Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • CATTB Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Abrams AGDS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • Griffin 120mm Tier 8 Premium Light Tank
  • Bradley AAWS-H Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • M1134 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
  • M1A1 Storm Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between June 29 and July 6, 2023, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]CATTB[/h2]
 

The CATTB Main Battle Tank was an experimental platform, developed as one of the early steps in the creation of a next generation Abrams Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Block III Abrams, or M1A3. It was created in the 1980s as a response to the perceived threat of future Soviet super tanks and featured some truly advanced components, such as the XM291 dual caliber cannon that could switch between 120mm and 140mm calibers. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the development of this tank became unnecessary and the program was canceled in the 1990s. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the CATTB is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank and one of the most powerful and versatile MBTs around, devastating its opponents with its signature double-tap feature, allowing it to fire its cannon twice in short order. This allows it to drive around a corner, deal very high amounts of damage and then retreat back into cover, leaving the enemy reeling from the massive blow.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop CATTB parts. Collect 100 CATTB parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]Abrams AGDS[/h2]
 

The Abrams AGDS (Armored Ground Defense System) was a vehicle concept and proposal, drafted in July 1996 by Dr. Asher H. Sharoni (a former colonel in the Israeli Defense Forces) and Lawrence D. Bacon from a Californian company called Western Design Howden. It was supposed to be an air-defense vehicle, protecting the Abrams formations against flying threats, although its weaponry can be deployed against ground targets as well. The United States were, at the time, sorely lacking a vehicle comparable to the Russian Shilka and one of the ideas was to use the Abrams chassis paired with a new turret to produce an armored AA gun that would be able to keep up with the American tank units. This plan was never realized and the vehicle stayed only on paper but you can play the Abrams AGDS in Armored Warfare and experience what it would have been like, had it ever been deployed.



In Armored Warfare, the Abrams AGDS is a very unique Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it so special are its two large guided missile launchers capable of firing an incredibly devastating volley within seconds. The AGDS can devastate practically every opponent on the battlefield with a single salvo, making it one of the best and most effective mid-to-long range vehicles in the game. At close ranges, it can rely on excellent frontal turret protection and its two 35mm autocannons to keep enemies at bay until the missile launcher reloads to unleash another deadly swarm of missiles. The Abrams AGDS is one of the most feared vehicles in Armored Warfare!

[h2]Griffin 120mm[/h2]
 

The Armored Warfare version of the Griffin Light Tank is based on an early 2016 tech demonstrator, intended to show the U.S. military during the AUSA 2016 conference that General Dynamics meant business. It was built as a private venture; effectively a scaled-up example of General Dynamics was capable of providing when it came to highly mobile vehicles with a lot of firepower for the U.S. airborne forces. The U.S. Army was impressed and the design has since evolved into what is generally referred to as the MPF Light Tank. You can read more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Griffin 120mm is a Tier 8 Premium Light Tank and a powerful, fast machine, armed not only with its 120mm cannon, but also with special ammunition types, making it deadly at any distance. Few Tier 9 vehicles can match its sheer ferocity on the battlefield.

[h2]Bradley AAWS-H[/h2]
 

The Bradley AAWS-H Tank Destroyer was an attempt by Loral Vought to mount four kinetic guided missiles on an extendable arm while using the Bradley IFV chassis as a platform. Kinetic missiles were cutting edge tech back in the 1980s – unlike standard ATGMs, they destroyed the target by their kinetic energy instead of a HEAT warhead, accelerating to several times the speed of sound. There was little to no defense against them, although they did have some drawbacks, which was why they were never adopted in real life. You can read more about the vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Bradley AAWS-H is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s an ATGM-based TD, carrying special kinetic missiles that actually become more effective with increasing distance to your target. It is the embodiment of a long-range missile carrier and is perfect for players who prefer sniping to close combat.

[h2]M1134[/h2]
 

The M1134 is an advanced missile Tank Destroyer based on the Stryker chassis, used in the U.S. Army Stryker Brigade Combat Teams to enhance the unit’s firepower against enemy armor. While only lightly protected, its main strength light in the advanced model of the BGM-71 TOW missile launcher, allowing it to knock out practically every armored target it encounters on the battlefield.



In Armored Warfare, the M1134 is a Tier 8 Tank Destroyer. Its main and only weapon is the dual-shot missile launcher. As such, the vehicle is mostly defenseless at close ranges, but can take out any enemy it encounters at long distances thanks to its powerful guided missiles. Mastering it requires patient gameplay and clever use of cover, making it more suitable for experienced players.

[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.

Historical Camouflages – U.S. Reforger 1983

Commanders!

This year’s upcoming U.S. Independence Day celebrations will bring (alongside the long-awaited AbramsX) a couple of historical camouflages that appeared on American vehicles during the REFORGER 83 military exercise.



As the name suggests, the exercise took place in Germany (the abbreviation Reforger stands for Return of Forces to Germany) in 1983. Until their cancellation in 1993, the Reforger exercises were some of the largest in Europe. The goal was, of course, to test the readiness and training of the NATO forces in Germany in case of a Soviet attack.

While ultimately proven false, the fear of hordes of Soviet tanks pouring through the so-called Fulda Gap (a lowland area near Fulda suitable for a surprise attack towards the river Rhine) was very real in the minds of NATO strategists. The exercises therefore used to be very thorough and included both ground units and air forces of the involved NATO countries – in fact, the 1988 Reforger 88 exercise was the largest military exercise in Europe since the Second World War with over 125 thousand men participating.



The Reforger 83 "Confident Enterprise" exercise took place in September 1983 and included, amongst a number of other units, the famous 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, “Blackhorse Regiment”. Its history goes back to the first years of the 20th century but it would rise to fame during the Second World War and later on in Vietnam. In the 1980s, the unit was stationed in West Germany, guarding the free world against communism.



During the Reforger 83 exercise, the unit’s Abrams tanks were painted in various atypical camouflage patterns, typically consisting of various shapes of green and light brown (sand) colors.

We have three of those for you, including the rather famous “Giraffe” pattern.



Additionally, we’ll have three decals for you:
  • 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (Blackhorse) emblem
  • 8th Infantry Division emblem (the unit also participated in the exercise)
  • Reforger 83 symbol “74 Blue” (appeared on Abrams tanks)

We hope that you’ll enjoy the camouflages and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
