Commanders!

This month, we’re launching another series of special Loot Crates in MY.GAMES Market that offer you a chance to win some of the most coveted vehicles in the game.



These crates are:

• Asian-themed (with Type 99A2-140, QN-506, K21, Type 90, WZ-1224, camouflages and other goodies)
• Eastern-themed (with Armata 152, T-72B3, BMPT Mod.2017, Object 187, Object 279, camouflages and other goodies)
• Western-themed (with Altay, Abrams AGDS, Leopard Revolution, Marder 2, Chieftain Mk.11, American camouflages and other goodies)

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). 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!

Commanders!

We are aware of the May 29 Steam access issues and are working on a solution. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will inform you once we have a solution.

Thank you for your patience.

Commanders!

The Enigma’s Legacy Battle Path is right around the corner and we’ve watched you discuss its mechanics and rewards, propose suggestions and voice your opinions. In today’s community survey, we’d like to focus on one specific aspect of Battle Path campaigns – their rewards.



Some players join for the challenge, some players join for the loot and some players join for the fun of things – but everyone loves rewards. Enigma’s Legacy offers plenty:

• New unique vehicles
• New skins
• Premium Time
• Gold
• Credits
• Decals, avatars and flags
• Camouflages

And much more. Now, we’re pretty sure you aren’t joining for the decals, as cool-looking as they are.

In this survey, we’ll be focusing on what you like the most and the least of the more substantial rewards. What is your primary reward motivation? What is your secondary one? Let us know in this survey:



Thank you for feedback and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today, we’d like to tell you more about an upcoming Russian historical camouflage belonging to the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya order of Lenin Red Banner Tank Division or, in short, the Kantemirovskaya Division.



Much like the Tamanskaya Division, the Kantemirovskaya Divison is a Guards unit and an elite force in the Russian army with its roots reaching back all the way to the Second World War. In January 1943, the 17th Tank Corps was renamed to 4th Tank Corps, receiving the honor name “Kantemirovsky” after the town of Kantemirovka, which it liberated from Germans during one of the earliest battles it participated in.

The corps fought at Kursk and continued westwards into Ukraine with its separate regiments earning the honor names of “Shepetovsky”, “Zhitomirsky” and others after the cities they had fought in. The unit would then fight in Poland (including Krakow) and ended the war in Prague with one of the final offensives of the war. Shortly after the end of the war in Europe, the corps was renamed to the 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division and was permanently stationed in Naro-Fominsk, a town to the south-west of Moscow.



During the Cold War, the division underwent a number of internal changes but served mostly as Moscow’s protector, which meant that it was spared the horrors of the war in Afghanistan and other deployments. It briefly became famous in 1991 by participating in the Soviet hard-liner attempt to overthrow Boris Yeltsin and, two years later, in the 1993 Russian Constitutional Crisis on Boris Yeltsin’s side (even though the tanks that had fired on the Moscow White House belonged to the Tamanskaya division).



After these dramatic events, the unit kept its integrity for the most part, participated in several peacekeeping operations (Kosovo, South Ossetia) and fought in both Chechen wars as well. In 2009, it was disbanded and turned into two armored brigades before reforming four years later, in 2013, as a part of the effort of Vladimir Putin to bring back old and famous Soviet units to life in order to maintain the sense of historical continuity. Interestingly enough, the Tamanskaya Division shared the same fate – it was disbanded only to be revived shortly afterwards.



At this moment, the Kantemirovskaya Division includes two tank regiments:

• 12th Guards Shepetovsky Tank Regiment
• 13th Guards Shepetovsky Tank Regiment

Unlike Tamanskaya’s T-90s, these regiments are armed with the T-80 series MBT. The exact composition and numbers are unknown – the main version seems to be the T-80U, although the division also operates some T-80BV models and is rumored to have acquired the newest T-80BVM model as well. The camouflage typical for these tanks includes light ochre, green and black stripes in various sizes.



The Kantemirovskaya camouflage (available for all vehicles) will be available in the near future along with other insignia, such as a Kantemirovskaya division decal, Guards decal and Shepetovsky regiment decal.

We do hope you’ll enjoy it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield
