Pindad SBS Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
Type 90 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank along with Japanese camouflage
Between June 20 and June 27, 2024, the following items will be available:
Type 99B
The Type 99B is a fictional improved version of the currently most modern Chinese Main Battle Tank. It was designed as a concept by the Chinese tank community some years ago and we used the concept as a basis for its introduction. However, our version bears significant differences, most notably the Red Arrow missile launcher on the roof. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Type 99B is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is fast, agile, and capable of dealing tremendous damage over a short period of time thanks to its turret-mounted thermobaric missile launcher.
The Type 99B MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
QN-506
The QN-506 fire support vehicle is a Chinese attempt to design a cheap, export-oriented alternative to the Russian BMPT series. Instead of converting a second or third generation MBT, the engineers at Wuhan Guide Infrared Co., Ltd., likely to keep the vehicle as affordable as possible, opted to base their project on the Type 59 MBT, which is, in its basic form anyway, a copy of the old Soviet T-55 medium tank from the late 1950s. They jam-packed it with cutting edge electronics and a number of weapon systems, including ATGMs, an automatic cannon or smaller caliber rockets. However, despite the use of an unmanned turret, the protection levels of this vehicle are still quite low and, so far, there haven’t been any signs of interest in the QN-506. You can learn more about this vehicle in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the QN-506 is a Premium Tier 9 Tank Destroyer that gameplay-wise resembles the popular BMPT series. However, unlike the Russian Terminators, it has a number of interesting features including tree different weapon systems (30mm cannon, 70mm unguided rockets and 151mm ATGMs) and loitering recon ammunition flying towards the end of a map and spotting everything in its path. The last ability is unique to the QN-506 and makes it one of the most potent support vehicles on the battlefield.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
VT-5
The VT-5 is a modern Chinese Light Tank that was developed specifically with export in mind. There are many reasons why a country without its own tank development should opt to purchase a Light Tank instead of a full-scale Main Battle Tank. It’s equally as fast if not faster with equal firepower but, what is most important, it is affordable. The VT-5 excels in all these categories. While its armor cannot match that of an MBT, it can protect its crew against most infantry threats thanks to its ERA and cage armor sets. It also has a powerful 105mm gun capable of firing guided missiles, it is packed with advanced electronics and is supremely agile thanks to its 1000hp diesel engine. Simply put, wraps cutting edge technologies up into an affordable bundle. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the VT-5 is a very powerful Tier 9 Premium Light Tank. Fast and agile, it features solid levels of protection (the configuration in the game is the one featuring the ERA kit as well as the turret cage armor) and a good rate of fire. Additionally, its gun is capable of firing guided missiles. It’s an ideal machine for players who value speed and agility, as it offers plenty of both. The VT-5 is capable of dancing around its opponents on the battlefield, outperforming even some AFVs in mobility.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Pindad SBS
The SBS platform is one of the first domestic armored vehicles developed by Pindad (the largest Indonesian armor producer) for Indonesia and is officially listed as a “light tank”. It was developed sometimes in the early 2010s with some prototypes in different configuration appearing in public in 2014 or so. The variant in the game is a long-range MLRS fire support vehicle with a 122mm multi-barreled rocket launcher. You can learn more about it in our
The Type 90 is the current service main battle tank of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. On the outside, it vaguely resembled the German Leopard 2, but inside, the vehicle’s completely different. It was adequately armed and armored for the time it was developed in, but what made it really stand out were its cutting-edge Japanese electronics and its hydraulic suspension, allowing the tank to tilt itself forward or backward, enhancing its gun elevation and depression beyond what the turret would normally allow. This trait was considered to be an important for Japan, as much of its landmass is covered by mountainous areas. You can read more about it in our
Leopard 2 Revolution Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank
Leclerc T40 Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
Marder 2 Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
AMX 10 RCR Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
Europe's Edge Loot Crate
Between June 13 and June 20, 2024, the following items will be available:
EBRC JAGUAR
The Jaguar is a part of the Scorpion program, launched to develop France’s next generation of armored fighting vehicles. In this program, the Jaguar fulfills the role of a light recon and fire support vehicle. It combines cutting edge technology with high speed and excellent firepower. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Jaguar is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It’s fast, light and an amazing scout, but it can also hold its own in combat thanks to its 40mm cannon, guided missiles and active suspension.
