  • Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Object 195 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank

  • BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Battle Path Boosters


Between April 30 and May 7 2025, the following items will be available:

[h3]Object 490[/h3]

The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.

The Object 490 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

[h3]Object 195[/h3]

The Object 195 Main Battle Tank is one of the 1980s Soviet supertanks, intended to fight the next generation of NATO MBTs. It was developed in Nizhny Tagil by the experienced Uralvagonzavod design bureau (UKBTM), which was responsible for such legendary tanks as the T-72 and T-90. Much like other such prototypes, it was designed to be armed with massive 152mm smoothbore cannon in an unmanned turret. A single prototype was built and it allegedly passed state trials between 2008 and 2010 but the project was discontinued due to a lack of financing. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 195 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most versatile vehicles you can get your hands on thanks to a combination of excellent armor, unmanned turret, 152mm hard-hitting gun and one special feature – the coaxial 30mm autocannon that allows you to take out unarmored targets without having to waste a shot of your main weapon.

The Object 195 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

[h3]Object 640[/h3]

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.

[h3]M-95 Degman[/h3]

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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



[h3]ZUBR PSP[/h3]

The ZUBR was a Czech privately-funded project by PSP Bohemia from the 1990s to develop a successor platform to the aging Soviet-era BMP-series IFVs and various other obsolete specialized vehicles. Even though it was quite advanced for its time, it was ultimately unsuccessful due to the end of the Cold War and the subsequent cuts in European military budgets, including the Czech one. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



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:

  • Cockerill CT-CV turret with 105mm gun
  • 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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.


[h3]BWP-2000[/h3]

The BWP-2000 IFV was a Polish attempt from the mid-1990s to develop a replacement for the license-produced BMP-1 in the Polish military, since it was getting obsolete by that point. Its protracted development led to its cancellation at the onset of War on Terror, leaving Poland without a modern tracked IFV to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BWP-2000 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle armed with 60mm cannon as well as a set of ATGM launchers. When it comes to AFV playstyle, the BWP-2000 is definitely more of an infantry carrier and fire support vehicle than a scout due to its large size and powerful armament as well as the ability to deploy Mechanized Infantry. It can take quite a bit of punishment and deal it in equal measure.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.


[h3]Shadow Protocol Boosters[/h3]

Historical Skins – T-90M Liberator

Commanders!

For the celebrations of the end of the Second World War, we have prepared for you several new items, starting with the T-90M skin called Liberator.



This skin was inspired by the final large battle of the European theater of war, the Battle of Berlin. Despite taking place right at the end of the war and taking mere two weeks, this single battle took the lives of up to two hundred thousand soldiers on both sides with nearly half a million troops wounded and over one hundred thousand civilians perishing in the conflict.



Truly it was a testament to the nearly incomprehensible brutality of war and the bravery of Soviet troops who went on to conquer this final bastion of Nazi resistance. The T-90M Main Battle Tank takes on the appearance inspired by the heavy IS-2 tanks from this battle and bears the insignia of the 7th Guards Independent Heavy Tank Brigade – the famous polar bear crossing a red star and white stripes covering its front and turret.



The steel surface of the tank was also modified to resemble the late war Soviet tanks but that’s not all the skin offers. Aside from looking pretty, equipping the skin unlocks the top module configuration of this tank that otherwise requires you to complete Battle Path missions.



But that’s not all we have for you. For this year’s camouflage, we took inspiration from the “other side”, for what would heroic deeds of victory be without worthy enemies?

The Zimmerit camouflage makes your vehicle look as if it is covered by the eponymous coating that prevented the attachment of magnetic mines to German tanks. While its real-life use was somewhat controversial (some say the Zimmerit layer was not useful at all), it did produce the iconic late war look of German panzers.



And last but not least, we have three decals for you:

  • Emblem of the 7th Guards Independent Heavy Tank Brigade (as a decal)
  • U.S. Army Star (the version used during the Normandy landings)
  • Lorraine Cross (symbol of the French resistance)


We hope that you will enjoy these new items and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Coming Soon: Thunder Run

Commanders!

For the majority of this May, we’ve prepared a special event for you. But what’s the theme of it, you ask? As it name suggests, it’s the Thunder Runs, or, more broadly, the involvement of the U.S. Army in Iraq, from Operation Desert Storm to the Iraq War.

You’ll be earning plenty of American-themed prizes, including some legendary skins because in this event, we’re giving you a chance to earn some of the previously released theme-appropriate content that you might have missed out on, including a number of legendary skins, camouflages and decals:
