Warhammer Skin for M1A2


This skin for the M1A2 Tier 8 progression Main Battle Tank is based on the real American Abrams tanks, which were seen and photographed during the Iraq War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
  • Iraq War ochre base paint (used by the U.S. Army)
  • U.S. Cavalry decal
  • U.S. Company decal
  • Thunderbolt decal (this historical decal appeared on a real early Abrams in honor of General Creighton Abrams’ personal Sherman tank during the Second World War)
Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the M1A2 MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game.





MERDC Camouflages


The MERDC camouflages are based on the patterns from the 1970s, when the U.S. Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command (MERDC) developed a system for camouflaging armored vehicles. You can read more about these patterns in our dedicated article.



There are seven patterns available:
  • Grey Desert
  • Red Desert
  • Snow Temperate, Open Terrain
  • Snow Temperate, Trees
  • Europe Summer
  • Europe Winter
  • Tropics

All seven are available in a discounted bundle. Each of these camouflages can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available. These camouflages can be used in all three environments.






Stryker ADATS


ADATS stands for “Air Defense Anti-Tank System,” describing its purpose very well. The system is intended to engage both air and ground armored targets. It was developed in the 1980s by a Swiss company called Oerlikon-Contraves and was offered as an interesting hybrid that would be able to deal with both Soviet tanks and helicopters or attack planes. Unfortunately for it, it came too late – only Canada would actually accept it in service and the end of the Cold War meant the end to all attempts at its large-scale introduction. The ADATS missiles were quite large but, more importantly, extremely fast and were certain to be extremely destructive to any Soviet armored targets, even though this thankfully never had to be tested in real combat. The ADATS turret was offered for a wide variety of platforms and was actively installed on a vehicle that is kind of like a cousin to the Stryker, the Canadian LAV-III. In this configuration, the vehicle was called MMEV.



In Armored Warfare, Stryker ADATS is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is a wheeled vehicle armed with two weapon systems – powerful long-range guided missiles and short-range unguided rockets, offering it some survivability in short range combat as well as the ability to deal tremendous damage if left to its devices.






Griffin 120mm


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.






M1134


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.





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

See you on the battlefield!
Armored Warfare - Silentstalker
Commanders!

The December of 2020 will bring another Battle Path. This time, the general theme (as the entire new season itself) will be the post-apocalyptic world that came from the super-volcano explosion at the end of the Spirithaven Special Operation. This will not only reflect on the upcoming skins and the general artistic feel of the Battle Path, but also on the vehicles themselves – because let’s face it, what kind of machine would you want to find yourselves in during an apocalypse? A rugged one, of course – and few military vehicles are as rugged as those coming from Russia.

That is why the vehicle pool of the next Battle Path will be Russian and today we are beginning to unveil its composition, starting with a rather interesting vehicle called Kurganets-25.



A little history first, as usual.

Kurganets-25 is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. Its name comes from two sources, which its place of origin (Kurgan, a city in the Ural Mountains) and its weight of 25 tons. While not as chunky and expensive as the T-15 Armata super-heavy IFV, it’s designed to finally offer the 21st century protection levels the Russian military has been demanding for a long time. It was deemed that the developing company (Kurganmashzavod) had plenty of experience to make such a vehicle work since it’s also producing upgraded BMP-3 IFVs for the Russian military.

Unlike various previous attempts at well-protected IFVs such as the Dragun, the Kurganets is an entirely new design. It originally came in to configurations – a lightly armed APC for 8 troops and an IFV for 6-7 troops. Other configurations (such as a 122mm self-propelled gun, a 125mm tank destroyer or a 57mm anti-aircraft version) were also proposed, but nothing really came of it.

Both versions are well-protected by an optional ERA kit and the IFV was also presented as being able to carry a scaled-down version of Armata’s Afganit hard-kill APS. This system was mentioned in 2017 to be able to intercept kinetic shells but this ability is still currently not confirmed. Despite its low weight, its hull design was optimized to provide extra protection against ISDs and mines, something the older BMPs lacked completely (any BMP is one of the most vulnerable IFVs still in service when it comes to this kind of threat). At the same time, the vehicle is amphibious since it was also supposed to replace the Russian Marines’ BMP-3F.



The vehicle is powered by a 12.4 liter 6-cylinder 750hp YaMZ-780 engine mounted in the front, further increasing its crew’s protection. It has a maximum speed of some 80 km/h. The maximum swimming speed is estimated at 10 km/h. The engine was not the first choice but the actual intended engine for the platform by ChTZ never materialized.

