A labyrinth of streets awaits you with a lot of cover, but also some flanking opportunities. Is a group of MBTs holding a particular position? Go around the block in order to appear right behind them. Situational awareness will play a key role in this area because you’ll never know what awaits you around the corner.



Moving north, the center of the map is filled with a large lake with a small island in the middle of it. You can get there of course and if you do, you’ll be able to fire pretty much all across the map. This area will be suitable for fast vehicles such as Light Tanks and Tank Destroyers as the MBTs trying to go there or around the island will be slowed by the lake’s water significantly.



And last but not least, the north is walled off from the rest of the map by a group of cliffs, making the area a long, wide mountain corridor for heavily armored MBTs to push through. There’s also a narrow path leading around the lake to the north where lighter, smaller vehicles can slip through.



This map will be available in the Standard mode (two bases) as well as the Encounter mode. In the Encounter mode, a single base will be located on the island in the middle.

We hope that you will enjoy the map and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

The Wars of the Past Battle Path is coming in the near future and with it several vehicles from former Warsaw Pact countries, including the T-72M4CZ and the TR-85M1. In this offer, we’ve prepared several special bundles for you with some items that will make them (as well as other vehicles in the game) look even better:

• Czech bundle with a real-life Czech camouflage and the Czech military crest decal
• Slovak bundle with a real-life base paint and the Slovak military crest decal
• Czechoslovak bundle, combining the items from both
• Romanian bundle with a real-life Romanian camouflage and the Romanian roundel decal

Between December 2 and December 9, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]Czech Bundle[/h2]


Three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic is a NATO country with its own rather unique set of military vehicles including the T-72M4CZ MBT, the T-72M1 as well as the older BMP series of infantry fighting vehicles. Armored Warfare contains multiple Czech vehicles and this bundle is perfect for anyone looking to improve their appearance.



The bundle consists of:

• Czech modern camouflage (read more)
• Czech Military Crest decal
• Warsaw Pact khaki base paint
• Czech Flag banner
• Czech Flag decal
• Player title “Hussite”

[h2]Slovak Bundle[/h2]


Slovakia, the Czech Republic’s eastern sibling, has a small but relatively potent military with several, typically older, armored vehicle types. After the 1993 split from Czechoslovakia, it went its own way. Even today, its long tradition of armor manufacturing allows it to develop new armor types – mostly artillery pieces.



The bundle consists of:

• Warsaw Pact khaki base paint
• Slovak Military Crest decal
• Slovak Flag banner
• Slovak Flag decal
• Player title “Jánošík”

[h2]Czechoslovak Bundle[/h2]


Before its 1993 split, Czechoslovakia was an industrial powerhouse. Founded in 1918, it inherited much of the former Austro-Hungarian industrial base and quickly became a prominent arms manufacturer and exporter. During the Second World War, many quality weapons used by Germany were manufactured in the Protectorate and the heavy industry tradition prevailed until 1989 with thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of other armored vehicles built for the Warsaw Pact.



The bundle consists of:

• Czech modern camouflage read more
• Warsaw Pact khaki base paint
• Czech Roundel decal
• Slovak Military Crest decal
• Player title “Hussite”
• Player title “Jánošík”

[h2]Romanian Bundle[/h2]


Romania has never been known for its industrial base, but its military prowess and the bravery of its troops has always been beyond any doubt. Despite its rather poor armament, the Army of Romania remains a stalwart defender of the NATO’s south-east border.



The bundle consists of:

• Romanian camouflage (read more)
• Romanian Roundel decal
• Romanian Flag banner
• Romanian Flag decal
• Player title “Impaler”

We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
