Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• Object 490 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
• M-95 Degman Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
• ZUBR PSP Tier 7 Premium Tank Destroyer
• BWP-2000 Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• Pile of Gold Loot Crate

Between April 11 and April 18, 2024, the following items will be available:

 
[h2]Object 490[/h2]
 

The Object 490 Main Battle Tank was an advanced concept from the waning days of the Soviet Union. Designed in the 1980s, it represented a radical departure from the MBT paradigm. Its distinct wedge-like shape, along with the fact that the crew was located in the back, offered unparalleled levels of protection. But the most interesting part of the design was its double suspension paired with two engines, allowing the vehicle to stay mobile even after suffering significant damage. However, the conclusion of the Cold War put an end to this design, along with many other advanced Soviet projects. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 490 Tier 10 Premium MBT is perhaps the best armored vehicle in the game. It’s a true behemoth that is almost impossible to slow down, let alone knock out, and concentrated effort is required to stop one of these things when encountering them on the battlefield. The combination of extremely thick armor and a powerful 152mm gun makes this tank incredibly deadly, even though these advantages are balanced by its mediocre agility and the fact that its gun is only forward facing. This MBT is ideal for you if you prefer slow, methodical advances while dealing massive amounts of damage with each shot. If you keep your flanks secure, you’ll be all but impossible to stop.

The Object 490 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
[h2]M-95 Degman[/h2]
 

The M-95 Degman is an advanced Croatian prototype MBT, developed during the 1990s and 2000s. It is based on the previous Yugoslavian project, the Vihor MBT, which in turn has its roots in the improved T-72M series produced in former Yugoslavia. You can read more about its history in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the tank is relatively fast and fairly agile while carrying some potent firepower for its Tier. In fact, its owners can choose from two powerful guns:

• 125mm 2A46 Russian-style smoothbore gun, known from many Russian MBTs
• 120mm CTG NATO-style smoothbore gun that you know from the Challenger 1 Falcon MBT

It’s worth noting that the 120mm shells have higher penetration values and the gun can also fire Falarick ATGMs while the 125mm gun has higher damage per shot. Both guns will feature good handling as well as overall performance to offset the vehicle’s weakness, which is its mediocre armor. The Degman must rely on its mobility and firepower to survive, making it an ideal vehicle for aggressive, daring players.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[h2]ZUBR PSP[/h2]
 

The ZUBR was a Czech privately-funded project by PSP Bohemia from the 1990s to develop a successor platform to the aging Soviet-era BMP-series IFVs and various other obsolete specialized vehicles. Even though it was quite advanced for its time, it was ultimately unsuccessful due to the end of the Cold War and the subsequent cuts in European military budgets, including the Czech one. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the ZUBR PSP is a Tier 7 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it fairly unique is the fact that you can choose from two different weapon systems for this vehicle:

• Cockerill CT-CV turret with 105mm gun
• Four-barreled TOW ATGM launcher

Each of these weapons changes the gameplay style of the vehicle considerably and it is up to you, how you configure this powerful machine.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[h2]BWP-2000[/h2]
 

The BWP-2000 IFV was a Polish attempt from the mid-1990s to develop a replacement for the license-produced BMP-1 in the Polish military, since it was getting obsolete by that point. Its protracted development led to its cancellation at the onset of War on Terror, leaving Poland without a modern tracked IFV to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BWP-2000 is a Tier 7 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle armed with 60mm cannon as well as a set of ATGM launchers. When it comes to AFV playstyle, the BWP-2000 is definitely more of an infantry carrier and fire support vehicle than a scout due to its large size and powerful armament as well as the ability to deploy Mechanized Infantry. It can take quite a bit of punishment and deal it in equal measure.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
[h2]Pile of Gold[/h2]
 

We also have the Pile of Gold Loot Crate for you. This Loot Crate contains copious amounts of Gold for you to win.



This Loot Crate includes:

• 250.000 Gold
• 100.000 Gold
• 50.000 Gold
• 10.000 Gold
• 5.000 Gold
• 1.000 Gold
• 500 Gold
• 100 Gold

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

We hope that you will enjoy this offer and, as usual:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

We are happy to announce that the Update 0.120.5 is now available!



[h2]List of Update 0.120.5 Changes[/h2]

This small update fixes several release problems of the Europe’s Edge Battle Path.

First and foremost, we have updated the descriptions of the missions that now match their real objectives. The missions themselves haven’t changed mechanically. We have considered several solutions (including implementing the more difficult missions as were originally intended) but have ultimately decided to keep things as they are, allowing the players to obtain the European Loot Crates much easier than originally intended. This was deemed to be the most riskless and player-friendly solution (despite some missions not being exactly easy to complete).

Furthermore:

• Honey Badger skin is no longer incorrectly issued to all players (removed it from those who haven’t reached the appropriate Battle Path level)
• Honey Badger skin can now be removed normally when installed
• Moved the Leopard Cockerill ammo rack to its correct location in the turret bustle
• Removed the broken Lone Star Special Operation achievements

On the 9th of April 2024, starting from 8:00 CEST, the server will not be available for 5 hours due to a planned server maintenance.



Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.
