Offer: Tier 10 Direct Sales

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you (directly available, no loot crates):

  • AbramsX Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Altay Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
Between December 16 to December 23, 2024, the following items will be available:

[h2]AbramsX[/h2]

AbramsX is an advanced technology demonstrator. It was built as a private venture by General Dynamics Land Systems and unveiled in 2022 to show what the future of the Abrams MBT could look like. It is considerably lighter than a fully upgraded Abrams while retaining its protection levels and firepower thanks to its cutting edge systems. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the AbramsX is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While still maintaining the basic Abrams line features such as a 120mm gun, it is considerably lighter and less armored. On the other hand it is also faster, more agile, stealthier, and features a 30mm autocannon that can reduce most light vehicles to a pile of scrap in seconds thanks to its new ammunition. As a result, this tank can dish out a lot of damage but requires careful and skilled gameplay.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h2]Object 640[/h2]

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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



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

See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Asian Week

Commanders!

  • ZTZ-20 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Boxer CRV Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Australian Boxer skin for Boxer CRV
  • QN-506 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • VT-5 Tier 9 Premium Light Tank
  • Type 96B Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Seahawks Battle Coins
  • Commander Loot Crate


Between December 12 and December 19, 2024, 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.

 

 

[h2]Boxer CRV[/h2]

The Boxer CRV is the Infantry Fighting Vehicle variant of the Boxer platform, featuring a cutting edge turret with 30mm autocannon and guided missiles. It is a truly next-gen IFV with orders coming from all over the world, most notably from Australia and Germany. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Boxer CRV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It is one of the best IFVs in its class, offering a combination of solid mobility and great firepower, including Mechanized Infantry deployment and the dreaded double-launch ATGM feature.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]Australian Boxer Bundle[/h3]

In addition to the Boxer CRV Tier 9 Premium AFV, we have prepared a special skin for it that transforms it into a vehicle used by the Australian military with the appropriate camouflage, markings and all that. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available as a part of the Australian Boxer Bundle, which contains the following items:

  • Skin: Australian Boxer
  • 3 Platinum Loot Crates
  • 500 Gold


This bundle is available in our Web Shop.




[h3]VT-5[/h3]

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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.





[h3]QN-506[/h3]

The QN-506 fire support vehicle is a Chinese attempt to design a cheap, export-oriented alternative to the Russian BMPT series. Instead of converting a second or third generation MBT, the engineers at Wuhan Guide Infrared Co., Ltd., likely to keep the vehicle as affordable as possible, opted to base their project on the Type 59 MBT, which is, in its basic form anyway, a copy of the old Soviet T-55 medium tank from the late 1950s. They jam-packed it with cutting edge electronics and a number of weapon systems, including ATGMs, an automatic cannon or smaller caliber rockets. However, despite the use of an unmanned turret, the protection levels of this vehicle are still quite low and, so far, there haven’t been any signs of interest in the QN-506. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In Armored Warfare, the QN-506 is a Premium Tier 9 Tank Destroyer that gameplay-wise resembles the popular BMPT series. However, unlike the Russian Terminators, it has a number of interesting features including tree different weapon systems (30mm cannon, 70mm unguided rockets and 151mm ATGMs) and loitering recon ammunition flying towards the end of a map and spotting everything in its path. The last ability is unique to the QN-506 and makes it one of the most potent support vehicles on the battlefield.

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.

Coming soon: Cold as Ice

Commanders!

Is your heart cold as ice right about now from all that chilly weather? Allow us to warm it up with a special event featuring Seahawks Battle Coins and other great things.



This event will start tomorrow morning and will be available until January 12, 2025. Its rules are, once again, very simple. You can participate simply by destroying 5 enemy vehicles in PvE (or 1 in PvP) every day (while driving a Tier 3 vehicle or higher) in order to receive a reward.

But what is the theme, you might ask? Well, dear players, it’s you. All those times you posted things like “wouldn’t it be nice if we had this flag or that decal” and thought we couldn’t possibly be listening? As it turns out, were in fact were – and here’s the evidence. Let’s take a look at some of the prizes:

Cheese camouflage – all those times you likened Object 490 to a slice of cheese? Well, now you can.



Ice Storm camouflage – this wasn’t requested by you per se, but it still is a very nice pattern.



Flag of Yugoslavia – both a decal and a flag, as requested quite a few times.



Googly Eyes – this decal is just perfect for the Abrams, isn’t it?



White Lancers – at long last, the emblem of this Polish PMC from Armored Warfare lore is making an appearance. That one is a real blast from the past.



There’s more, of course, but we don’t want to spoil everything just now. Is there anything else you’d like to see in the game in the future? Let us know on Discord and we’ll take a look. But for the time being:

Please note:

  • This event may run concurrently with other events and is available to all players
  • You may only complete one objective per day
  • The event starts on December 12, 2024 and ends on January 12, 2025


We hope that you will enjoy this event and will see you on the battlefield!