It has a crew of three men – driver, commander and a gunner, the latter two operating a remotely-controlled Bumerang-BM turret, armed with a 30mm autocannon and Kornet guided missiles. It’s worth noting that some sources name even the 30mm Kurganets turret “Epokha” (or “Epokh” in some older articles). For all intents and purposes, they are the same weapon system.

The APC version is armed only with a small remote-controlled machinegun turret. The turret is completely isolated from the troop compartment so that, unlike in the older BMPs, a catastrophic ammo explosion does not kill the carried soldiers.

The development of this platform started in the early 2010s and a prototype (first delivered in 2013 or so) was unveiled along with the Armata vehicles during the famous 2015 Victory Day military parade. Initial reports claimed that the Kurganets would be module compatible with the Armata platform to reduce the costs of both, but this turned out not to be the case.



The original plan was to deliver roughly 100 trial vehicles by 2016, finish the state trials by 2017 and to start mass-producing the vehicle for Russian use by 2020. However, the program would turn out to be very expensive for Russia – too expensive.

Kurganets’ production was getting delayed as such:
  • To 2019 in 2016
  • To 2020 in 2017
  • To 2021 in 2018 with the state trials happening between 2019 and 2021
Kurganmash’s situation was further complicated by the demands to simultaneously upgrade the existing fleet of BMP-1s and BMP-2s and, internally, the company believed in 2018 that its facilities would not be fully re-tooled to Kurganets production before 2030.

In the early 2020, it was unveiled that the ChTZ engine development for the Kurganets and Armata platform was effectively cancelled due to the problems with the 12TV373Ch “Chaika” engine that turned out to be worse than the A-85-3A engine it was supposed to replace. This left the Kurganets project in a major pickle since further delays would be inevitable and the original YaMZ-780 engine would be needed after all.

In September 2020 it was finally decided to effectively shelf the whole program and to upgrade the existing fleet of old BMP-2 IFVs with a new combat module called Berezhok to the BMP-2M standard along with further acquisitions of modernized BMP-3s.



Considering the shift of attention to a newly developed (and considerably cheaper) upgrade of the BMP-3 called BMP-3M Manul, the lack of production facilities and the general cost of the program, the fate of Kurganets-25 seems to be all but sealed.

A few more words about the in-game version of the Epokha turret (sometimes transcribed Epocha or Epoch). This turret apparently evolved from the Bumerang-BM combat module (or is another name for it since plenty of sources use them interchangeably).



It is armed with four weapon systems – a short 57mm autocannon against soft targets, a Kornet ATGM launcher, a 7.62mm machinegun and a brand-new weapon system called Bulat, featuring small but nevertheless guided missiles.

The 57mm LShO-57 autocannon isn’t really an autocannon per se; it’s more of a grenade launcher. Its designation (APGB – automatic gun with grenade-launcher ballistics) confirms as much. Despite this fact, it can fire 3UBM21 APDS rounds along with the 3OF91 HE rounds. Their actual parameters are not known. The vehicle carries 72 such rounds. The interesting part here is the ballistic curve of these shells combined with their relatively low velocity.



The Kornet ATGMs are fairly well-known. What is new, however, is the 9M134 Bulat ATGM. Its caliber is not known, it is estimated to be between 60mm and 80mm. The turret carries 12 such missiles. The actual purpose of this system is engaging softer targets at longer ranges. The “autocannon” has its ballistic properties somewhere between an actual gun and a grenade launcher, making engaging moving targets at medium-to-long distances difficult. Bulat ATGMs are intended to remedy that.



In Armored Warfare, Kurganets-25 will be a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Now, considering this is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle in real life, you might be asking at this point why we chose to introduce it as a TD. The answer is that given the presence of many unique weapon systems on this vehicle, we decided to give it a rather unique battlefield role, akin to the QN-506. Nevertheless, it will be possible to deploy Mechanized Infantry.

In short, this vehicle will play sort of like a Terminator, only with less armor but more (or, rather, more diverse) firepower.



But before we get into any details, the usual disclaimer:

The numbers below are very preliminary as the vehicle has not been properly tested. They are sure to change and should only be discussed as an indicator of how we’d like to set the vehicle up. With that being said:

Protection-wise, it will of course still be something of a heavy IFV and that usually means steel armor that can’t take a lot of damage. Fortunately, Kurganets will have two things going for it:
  • Unmanned turret
  • Afganit APS
That’s right; this TD will be protected by roughly the same system as everyone’s favorite, T-15, including the option to activate the Supercharged hard-kill APS ability. Despite the lack of actual armor (which will be roughly comparable to BMP-3M), Kurganets will offer good survivability at long ranges. Given its class, it’s obviously not intended for short-range combat and if it finds itself in one, either it’s not being used correctly or the game is already in its last seconds.



