Commanders!

  • T-72B3 Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank Bundles

Between April 29 and May 6, 2021, the following items will be available:


[h2]Armata 152[/h2]


The Armata 152 is a version of the T-14 Armata, armed with larger cannon. One of the upgrades considered for the T-14 Armata was the increase of its caliber to 152mm in order to absolutely, positively destroy anything with the first shot. The 2A83 smoothbore is a behemoth of a gun, designed in the last days of the Soviet empire for the next generation of super-tanks. It’s massive, heavy and quite costly to produce, but, most importantly, it was never truly needed to deal with the western MBTs since the standard 125mm guns were (and still are) up to the task. That is why it never found its way on any Soviet MBT with even the standard T-14 Armata being armed with an improved 125mm cannon. You can, however, experience its awesome firepower in Armored Warfare! Learn more about it in a dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the T-14 Armata 152 is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. While not firing as fast as its 125mm counterpart, the 152mm rounds do enormous damage, often eliminating weaker opponents with a single shot. And then there’s the platform itself – the Armata, the most modern Main Battle Tank in the world. Earn it and use it to dominate!

The Armata 152 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.






[h2]Military Bundles[/h2]


This week, we’ve prepared three special Military bundles with real-life camouflages.



The T-72B3 Military Bundle includes (apart from the vehicle itself) the Kantemirovskaya division real-life camouflage and free a Guards Badge decal belonging the elite units of the Soviet army. The camouflage will, of course, come in handy for other vehicles as well. For example, it’s ideal for the T-80U Main Battle Tank or the BMP series of vehicles, since these are used by the Kantemirovskaya division.



The second T-72B3 Military Bundle, on the other hand, includes (once again, apart from the vehicle itself), the Red Army khaki base paint, three Russian real-life camouflages and a decal that can be typically seen on various military parade vehicles of the Russian army. Together, they allow you to customize your T-72B3 to look the way it can be seen in reality. The camouflages will, of course, come in handy for other vehicles as well.



And finally, the Object 187 Military Bundle includes, apart from the vehicle itself, the attractive Volna real-life camouflage (as seen on an actual T-80B MBT in the 1990s) and a decal depicting the crest of the Academy of the Russian Army.






[h2]T-72B3[/h2]


The T-72B3 is the most modern Russian T-72 variant currently in service. It is a heavily upgraded version of the T-72B, featuring Kontakt-5 ERA kit and an improved Fire Control System. Together, these modifications allow the aging T-72 to serve well into the 21st century. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the T-72B3 is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. It continues the tradition of other Russian tanks. Its low silhouette, good mobility, powerful 125mm gun and its advanced ERA kit make it a formidable opponent. This version of the T-72B3 is offered without any camouflage.






[h2]BMPT Mod.2017[/h2]


The BMPT Mod.2017 is one specific version of the BMPT Terminator that was deployed in 2017 in Syria for extended testing along with some other Russian prototype equipment, including the SU-57 jet fighter and the Uran-9 combat robot. It consists of a modified T-90 hull with a modernized turret from BMPT-72 installed on it. Another major difference was the presence of a new type of Explosive Reactive Armor that was made of soft fabric bags with explosive filler. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BMPT Mod. 2017 is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer and arguably the most powerful variant of the BMPT family. Like the others, it combines a tank hull with an unmanned turret, armed with two 30mm cannons as well as four missile launchers. Its thick armor and advanced ATGMs quickly made it one of the most feared vehicles of Tier 8 battlefields, a position it retains to this day.






[h2]Object 187[/h2]


The Object 187 was a Soviet era program, developed to improve upon the excellent but ageing T-72 Main Battle Tank. Several prototypes were built, featuring a number of advanced elements compared to the older Soviet tanks, such as the new long 125mm smoothbore gun with a typical muzzle brake. The result was an excellent MBT that was, however, never mass-produced due to the 1990s Russian military budget cuts – the Russian army chose a less advanced but cheaper T-90 instead. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 187 is a typical Russian style Main Battle Tank – it’s suitable for an aggressive play style and is a good choice for the players who prefer to take on their opponents at close ranges.

This vehicle is now available as a standalone item.

Maintenance - April 29

On the 29th of April 2021, starting from 8:00 CEST (28th of April, 11 PM PDT), the server will not be available for 5 hours due to the application of Update 0.35.8065



[h2]List of Update 0.35.8065 Changes[/h2]

Model Overhaul

We have significantly improved the Sabra Mk.2 model in preparation for an upcoming skin that will become obtainable in May. This overhaul includes a number of bug fixes such as the visual and collision boundary of its smoke grenades. You can read more about the improvements in our dedicated article.

We have also overhauled the T-72M2 Wilk model and you can read about that one in another dedicated article. In this case, please note that we have also overhauled this MBT’s armor to match that of the upcoming Tier 1 to 6 overhaul (and the current T-72A/M1 levels).

Apocalyptic Achievements

We added a new series of Apocalypse Contract achievements that tie to the completion of Contract Missions with the top obtainable prize being a new camouflage called Shroud. These achievements had in fact been added in a previous update, but we felt that they deserved a delayed patchnotes entry nonetheless.

General Changes
  • Fixed an issue where completing a weekly Contract Mission counted as 1 mission instead of 5 for the purposes of T-90A Burlak additional progression module unlocking (compensation is a part of the fix)
  • Special Operation “War”: Blocked the passage towards the final objective, which was located near the ship and the waterway
  • Special Operation “War”: Slightly adjusted the AI behavior and spawns near the final objective
  • Converted the Echoes of War Battle Coin coupons, which dropped incorrectly after the end of the Echoes of War Battle Path, to new ones for the Battle Path coming in the future
  • Fixed the T-90A Motherland skin
  • Seon’gun-915: Fixed an issue where switching weapons could lead to lower ATGM reload time than intended
  • T-72A and T-72M1: Fixed the visual model of this vehicle based on the feedback by Spyder
  • Fixed the Raid Elite mission descriptions in all languages
  • Fixed a number of small vehicle model issues
  • Added a number of assets for an upcoming event
