• Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• Elite Commanders
  

Between April 8 and April 10, 2025, the following items will be available:

[h3]Type 99B[/h3]

The Type 99B is a fictional improved version of the currently most modern Chinese Main Battle Tank. It was designed as a concept by the Chinese tank community some years ago and we used the concept as a basis for its introduction. However, our version bears significant differences, most notably the Red Arrow missile launcher on the roof. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ZTZ-20 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. On its own, it’s a beast of a machine and one of the most powerful vehicles in the game, featuring both a powerful gun and thick armor. It does have a special feature though – its missiles can cover a wide area with burning White Phosphorus that reduces enemy vehicle camouflage and deals damage to anyone entering the zone.

In Armored Warfare, the Type 99B is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is fast, agile, and capable of dealing tremendous damage over a short period of time thanks to its turret-mounted thermobaric missile launcher.

The Type 99B MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.



[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.



[h3]Challenger 2 Streetfighter II[/h3]

The Streetfighter II is an upgrade program to overhaul the venerable Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank for the conditions of modern battlefields, especially urban combat. It features a number of improvements and extra components, most notably a dozer blade, a Brimstone ATGM twin launcher and an advanced camera system by Elbit. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 2 Streetfighter is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Its main advantages include excellent frontal armor (enhanced by the presence of its dozer blade covering its lower frontal plate), increased ramming damage and long range lethality, courtesy of a powerful ATGM launcher. Whether you desire to bring the fighting up close or support other MBTs at distance, the Streetfighter’s got your back.

The Challenger 2 Streetfighter II Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

Commanders!

We’d like to inform you that the chain missions of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path are temporarily unavailable in order to apply a necessary fix that’s coming in near future.

Additionally, we are aware of an issue where some players may see some items in the Battle Path shop as impossible to purchase despite them not having it. We are working on that issue as well but could use your help. Here’s what you can do:

• Document the whole issue with the Battle Path Shop, ideally by recording a video
  
• Upload the video (for example on Google Drive or Youtube) and send the link to our Support Service

If you contact support with an item you would like to buy and can’t due to the abovementioned bug, we’ll send it to you and remove the Battle Coin price by hand. However, please note that a video is required for such an action.

Thank you for your understanding and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• ZTZ-20 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• Panzer 87-140 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• Type 96B Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• MBT-70 Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
  

Between April 3 and April 10, 2025, the following items will be available:

[h3]ZTZ-20[/h3]

The ZTZ-20 is a fictional Chinese Main Battle Tank for the 21st century. It combines western influences with some ideas taken from the T-14 Armata. You can read about its (real and fictional) history in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ZTZ-20 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. On its own, it’s a beast of a machine and one of the most powerful vehicles in the game, featuring both a powerful gun and thick armor. It does have a special feature though – its missiles can cover a wide area with burning White Phosphorus that reduces enemy vehicle camouflage and deals damage to anyone entering the zone.

The ZTZ-20 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.



[h3]Panzer 87-140[/h3]

The Panzer 87-140 is an experimental version of Panzer 87 (Swiss Leopard 2A4), fitted with a RUAG 140mm smoothbore cannon and an armor kit called WE. It was developed in the 1980s and early 1990s to counter the next generation of Soviet MBTs, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project was shelved, only to resurface around 2005-2006 but never passing the experimental stage. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Panzer 87-140 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. Much like other Leopard series MBTs, it’s a long-range fighter with an extremely powerful gun and the ability to fire with pinpoint accuracy. Even though its armor leaves much to be desired, at long range, this MBT has few equals and can be considered one of the best snipers of its class.

The Panzer 87-140 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]Type 96B[/h3]

The Type 96B MBT, as its name suggests, is an evolution of the Type 96A, featuring such elements as an upgraded fire control system and a much more powerful engine, resulting in considerably better mobility and speed. Unlike the Type 96A, however, the Type 96B is a prototype, designed for the Chinese military team to use during the annual Tank Biathlon event in Russia. In 2017, the Chinese team won the second place, being defeated only by Russia. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the Type 96B is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it’s very agile and fast for its class and uses advanced ammunition, making it highly suitable for players who prefer mobility over armor protection, even though it can take a lot of punishment as well.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



[h3]M1A1 Storm[/h3]

In 1985, the Abrams was upgraded with, amongst other things, the 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon. Over 5000 M1A1 tanks were produced until 1992. This tank participated in Operation Desert Storm, which forged its legendary reputation.



In Armored Warfare, the M1A1 Storm is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. The M1A1 Storm look was inspired by Operation Desert Storm, including a gorgeous camouflage net model. But, more importantly, this tank is equipped with a massive frontal dozer blade, adding extra armor and ramming damage to the long list of its advantages.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



[h3]MBT-70[/h3]

Germany and the United States cooperated in the 1960s and 70s to create the ultimate Main Battle Tank to replace the aging Patton tank series in service. The MBT-70 prototype tank was the U.S. result of the development program. It was exceptionally well armed with a 152mm gun, capable of firing guided missiles and equipped with cutting edge technology, but high costs and endless delays in development led to the cancellation of this project and the subsequent adoption of a more reasonable design – the Abrams.



In Armored Warfare, the MBT-70 is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. Several features make it quite unique – it has a large caliber gun that, while slow to reload, delivers tremendous damage with each shot. It can also fire devastating guided missiles and while its mobility levels aren’t the best, it can devastate its opponents with well-timed shots, relying on its armor to keep it alive while it reloads. And last but not least, this vehicle has a hydraulic suspension available, allowing it to tilt its hull to improve its gun depression and elevation.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

We’re happy to announce that the Shadow Protocol Battle Path campaign has just begun.



This four-month-long campaign is returning to the format of previous Battle Paths. The Shadow Protocol Battle Path doesn’t offer a story to follow. Instead, it has two themes – mercenaries, and the past, the present and the future of warfare. Its topic can therefore be divided into three parts:

• Mercenary history (covering the conflicts that involved mercenaries, starting from the Golden Age that were the sixties, to the 2000s)
  
• Contemporary mercenary history (from the Caucasus to the Middle East)
  
• Future warfare (where the focus shifts towards the Pacific theater of operations)
  

As usual, we’ve prepared three brand-new vehicles for you:

• T-64BV Mod.2022 Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 20
  
• Borsuk Tier 10 Premium AFV for reaching Level 35
  
• KNIFV NLOS LPS Tier 10 Premium TD for reaching Level 50
  

Additionally, other valuable prizes can be obtained by progressing in the Battle Path:

• M1A1 AIM Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 45 (it’ll come in handy, we have a new skin for it)
  
• Up to 30 Premium vehicles via the brand-new Mercenary Loot Crates (that also contain Premium commanders, but no trash prizes – just Gold)
  
• Exclusive skins for mission completion
  
• Epic skins, camouflages, decals, paints and many other things
  

You can review the prizes in the following article.

[h3]What’s New[/h3]

We’ve kept the low prices you’ve been enjoying in the Seahawks Battle Path, which means that each level will only cost 4.500 Battle Coins. What we have changed, however, are the prizes. Practically every second level now offers a Battle Coin booster reward (amongst other things).

The missions have been overhauled once again. This time, each mission will be possible to complete in any Tier 4 to Tier 10 vehicle. Since missions are not mandatory to receive your dose of Battle Path boosters, we’ve ramped the difficulty up – but also the prizes:

• Finishing each of the four chains will award you with an exclusive skin that will not be available by any other means
  
• Finishing each of the first three chains will also award you with 5 Mercenary Loot Crates
  
• Finishing the top chain with the most difficult missions will award you with 15 whopping Mercenary Loot Crates
  

You can read more in the following article.
