This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Elite Commanders
  • BM Oplot Tier 9 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank

  • Premium Time
  • Battle Coins
Between December 24 and December 31, 2020, 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.

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 MBT is available:
  • In our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle
  • In a Total Destruction bundle on MY.GAMES Market

The Altay Total Destruction bundle contains the following items:
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium MBT
  • Commander Ophelia Kitescu
  • 30 days of Premium Time
  • 9.000 Gold






[h2]Elite Commanders[/h2]


Some of the most popular and requested commanders are making a comeback in bundles together with Insignia and Boost tokens chosen specifically to allow for their faster training.



The commanders available are:
  • Alexander Cortez
  • Alisa Korhonen
  • Erin O’Connell
  • Austin Harper
  • Ophelia Kitescu

Please note that these bundles come with special Platinum Armored Warfare boost tokens, the best progress boosters available in the game. You can read more about them in our dedicated article.

As for the commanders themselves, this guide will provide you with useful tips on how to configure their skills.


[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.

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]M-95 Degman[/h2]


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.



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:
  • 125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun, known from many Russian MBTs
  • 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]MT-LB S8[/h2]


The MT-LB S8 (also called Strela-10 RSZO) was unveiled only recently as the means for Ukraine to combine two items they did not need by themselves in order to use them effectively during the Civil War. The first one, not quite useful to the Ukrainians by itself, is the Strela-10 self-propelled SAM – its deployment is quite limited due to the fact that the separatist forces do not have any air force. The second item is an aircraft or helicopter rocket pod that is used to fire 80mm S-8 unguided rockets. Together, they form an ad-hoc rocket launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the MT-LB S8 is a unique Tier 6 Armored Fighting Vehicle. What makes it stand out? Its armament, of course. This AFV does not have a lot of armor, nor is it incredibly fast, but it can fire its two full rocket pods (each has 20 rockets) within 30 seconds or less. The rockets have HEAT-MP projectiles and are absolutely deadly against practically any target, but especially against those without composite armor. On the downside, the rockets are unguided and quite inaccurate. This vehicle is not for the faint of heart!

This Christmas, we are once again enabling the Christmas Garage and the special Holiday Mode! A squad of snowmen took a magical sleigh and is dropping tree decorations over the village! Help Grandfather Frost gather the decorations and put them on the tree! Tree decorations will spawn across the map and it’s your and your team’s duty to pick each one up and bring it back to your base. But beware – evil Grinch-driven armored vehicles will stop at nothing to steal them from you, ruining your holidays!



There are new achievements in the mode, don’t miss them!

Rules
 
  • The holiday mode can be selected in the Garage in the mode menu
  • The match generally follows the rules of Global Operations with both sides having a number of points
  • Capturing and bringing home the decorations resembles a Capture the Flag mode, each capture reduces enemy’s pool of points
  • The first time a decoration spawns, it will always be in the center of the map, the rest of the spawns are random
  • Player who captures a decoration will be clearly identified by an icon and visible on the minimap
  • Destroying a vehicle carrying the decoration will cause the decoration to drop to the ground and become available for capture by someone else
  • A new decoration spawns every 90 seconds
  • It’s necessary to capture 5 decorations to win a match
  • The match is played in 10v10 format and lasts 15 minutes

 
Please note: the mode is only available for 15 minutes once per hour.

Don’t also forget to pick up the last gifts from the Breath of Winter as well as the Winter Resupply gift!

We hope that you will enjoy these winter holidays with Armored Warfare and will see you on the battlefield!
