As 2024 ends, it’s the perfect time to look back at the year’s highlights. From the impactful Shockwave Update to the story-driven Seahawks Battle Path and the tactical challenges of Lone Star, Armored Warfare has introduced exciting new content and challenges. With additions like the EMBT and XM2001 Crusader, this year brought a variety of memorable moments for commanders around the globe. Let’s take a closer look at what defined 2024 on the battlefield:

[h3]January: AS90[/h3]

We started the year with a bang—quite literally—with the release of the AS90, a Tier 8 Premium Self-Propelled Gun. Armed with high-damage HE and HEAT shells and exceptional mobility, the AS90 proved to be a devastating addition to any arsenal. Originally available for free through a Contract, it is now obtainable only through loot crates, direct purchase, or the Battle Path shop.

Initially obtainable as Battle Path rewards, these vehicles are now available only through loot crates, direct purchase, or the Battle Path shop.

The Enhanced Main Battle Tank (EMBT) made its debut in August, showcasing advanced French and German engineering. Equipped with the 140mm ASCALON cannon, Trophy APS, and Galix soft-kill APS, this Tier 10 sniper MBT excels in long-range engagements and is a true technological marvel.

[h3]August: Lone Star Special Operation[/h3]

The second chapter of the Black Company saga, Lone Star, transported commanders to the urban battlegrounds of Port Houston. This mission challenged players to liberate a prisoner camp while navigating intense close-quarters combat. Rewards included the Lone Star camouflage, a Cowboy avatar, and 28 new achievements.

Boasting upgrades from Russia’s Motobol program, it features Kontakt-5 ERA and a 1250hp turbine engine, delivering exceptional performance in cold environments. As a key link in the Soviet tank lineage, the T-80BVM stands out as a formidable addition to the progression lineup.

[h3]October: Shockwave Update[/h3]

[h3]December: XM2001 Crusader[/h3]

Closing out the year, the XM2001 Crusader delivered precision artillery strikes with its 155mm gun and three-round magazine. This Tier 10 Premium SPG combines exceptional speed (67 km/h) with moderate armor and requires careful positioning due to its turret’s limited traverse angle. The Crusader’s firepower and mobility make it a standout addition to any commander’s arsenal.

Starting December 26, the Crusader will be available through blueprint loot crates, giving commanders another opportunity to add this formidable vehicle to their collection.

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

• Object 195 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  
• Type 99A2-140 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  

Between December 23 to December 30, 2024, the following items will be available:

[h2]Object 195[/h2]

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.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



[h2]Type 99A2-140[/h2]

The Type 99A2-140 is an experimental version of the most advanced Chinese Main Battle Tank in existence – the Type 99A. Unlike its production counterpart, however, it is not armed with a 125mm smoothbore, but massive 140mm smoothbore cannon. This is a theoretical upgrade to the vehicle – while the People’s Republic of China was considering upgrading the firepower of its Main Battle Tanks to face latest western and Russian MBT models, a 140mm gun was never installed on this chassis and was only mentioned in passing by certain Chinese sources. Now, however, your enemies will have the opportunity to experience what such a vehicle with you in command would be like to face in battle!



In Armored Warfare, the Type 99A2-140 is a rather unique Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is essentially a version of the progression Type 99A2 Tier 10 MBT with one difference – the 140mm gun, trading its rate of fire for penetration and single shell damage. It is very fast and mobile (with its maximum speed being well over 90 km/h), protected by ERA and APS both and capable of using an acceleration-boosting active ability that pushes its engine far beyond the limits of common Main Battle Tanks. If used right, the vehicle is extremely deadly and one of the best Tier 10 MBTs on the battlefields of Armored Warfare.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.



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

See you on the battlefield!
