Important: Stay Home, Stay Safe!

Commanders!

Today, we have an important update for you. As you already know, in response to the currently unfolding world-wide COVID-19 epidemic, we’ve taken some measures to keep our staff safe. However, we do not care just about our developers – we care about all of you and want you all to be as safe as you can given the circumstances. That is why we’d like you to stay home as much as you can. However, being isolated can be a difficult experience and we would, of course, like to make it as easy as possible for you.



With that being said, starting March 24, 2020, we are rolling out a special set of bonuses along with a gift that you can claim via the MY.GAMES Market.

These bonuses will be active for two weeks and include:
  • 200% Experience income bonus (x3) for the first victory of the day for all modes
  • 100% Commander Experience income bonus for all modes
  • 50% Credit income bonus for all modes

The Stay Safe gift we’ve prepared for you includes:
  • 7 day temporary version of the K21 Tier 8 Premium AFV
  • 7 day temporary version of the Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium TD
  • 7 day temporary version of the Leopard Revolution Tier 8 Premium MBT
  • 14 days of Premium Time
  • 5 Platinum Battlefield Glory 12-hour boost tokens

 


We hope that these items will make your Armored Warfare experience enjoyable despite the unfortunate circumstances. Stay safe, commanders, and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Saturday Community Stream

Commanders!

Are you stuck home with nothing to do? Tired of destroying enemy tanks? It's time to take a break! We’d like to invite you to a special stream, taking place on our Twitch channel on Saturday, March 21 between 18:00 and 20:00 CET.

We will be taking questions and answering them during the stream, so don’t miss the opportunity to ask anything you’d like to know about Armored Warfare! And, of course, you’ll have the opportunity to obtain some goodies as well.

See you there!

Contest: Spring Clean-Up – Results

Commanders!

The Spring Clean-Up contest is over and, thanks to your contributions, we managed to track down and fix more than two hundred issues with English localization of the game.



We’d like to thank all of you for your help in cleaning the Armored Warfare up. The results of this contest will appear in the game with the next hotfix. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to correct a portion of the submitted issues for various reasons (mostly because they were connected to UI development rather than localization), but we have passed such submissions to the people responsible for that particular branch of development.

However, there were some of you who are responsible for the lion’s share of corrections.

The first amongst those is, without any doubt, Bareideru with roughly a hundred individual submissions. As promised, he’ll receive the K21 Tier 8 Premium AFV (unless he opts for another vehicle).

With that being said, we decided to also reward the other players who submitted significant amounts of valid feedback:
  • AUSTIN5125
  • BillyTheKid
  • Flavio93Zena
  • lewisdawson1
  • ChallenegerMBT

They too will receive the abovementioned prize in the near future.

Once again, thank you all for your submissions and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Offer: M50 Ontos, M1A1 Storm, VT-5

Commanders!

This week, we’ve prepared another set of attractive items for you:
  • M50 Ontos Tier 4 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • VT-5 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank
  • Sentinel Skins
Between March 19 and March 26, 2020, the following items will be available:


[h2]M50 Ontos[/h2]


M50 Ontos is a fire support vehicle equipped with six recoilless guns. It was designed as a highly mobile platform to enhance the U.S. troop firepower during the Vietnam War and it served its purpose well. The Vietnamese dreaded it especially in urban combat, where a single salvo from this small but incredibly powerfully armed vehicle could level an entire building (along with anyone in it). In more than one case, the sight of an Ontos approaching sent the Vietnamese running without it even having to fire a single shot. You can read more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the M50 Ontos is a Tier 4 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is one of the most unique vehicles in the game in the sense of being incredibly powerfully armed for its Tier. The rapid fire of its six recoilless guns is absolutely devastating and the Ontos is quite mobile too, although these traits are balanced by its thin armor. In summation, it is an effective ambusher that can deal a lot of damage, but has to retreat to reload since emptying its guns leaves it quite vulnerable.






[h2]M1A1 Storm[/h2]


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.






[h2]VT-5[/h2]


The VT-5 is a modern Chinese Light Tank that was developed specifically with export in mind. There are many reasons why a country without its own tank development should opt to purchase a Light Tank instead of a full-scale Main Battle Tank. It’s equally as fast if not faster with equal firepower but, what is most important, it is affordable. The VT-5 excels in all these categories. While its armor cannot match that of an MBT, it can protect its crew against most infantry threats thanks to its ERA and cage armor sets. It also has a powerful 105mm gun capable of firing guided missiles, it is packed with advanced electronics and is supremely agile thanks to its 1000hp diesel engine. Simply put, wraps cutting edge technologies up into an affordable bundle. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the VT-5 is a very powerful Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. Fast and agile, it features solid levels of protection (the configuration in the game is the one featuring the ERA kit as well as the turret cage armor) and a good rate of fire. Additionally, its gun is capable of firing guided missiles. It’s an ideal machine for players who value speed and agility, as it offers plenty of both. The VT-5 is capable of dancing around its opponents on the battlefield, outperforming even some AFVs in mobility.






[h2]Sentinel Skins[/h2]


The Sentinel skins are available for the following vehicles: XM1A3, Stingray 2, M1128 Stryker and M2A3 Bradley. They are inspired by the imagery of U.S. Air Force stealth fighter jets.



Please note that these bundles include the skins only, not the vehicles themselves, which need to be obtained separately.





We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