The Jaguar Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
DESERT AJAX
We have prepared a new skin for the Ajax, Europe’s Edge Battle Path reward vehicle. The skin is based on an Ajax that appeared in this configuration (featuring a Barracuda camouflage and a desert paintjob) at an expo in the Middle East. Specifically it was the World Defense Show that took place in February 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
The skin is available as a part of the Desert Ajax Bundle, which contains the following items:
Skin: Desert Ajax
3 Platinum Loot Crates
500 Gold
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
OTOMATIC
The Otomatic was an attempt from the 1980s and 1990s to mate originally naval 76mm rapid-firing cannon with a tracked chassis (either of Palmaria or a Leopard) to create an advanced anti-aircraft gun. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Otomatic a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Thanks to its fast-firing 76mm gun it can deal tremendous amounts of damage over short periods of time and can deal effectively with any target it encounters on the battlefield.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
GEPARD
The Gepard is one of the best short-range anti-aircraft self-propelled guns in the world. Made primarily for Germany and the Netherlands, it remains in active use to this day and has recently seen some combat in Ukraine. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Gepard a Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. Unlike the Otomatic, it relies not on a single larger gun, but on the hailstorm of shells provided by its two 35mm autocannons. Even the toughest of targets crumble under its withering fire.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
LYNX SKYRANGER
This is a version of the cutting edge Lynx platform but instead of the standard IFV configuration, it utilizes the Skyranger HEL turret to create a short-range anti-aircraft vehicle that can also eliminate drone swarms with ease. This configuration was proposed for the recent Hungarian military upgrade program but never built in real life. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Lynx Skyranger is a Tier 10 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. It’s best used as a scout killer but it is capable of other roles as well. It features three rather unusual abilities, such as the programmable HE ammunition that explodes above targets, the Starstreak missiles that deal more damages over larger distances and ignore APS, and the High Energy Laser active ability. When activated, the laser blinds enemy targets, significantly reducing their spotting range. You can learn more about these abilities from our developer diary.
The Lynx Skyranger Tier 10 Premium AFV is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
LEOPARD 2 REVOLUTION
The Leopard 2 Revolution is a continuation of the older Evolution upgrade, intended to improve the performance of the older variants of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank in order to make it excel even on the battlefields of the 21st century. The improvements include a comprehensive armor upgrade, ROSY soft-kill APS and smoke grenade launchers as well as an entire suite of cutting edge electronics. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Leopard 2 Revolution is a Tier 8 Main Battle Tank. It is not only well-armored, it also features an extremely accurate 120mm gun with advanced ammunition, allowing it to destroy its opponents at very long ranges, rivaling those of Tank Destroyers. The German tanks in general perform best at longer ranges and the Revolution is no exception.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
LECLERC T40
Sometimes called the French Terminator, this vehicle was designed on the Leclerc MBT chassis with one purpose in mind – to accompany tanks and fight off infantry attacks the same way as the Russian BMPT series does. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Leclerc T40 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. It offers you a combination of a durable hull, rapid-fire 40mm automatic cannon and, most importantly, the Javelin missile system. Simply right-click the target, wait until it becomes locket and fire the Javelin ATGM – it will home itself on the target, attacking its weak roof armor. Thanks to this ability, the Leclerc T40 is one of the most destructive vehicles in the game.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
MARDER 2
The Marder 2 was an experimental German IFV, developed in the late 1980s to replace the aging Marder IFV. It featured more armor, a new turret and a brand-new Rheinmetall dual-caliber autocannon that could fire both 35mm and 50mm rounds. Despite its qualities, the vehicle was never accepted in service due to its high cost and because it was no longer needed because of the fall of the Soviet Union. A single surviving prototype can be found today in the Koblenz military collection. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Marder 2 is a Tier 8 Armored Fighting Vehicle. With its 44 tons, it’s one of the heaviest and toughest AFVs around. Unlike many other AFVs of its Tier, it is not armed with guided missiles, relying instead on its extremely powerful 50mm autocannon. This vehicle can also deploy Mechanized Infantry.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
AMX-10 RCR
The AMX 10 RCR is the updated variant of the French AMX 10 RC fire support vehicle by GIAT, originally developed in the early 1980s. This light and nimble wheeled 6x6 AFV was armed with a 105mm gun, allowing it to knock out even armored targets at considerable distances. Over 200 of these aging vehicles were upgraded by Nexter in 2010 with improved armor and electronics, enabling them to fulfill modern battlefield tasks until their eventual replacement by the Jaguar. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!