Its mobility will correspond to what is written above – as a Tank Destroyer, the vehicle will not be extremely agile or fast with its maximum speed being 70 km/h. Compared to some other TDs, it will still be quite mobile, but not as much as an AFV.

Where it will really shine though will be its firepower, which will consist of three weapon systems:
  • 57mm short autocannon with mediocre rate of fire but solid damage and penetration (for an autocannon, that is), intended as a support weapon against light targets or MBT rear armor (like T-15’s 30mm gun)
  • Bulat ATGMs with small but potent thermobaric warheads and with limited agility but high flight velocity, intended as another support weapon (much like QN-506’s rockets)
  • Kornet ATGMs with the same performance as those of BMPT Mod.2000 (intended as the vehicle’s main weapon for long-range combat)
The turret will also feature average gun depression and excellent elevation (-5/+60 degrees). Last but not least, the vehicle will have average camouflage factor and class-appropriate viewrange (but will excel in neither).



All things considered, the Kurganets TD will be an excellent fire support platform the way it was intended in real life. Thanks to its diverse firepower, it’ll be able to deal some damage at most ranges, even though it is intended to fight at longer ones. Despite some similar characteristics with its heavier T-15 counterpart, it won’t be able to fill the same role by protecting the team with an MBT-like armor, but will instead have to stay behind a bit to do what it does best. Mechanized Infantry will, of course, only add to its value to the team and with the recently introduced ability to direct infantry fire, we are looking at a very potent damage dealer that will surely come in handy in any group.

We hope that you will enjoy this vehicle and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

With the Raid event underway and October nearly over, we’d like to tell you more about the future of Armored Warfare in the remaining months of 2020 and, of course, in 2021.



It’s been a very long season with Spirithaven – in fact, it launched eight months ago and it’s still not over. We do have more content, celebrations and bonuses coming to you in November, including:
  • Russia Unity Day with an amazing skin
  • Polish Independence Day with a great-looking skin, camouflage and more
  • Black Friday with more skins, sales and other content
The Raid event will of course run as well to its conclusion but the crowning jewel will be the launch of a new season in late November or early December. This new season will be post-apocalypse-themed and will therefore receive a fitting and original name: “Apocalypse.”



The first major piece of content for this season will be the first of a new series of Special Operations, taking place in the now post-apocalyptic world of Armored Warfare. Following the supervolcano explosion in Spirithaven and the race for shelter during the Enigma’s Legacy Battle Path, you will be thrown into an unforgiving world where every vehicle becomes irreplaceable and every round of ammunition counts.



In mid-December, relatively shortly after the launch of Update 0.34, a new post-apocalyptic-themed Battle Path campaign will also start. This Battle Path will bear the name “Echoes of War” and will bring another set of amazing vehicles, the first of which we will unveil in the near future. The campaign will mostly follow the mechanics of Enigma’s Legacy with some tweaks and improvements and will last for the usual three months or so.



However, the Apocalypse season will not end with it. We have decided to generally detach seasons from specific updates and make them longer, much like Spirithaven was, allowing us to focus on the mood of the update and to make our end of the world scenario fun.

But what can you expect in it or in 2021 in general? Plenty of things!
  • New features such as the upcoming inclusion of wheeled vehicles in AI vehicle pool
  • Plenty of new player vehicles of all classes (yes, including artillery)
  • New PvE missions both in Special Operation and standard PvE format
  • New PvP content, including another new map
  • New Battalion content
  • Many, many new events, raids, bonuses and celebrations with epic skins, camouflages, avatars and more!
We are happy to say that 2021 will be jam-packed with action and will do our utmost to keep you entertained all year long. Stay tuned for more news about the content coming in the near future and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

For this weekend, we’ve prepared a special event in celebration of a Hungarian October 23 holiday, celebrating an anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

In 1956, following several years of communist terror and economic decline (an inevitable result of a combination of war reparations and poor planning), the citizens of Hungary just had enough, resulting in several months of unrest and culminating in a major battle against the Soviet occupants. In the end, the revolution was mercilessly crushed by the Soviets in November 1956, but paid dearly for it with hundreds of troops dead and thousands wounded. On the Hungarian side, several thousand freedom fighters and civilians both were killed with brutal tactics of the Soviets unleashed against the population of Budapest.



Interestingly enough, the bill for the Soviet intervention would not only come in lives and destroyed weaponry. During the fighting, some brave Hungarian patriots captured a T-54A medium tank, got it running and delivered it to the British embassy in Budapest. This gave the British the chance to examine the vehicle closely, accelerating the development of the famous Royal Ordnance 105mm L7 gun and being one of the sparks that ignited the fires of an arms race that would three decades later bankrupt the Soviet Union. It is the bravery of these men who fought against incredible odds that we care celebrating today.

