Camouflage Loot Crate now available

Commanders!

Today, we’re launching another Camouflage Loot Crate on MY.GAMES Market.



As its name suggests, this new Loot Crate, available until April 8, 2021 (along with the other weekly offer), contains various camouflages and skins.

This iteration contains the following ones (click on their names where designated to learn of their real life background):


The mechanics are very simple. Each crate allows you to win one of the listed items (or its value in Gold if you have it already, in this case 1.000 Gold per camouflage).



To learn more about what's in a chest simply click on it, this will launch a small pop up window to show you what’s inside. You will find everything from in-game currency packs to consumables and exclusive skins that can only be found in these chests!

Please note:

After opening the crate, you will immediately roll on one of the items that are inside this Loot Crate and will see what you receive before you have to actually pay anything. No more random chances – you immediately see what you get and what you don’t. You can then opt to purchase the item you rolled on for the Loot Crate’s price. Until you do so, you will be unable to buy any other Loot Crate of the same type.

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

See you on the battlefield!

The Realistic Battle Mode is here!

Commanders!

As you already know, on April 1, we generally don’t publish any non-serious content or change the game in a silly way, since we believe this to be a bit of a waste of resources and, quite frankly, given what’s happening in the world currently, few of us are in a joking mood. However, nobody says things can’t get interesting. For this year’s April Fool’s Day, we’ve prepared a special mode called Realistic Battles.



This 15 versus 15 PvP mode will allow you to experience Armored Warfare without the spotting system.

Simply put, all targets will be constantly visible and the rendering distance will be increased to 2 kilometers. At the same time, all spotting UI components (most notably, enemy vehicle silhouettes and markers) will be disabled and you’ll have to do without the penetration indicator as well. You will only see your allies on the minimap, not your enemies.

In other words, you’ll have to rely on your eyesight only to acquire the targets. No camouflage or spotting mechanisms will function, which means that various camouflage- and spotting-related abilities, skills and modules will not function in this mode. Auto-aiming and other target tracking abilities will not function either. Additionally, we’ll be disabling some specific abilities that could break the mode completely. These include Ophelia Kitescu's and Alisa Korhonen's main abilities.

Now, if you’re worried about the impact of this mode on your statistics, don’t be. It will be a separate mode with its own queue and will not affect your player statistics in any way. At the same time, this mode will not work for the completion of Contract Missions.

Camouflage-wise, since the vehicles will only be possible to track visually, we strongly recommend using green, brown and grey patterns for each respective environment. As you can imagine, a red base paint or a skin that makes the tank look like it is on fire will make it really easy for your enemies to see you. Then again, maybe that’s exactly the effect what you’re going for!

In summation:
  • Spotting and camouflage mechanics are disabled
  • All vehicles are constantly rendered within the radius of 2000 meters from your vehicle
  • All spotting and tracking UI elements are disabled
  • Spotting and camouflage skills and retrofits are disabled
  • Only allies are shown on the minimap
  • Penetration indicator is disabled
  • Commander Ophelia Kitescu's and Alisa Korhonen's special abilities are disabled
  • Battle does not count towards Contract Mission progress
  • Battle does not count towards player statistics

The mode will be available for a limited time only (15 minutes per hour) and only for Tiers 7 to 10. For the sake of gameplay, the following vehicles will be excluded from it: SBS Pindad, Object 490, Leclerc T40, K-153C, RST-V Shadow and AS21.

There are three new achievements tied to it (with their own rewards) and we encourage you to complete them as soon as possible – once the mode gets retired, there’s no guarantee it’s ever coming back.

We hope that you’ll enjoy this mode as an entertaining diversion and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