In Armored Warfare, the AMX 10 RCR is a Tier 8 wheeled Premium Tank Destroyer. It’s incredibly agile with its wheeled chassis allowing it to outrun pretty much any enemy on the battlefield save for the fastest AFVs. Its gun accuracy is also top notch, making this vehicle perfect for sniper-style gameplay as its thin armor can’t protect it against enemy shells at close distances. This vehicle also comes with the Hydraulic Suspension active ability.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

Update 0.155 Now Available
Commanders!
We are happy to announce that the Update 0.155 is now available!
List of Update 0.155 Changes
Rollbacks from Previous Update
First and foremost, we are rolling back two features that we released in the previous update. The first rollback concerns the rework of the BWP-2000, which you, the players, were not happy about. Since we are committed to listen to your feedback wherever we can, we are rolling the BWP-2000 changes back and the vehicle will return to the pre-Update 0.150 state.
The second rollback is a bit more complicated. In the previous update, we have released the following change:
Fixed an issue present on a large amount of vehicles where they could have more than one ATGM in the air at the same time when they should not
This was a legitimate fix we thought fully justified because many of these vehicles were not supposed to do that. Unfortunately, we have discovered that due to a number of undocumented changes left behind the code, this broke a number of things, most notably:
QN-506 drone missile switching/reload
Kurganets’ Bulat missiles
Stryker ADATS missiles
This is why we are returning things to the previous state and all the affected vehicles should behave the way they had before.
In connection with this issue, we have discovered a special case in Stryker ADATS where the module that should be providing such a bonus is not doing anything as the vehicle uses the feature already by default. That is why we have added a new reload bonus to the module (improved the ADATS missile reload from 30s to 21.25s).
Machinegun Elevation and Depression Fix
In preparation for the release of the drones, we have heard your feedback and began to fix machinegun elevation and depression angles on all vehicles where they did not match the main armament. This is an ongoing process as some changes are more complicated than others but in this batch, we have addressed the issue on the following vehicles:
PT-85, Type 69, Type 79, T-55, T-62, Tiran 6, T-55 Enigma, Chieftain Mk.2, Type 80-II, T-64A Mod.1969, T-62M, T-55M1, Object 430, Type 85-IIM, T-80, T-72, T-72M1, T-72A, T-64A Mod.1976, Rooikat, Merkava Mk.1, Chieftain Mk.6, Chieftain Mk.10, Chieftain Mk.11, Type 96, Type 90-II, T-72M2 Wilk, T-72B, Merkava Mk.2B, Chieftain 900, Type 96A, T-90, T-80U, T-72M4CZ, Merkava Mk.2D, PTL-02, Type 99, VT4, 9910, Type 96B, T-90A, T-72B3, ST1, Merkava Mk.3 BAZ, Ariete, ASCOD LT, ZTL-11, VT5, Type 99A, Merkava Mk.4, T-90MS, Centauro 120, PL-01, Merkava Mk.4M and T-90A Burlak.
In addition to these changes, we have made several technical changes in preparation of the second stage of this fix. They are mostly not visible to players but there’s one exception – the Altay remote-controlled machinegun module is no longer moving with the gun (it was based on an obsolete animation scheme). We’ll return to the Altay in the next iteration.
