Celebrating Greek Independence

Commanders!

Today, Greece is celebrating a major anniversary of the beginning of its struggle for independence. While Greece gained its independence only in 1829, the original struggle against Turkish oppression began in 1821, exactly 200 years ago.



To celebrate the occasion, we’ve prepared a 30% Commander XP income bonus and a gift for you, which includes:
  • Greek flag decal
  • Greek flag banner
  • 1 day of Premium Time

The gift is obtainable until March 28 via the MY.GAMES Market.

Additionally, we’ve prepared a special bundle with two Greek camouflages.



The two Greek camouflages are based on the pattern often seen on Greek Leopard 2s – be it the older Leopard 2A4 MBTs or the new Leopard 2A6 HEL MBTs. Following the intensive 1998 trials in which the Leopard 2A6 did beat its competitors (including the Challenger 2E, Oplot, Leclerc, T-80U and Abrams), the Hellenic Army acquired some 170 Leopard 2A6 HEL tanks from Germany. These were partially built in Greece as a part of an offset deal and included some smaller modifications compared to their German counterparts, including a link to the Greek battlefield communications and management system.



The deal was closed in 2003 and completed between 2006 and 2009 – interestingly enough, this was the first deal for the Greeks in decades where Greece would receive newly-built weapons instead of military surplus. In 2005, Greece acquired (amongst other things) some 180 older Leopard 2A4s to complement the Leopard 2A6 batch. The Greek Leopard 2s can be usually seen carrying two types of four-color camouflage – a green/black/dark brown/light brown one and a green/black/orange/light grey one. Suitable Armored Warfare vehicles carrying it historically are the Leopard 2 and the Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tanks.



These camouflages can be used in all three environments and can be installed on any vehicle that allows for visual customization.

 

We hope that you’ll enjoy the gift and the offer and, to our Greek players:

Happy independence anniversary!

Offer: Main Battle Tanks

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • CATTB Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • BM Oplot Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • T-72B3 Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Object 187 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between March 25 and April 1, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]Altay[/h2]


The Altay is the result of a Turkish program to build a true indigenous MBT. After a decade of development with hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Turkey finally achieved its goal and built a tank that is roughly on par in performance with decades-old Leopard 2 variants while it still uses many foreign components, including some of its most critical systems. Nevertheless, future Altay variants are expected to feature some cutting edge components.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the Altay is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank based on the current prototypes, but also upgraded by various hypothetical aftermarket components of the future to surpass its current capabilities and to match its assigned Tier in power. The basic tank is – gameplay-wise – a mobile sniper, much like the Leopard 2 series, relying on its mobility and the penetration of its shells rather than on its armor. There are two key features to this tank: Adjustable Suspension (tilting forward and to the side) and Hybrid Engine with its distinctive electric sound, giving the vehicle excellent mobility and agility.

The Altay 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]CATTB[/h2]


The CATTB Main Battle Tank was an experimental platform, developed as one of the early steps in the creation of a next generation Abrams Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Block III Abrams, or M1A3. It was created in the 1980s as a response to the perceived threat of future Soviet super tanks and featured some truly advanced components, such as the XM291 dual caliber cannon that could switch between 120mm and 140mm calibers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the development of this tank became unnecessary and the program was canceled in the 1990s. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the CATTB is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most powerful and versatile MBTs around, devastating its opponents with its signature double-tap feature, allowing it to fire its cannon twice in short order. This allows it to drive around a corner, deal very high amounts of damage and then retreat back into cover, leaving the enemy reeling from the massive blow.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop CATTB parts. Collect 100 CATTB parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.






[h2]Armata 152[/h2]


The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate!

The Armata 152 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]BM Oplot[/h2]


The Oplot is a heavily upgraded T-84 Ukrainian Main Battle Tank, which is based on an older design called T-80UD. It is currently the best tank the Ukrainian military industry can offer. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

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]T-72B3[/h2]


The T-72B3 is the most modern Russian T-72 variant currently in service. It is a heavily upgraded version of the T-72B, featuring Kontakt-5 ERA kit and an improved Fire Control System. Together, these modifications allow the aging T-72 to serve well into the 21st century. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the T-72B3 is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. It continues the tradition of other Russian tanks. Its low silhouette, good mobility, powerful 125mm gun and its advanced ERA kit make it a formidable opponent. This version of the T-72B3 is offered without any camouflage.






[h2]Challenger 1 Falcon[/h2]


The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.






[h2]Object 187[/h2]


The Object 187 was a Soviet era program, developed to improve upon the excellent but ageing T-72 Main Battle Tank. Several prototypes were built, featuring a number of advanced elements compared to the older Soviet tanks, such as the new long 125mm smoothbore gun with a typical muzzle brake. The result was an excellent MBT that was, however, never mass-produced due to the 1990s Russian military budget cuts – the Russian army chose a less advanced but cheaper T-90 instead. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 187 is a typical Russian style Main Battle Tank – it’s suitable for an aggressive play style and is a good choice for the players who prefer to take on their opponents at close ranges.






[h2]Pile of Gold[/h2]

  • 250.000 Gold