The following bonuses will be active between October 23 and October 26, 2020 (16:00 CEST):
  • 20% bonus to Credit income from all battles
  • 50% bonus to Commander XP income from all battles
But, more importantly, we have prepared a special gift for you, full of Hungarian-themed assets and available during the same period of time. This gift contains:
  • Leopard 2A4HU skin for the Leopard 2 Tier 7 MBT
  • Hungarian camouflage
  • 3 Hungarian-themed decals
  • 3 days of Premium Time
You can read more about the skin and camouflage in our dedicated article. The gift is now available on MY.GAMES Market.



We hope you will enjoy it and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
  • Sabra Mk.2 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Merkava Mk.2D Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Magach 7A Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Sabre Tier 6 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
  • Challenger 1 Falcon Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
  • Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between October 22 and October 29, 2020, the following items will be available:


Magach 7A


The Magach 7A is an early M60 series American tank, upgraded by the Israelis to meet the requirements of the 1990s battlefield, especially to combat the threat of anti-tank guided missiles that had started to find their way into the hands of various terrorist groups in the late 1980s. The most distinctive upgrade is its box-shaped extra turret armor. While well-protected, the tank was quite lethargic when it came to its mobility due to the use of its old engine, a shortcoming that was only corrected in the final evolution step of the Magach series, the Magach 7C. You can read more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Magach 7A is a Tier 6 Premium Main Battle Tank. With its excellent gun accuracy and aiming time values, the Magach 7A is a good sniper for its class and is perfectly suitable for those players, who want to experience long-range combat but who also want to keep some level of protection and survivability instead of completely relying on mobility and camouflage. It’s a rather sluggish vehicle, but more than a match for anything that it encounters on the battlefield.






Sabra Mk.2


The Israeli Sabra Mk.2 was developed as an upgrade kit for the aging Turkish M60A1 and M60A3 series Patton tanks in the early 21st century. Its main features include a new 120mm IMI M253 smoothbore gun replacing the old M68, and a brand new set of additional NERA armor, significantly improving the tank’s protection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Sabra Mk.2 is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank with powerful armament capable of defeating almost any vehicle it encounters on the battlefield. It’s not well-armored, but its ability to penetrate even extremely thick armor more than makes up for this handicap.






Merkava Mk.2D


The Merkava IID (also known as Mk.2D) is an advanced version of the standard Mk.2 Merkava, upgraded with a modular “Dor-Dalet” composite armor kit. It’s a tough and unyielding vehicle, featuring a number of battle-proven components such as its 105mm rifled cannon. The first version of the Merkava Mk.2 entered service in 1983 and the last vehicles were phased out in 2016 after thirty long years.



In Armored Warfare, the Merkava IID is a Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is not equipped with an explosive reactive armor kit, but is, nevertheless, a very tough customer due to the introduction of the applique armor, allowing it to take a lot of damage. Additionally, the tank is equipped with a Ready Rack mechanism, significantly increasing the rate of fire for the first four shots.






Sabre


The Sabre is an interesting British recon vehicle, assembled together from older Scorpion hulls and Fox turrets after both parts were brought to zero hour state (completely overhauled) by a company called Alvis. The resulting vehicle from the early 1990s was called Sabre and, considering it was made of decades old components, it worked fairly well as a scouting vehicle, participating in the Iraq War as well as in several peacekeeping missions. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Tier 6 Sabre Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle is one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield thanks to its rather unique upward-aimed Swingfire missile launcher that allows it to fire over obstacles or while hidden, for example behind uneven terrain. While being quite difficult to master, this ability makes it a potent ambusher, especially in skilled hands.






Challenger 1 Falcon


The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.



In Armored Warfare, the Challenger 1 Falcon is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. The best word to characterize this lumbering behemoth in the game is “tough” – its excellent hull armor shrugs off most shells while the damage its low profile turret takes when it is reduced by 90% thanks to the fact the crew is not located directly in it. Despite being generally very slow and sluggish, the Challenger 1 Falcon can take tremendous punishment and is ideal for the players who prefer the British Main Battle Tank play style.






Pile of Gold


This Loot Crate contains copious amounts of Gold for you to win, now available with 20% discount!



This Loot Crate includes:
  • 250.000 Gold
  • 100.000 Gold
  • 50.000 Gold
  • 10.000 Gold
  • 5.000 Gold
  • 1.000 Gold
  • 500 Gold