Vehicle Fixes and Updates
With each patch we continue (and will continue) to update vehicles based on your feedback and fix them. In this update, we have the following changes for you:
Ajax: Increased the ammo capacity to 1200 rounds
KF51 Panther: Increased the gun depression to -8 degrees
KF51 Panther: Drone launcher no longer appears in the Upgrade window
General Changes
Fixed the issue of invisible UAVs on several maps (mostly Global Operations)
Fixed several localization issues
Added a number of future event assets

Khrizantema-S Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer

Pile of Gold Loot Crate
Between June 6, 2024 and June 13, 2024, the following items will be available:
TOS-1M Buratino
The TOS-1M Buratino is a prototype version of the Russian TOS-1/TOS-1A heavy rocket launcher. It was designed in 1997 at Omsk as an improvement to the old TOS-1 whose roots go back all the way to the Afghan War. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the TOS-1M Buratino is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As befits its massive rocket launcher installed on the top of a T-90A MBT chassis, its firepower is all but unparalleled and you are looking at perhaps the most destructive vehicle of Armored Warfare. It is available in two configurations – with fast-launching 122mm rockets and the iconic 220mm rockets that can be unlocked either by installing a skin (Koshmar), or by progressing through an active Battle Path.
The TOS-1M is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Koshmar Bundle
Additionally, we've prepared a skin bundle with a new skin. The skin “Koshmar” we have prepared for you is for the TOS-1M Tier 10 Premium TD. Not only is it cool looking, it also unlocks the overprogression modules for you, including the 220mm turret and the 220mm thermobaric rockets. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
The skin is available as a part of the Koshmar Bundle, which contains the following items:
Skin: TOS-1M Koshmar
3 Platinum Loot Crates
500 Gold
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Kurganets-25
The Kurganets-25 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is intended as a cutting edge future replacement to the old BMP series in Russian service. 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. However, the design turned out to be quite expensive and while it is currently undergoing state trials, it is unlikely to be ever mass-produced. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Kurganets-25 is a Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. Even though it offers decent protection and mobility for its class, this vehicle is all about firepower. To make sure you always have the right tool for the job, it comes with three distinctive weapon systems – a 57mm autocannon for light targets, fast and small Bulat missiles for highly mobile targets and, finally, full-sized ATGMs that can defeat pretty much anything on the battlefield. If dealing damage is your thing, few vehicles will match your playstyle better.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Msta-S
The Msta-S SPG was developed as a replacement to the older 2S3 Akatsiya. The goal was to match (or surpass) the newly developed NATO artillery pieces with long 155mm guns. The production began in 1988 and is currently ongoing with a modernized variant rolling out for the Russian military. More than 500 Msta-S SPGs are still in Russian service and dozens were exported to several other countries. It has seen some combat during the Second Chechen War and the War in Donbass. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Msta-S is a Tier 9 Self-Propelled Gun, which makes it only usable in the Global Operations mode and in PvE. It comes with two shell types – a slow-flying one with a high flight arc, and a fast-flying one for use against more mobile targets.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Khrizantema-S
The Khrizantema-S is a dedicated tank hunter, built on a modified BMP-3 hull. The first Khrizantema-S prototype appeared in public as early as 1996 with the initial production variant (9P157) entering service in 2005. Around 2010, an upgraded variant called 9P157-2 appeared with a modernized Ukrainian optics system and a hull machinegun the original model lacked. This variant was in use until 2017. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Khizantema-S is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer. It is quite a stealthy vehicle armed with a twin ATGM launcher. The key to achieving excellent results with this machine is long-range ATGM sniping followed by rapid relocation. The missiles are quite powerful and make hits easy thanks to their excellent performance.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
Gadyuka
The Gadyuka (“Viper”) is a Soviet-era fire support vehicle consisting of a T-72A hull and turret but instead of the main gun, the vehicle is armed with two 30mm autocannons and two rocket pods in order to perform better against infantry in urban and mountainous environments. A single prototype was built in 1996 and even though the project was cancelled, it eventually led to the rise of the BMPT Terminator series. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the Gadyuka is a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer. Despite having only average protection, its two 30mm autocannons can, along with deadly rocket salvos, rip through enemy vehicles with ease. Indeed, the Gadyuka is one of the most destructive vehicles of its Tier and a worthy addition to every player’s arsenal.
This bundle is available in our Web Shop.
