This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:

• Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
• BMPT Mod.2000 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Leopard Revolution Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Marder 2 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• ASCOD LT-105 Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
• Battle Coins

Between December 23 and December 30, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]Object 640[/h2]


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.



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.

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.






[h2]BMPT Mod.2000[/h2]


The BMPT Mod.2000 is, as its name suggests, one of the earliest models of the famous Russian BMPT series, also known under the name “Terminator.” The word BMPT stands for “tank support combat vehicle,” which is exactly what the machine was designed for – to accompany tanks to battle and support them (predominantly in urban environments) against enemy infantry. It consists of a MBT-class hull (a modified T-90 one) and an unmanned turret, armed with a single 30mm automatic cannon and a single four-tube launcher for Kornet-E ATGMs. This particular model was shown to general public in 2000, but didn’t get much attention. It was overhauled almost immediately to the iconic twin-autocannon configuration that’s being used to this day.



In Armored Warfare, the BMPT Mod.2000 is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s a heavy duty vehicle with its hull offering excellent protection for its class. The turret, albeit lightly armored, only takes reduced damage. Even though this vehicle only features a single 30mm autocannon (unlike all the other BMPT series vehicles in the game), this is compensated by the presence of powerful ATGMs that make the BMPT Mod.2000 an extremely potent tank killer.






[h2]Leclerc T40[/h2]


Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.






[h2]Leopard 2 Revolution[/h2]


The Leopard 2 Revolution is a continuation of the older Evolution upgrade, intended to improve the performance of the older variants of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank in order to make it excel even on the battlefields of the 21st century. The improvements include a comprehensive armor upgrade, ROSY soft-kill APS and smoke grenade launchers as well as an entire suite of cutting edge electronics. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Leopard 2 Revolution is a Tier 8 Main Battle Tank. It is not only well-armored, it also features an extremely accurate 120mm gun with advanced ammunition, allowing it to destroy its opponents at very long ranges, rivaling those of Tank Destroyers. The German tanks in general perform best at longer ranges and the Revolution is no exception.






[h2]Marder 2[/h2]


The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.






[h2]ASCOD LT-105[/h2]


If there was a word best describing the ASCOD platform, it would be the word “international”. It was developed by the Austrians and the Spanish, adopted by the British and available with a wide range of turrets. The joint project from 1988 eventually led to a number of vehicles using the ASCOD platform, the two best-known results of which are the Austrian Ulan IFV and the Spanish Pizarro IFV. The ASCOD LT-105 was a fire support variant of the platform, offered with pretty much any turret a customer would like, including those from B1 Centauro, M1128 MGS or even a South-African one by Denel. However, after two decades of not having to found any customers, the project was terminated and by 2015-2016, it was removed from all official offers. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ASCOD LT-105 is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank. It is fairly unique in one aspect. It is possible to select one of the two turrets: the manned Denel turret with the GT7 gun or the Low-Profile Turret by General Dynamics with the M68 gun, known from the M1128. The first turret has better kinetic shells but fires in a normal manner, while the latter has a clip-style autoloader, balanced by worse overall characteristics of the gun.






[h2]Battle Coins[/h2]

Commanders!

Another series of new Steam DLC bundles is now available. We've prepared the following bundles for you:

 
[h2]Tier 6 Bundle: VFM Mk.5 (15% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the VFM Mk.5 Premium LT and 3 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the VFM Mk.5 is an excellent Tier 6 Light Tank. One of the first premium vehicles introduced to the game, time has only enhanced its battlefield value. It is fast, agile and perfect representative of the Light Tank flanking play style.

 
[h2]Tier 6 Bundle: XM1 (15% off)[/h2]
 

This bundle contains the XM1 Premium MBT and 3 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the XM1 is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. Our XM1 is based on the General Motors XM1 Abrams prototype, allowing the players to experience the might of the arguably superior vehicle. While devoid of significant advantages, this Main Battle Tank has no serious drawbacks, making it very suitable for new players.

 
[h2]Tier 7 Bundle: ZUBR PSP (25% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the ZUBR PSP Premium TD, 5 Gold Loot Crates and 7 days of Premium Time. 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 - the Cockerill CT-CV turret with 105mm gun and a four-barreled TOW ATGM launcher. Each of these weapons changes the gameplay style of the vehicle considerably and it is up to you, how you configure this powerful machine.

 
[h2]Tier 8 Bundle: ASCOD LT-105 (25% off)[/h2]
 
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

This bundle contains the ASCOD LT-105 Premium LT, 1.000 Gold and 7 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the ASCOD LT-105 is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank. It is fairly unique in one aspect. It is possible to select one of the two turrets: the manned Denel turret with the GT7 gun or the Low-Profile Turret by General Dynamics with the M68 gun, known from the M1128. The first turret has better kinetic shells but fires in a normal manner, while the latter has a clip-style autoloader, balanced by worse overall characteristics of the gun.

 
[h2]Tier 8 Bundle: M-95 Degman (25% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the M-95 Degman Premium MBT, 1.000 Gold and 7 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the M-95 Degman Tier 8 MBT is relatively fast and fairly agile while carrying some potent firepower for its Tier. In fact, its owners can choose from two powerful guns – the 125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun known from many Russian MBTs, and the 120mm CTG NATO-style smoothbore gun that you know from the Challenger 1 Falcon MBT. 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.

 
[h2]Tier 8 Bundle: Stalker (25% off)[/h2]
 
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

This bundle contains the Stalker AFV, 1.000 Gold and 7 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the Stalker is a relatively fragile Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle with good camouflage, excellent viewrange and great mobility. As such, it’s capable of both active spotting (moving in front of your team to spot enemies and retreating upon contact) and passive spotting (finding a good position with cover and staying there, not drawing attention to yourself). In combat, the Stalker will be able to set up ambushes and deal with enemy active scouts rather effectively, but head to head combat with MBTs is definitely not advised, the Stalker does not carry enough firepower or armor to be successful in that regard.

 
[h2]Tier 8 Bundle: Type 96B (25% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the Type 96B MBT, 1.000 Gold and 7 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the Type 96B is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it’s very agile and fast for its class and uses advanced ammunition, making it highly suitable for players who prefer mobility over armor protection, even though it can take a lot of punishment as well.

 
[h2]Tier 8 Bundle: AMX 10 RCR (25% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the AMX 10 RCR TD, 1.000 Gold and 7 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.

 
[h2]Tier 9 Bundle: Oplot (10% off)[/h2]
 

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

This bundle contains the BM Oplot MBT, 5 Platinum Loot Crates, 1.000 Gold and 14 days of Premium Time.In Armored Warfare, the BM Oplot is a Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank with a playstyle similar to the T-80U. Power-wise, it’s roughly on par with the T-90MS of the same Tier, but it has a very unique ability. Its advanced Duplet armor consists of several ERA layers, making it able to negate more than one HEAT shell impact. It takes several precise hits aimed at the same location to break through it, making it a very resistant vehicle on the battlefield.

 
[h2]Tier 9 Bundle: Leclerc (10% off)[/h2]
 



This bundle contains the Leclerc T40 TD, 5 Platinum Loot Crates, 1.000 Gold and 14 days of Premium Time. In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer.

Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.
