Vehicles in Focus: Type 59
Not so long ago, we’ve re-introduced the Chinese Type 59 Main Battle Tank to Armored Warfare and it’s time to take a look at its history in more detail.
The Type 59 started as a license-produced variant of the Soviet T-54A medium tank. Before their relations deteriorated, the Soviet Union and China were closely cooperating on reviving and improving the Chinese heavy industry in the 1950s. One of the results of this cooperation was the start of the Chinese import of first the T-34 medium tank (designated Type 58 in Chinese service), then of the T-54A and later on the production of its copy, the Type 59.
The Type 59 was first introduced to the public during the great Chinese national parade in 1959 and the mass production ran until the 1980s, with an estimated 10 thousand vehicles with various modifications produced. The original model production, however, only took place between 1957 and 1960 in Baotou (located in the Beijing military area).
The Type 59 was also heavily exported to third world countries and saw several conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq war and the Gulf War. The biggest export customer was Pakistan with roughly 1200 modified Type 59 tanks purchased and later heavily upgraded to the Al Zarrar model. The second biggest customer was apparently Albania that, albeit being a European country, favored China over the Soviet Union due to ideological differences with the Soviets (over 700 purchased). Some 350 went to Vietnam and Iran and Iraq got roughly 200 each (and yes, they were used by both sides during the war).
The tank generally did not perform all too well (just like other obsolete Soviet equipment such as the T-54/55 variants) but in low intensity conflicts, it is still completely capable of turning the tide of any battle, especially against irregular forces not equipped with specialized anti-tank weaponry. The Chinese continued to develop the Type 59 for several decades and only the most modern of the People’s Republic of China Main Battle Tanks do not have their roots in the venerable Type 59.
In Armored Warfare, the Type 59 Tier 1 MBT is the beginning of the Zhang Feng progression line.
It is reasonably well armored and packs quite a punch in the form of its 100mm rifled cannon that deals the most damage per shot out of all Tier 1 vehicles. However, it also fires the slowest and as a result the vehicle does deal less damage per minute than the other Tier 1s.
But the best news is, you don’t have to do anything to unlock it – you start with this tank right off the bat and it takes only a little effort to unlock the Type 69 MBT, which is its Tier 2 follow-up.
We hope that both new and old commanders are enjoying this MBT in the game and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!

Offer: Asian Week
Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
Between January 27 and February 3, 2022, the following items will be available:
MPF with Tiger Skin
The General Dynamics Light Tank prototype is one of the contenders in the U.S. Mobile Protected Firepower program to replace the Stryker platform in the fire support role for the U.S. Airborne forces. It is one of very few modern Light Tanks in existence. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.
In Armored Warfare, the MPF is a Tier 10 Premium Light Tank. Within its class, it’s one of the heaviest and the best protected specimen with its hull protected by NERA armor capable of absorbing damage in the initial stages of battle. With its powerful 120mm gun and decent mobility, it is a decent front-line fighter, holding its own even in the thickest of fighting.
The MPF Tier 10 Premium LT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Additionally, we are separately offering the Tiger skin for this vehicle in a bundle, which includes:
Time to awake the Tiger in you!
Type 99A2-140
The Type 99A2-140 is an experimental version of the most advanced Chinese Main Battle Tank in existence – the Type 99A. Unlike its production counterpart, however, it is not armed with a 125mm smoothbore, but massive 140mm smoothbore cannon. This is a theoretical upgrade to the vehicle – while the People’s Republic of China was considering upgrading the firepower of its Main Battle Tanks to face latest western and Russian MBT models, a 140mm gun was never installed on this chassis and was only mentioned in passing by certain Chinese sources. Now, however, your enemies will have the opportunity to experience what such a vehicle with you in command would be like to face in battle!
In Armored Warfare, the Type 99A2-140 is a rather unique Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is essentially a version of the progression Type 99A2 Tier 10 MBT with one difference – the 140mm gun, trading its rate of fire for penetration and single shell damage. It is very fast and mobile (with its maximum speed being well over 90 km/h), protected by ERA and APS both and capable of using an acceleration-boosting active ability that pushes its engine far beyond the limits of common Main Battle Tanks. If used right, the vehicle is extremely deadly and one of the best Tier 10 MBTs on the battlefields of Armored Warfare.
The Type 99A2-140 MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.
Additionally, we are separately offering the Firedrake skin for this vehicle in a bundle, which includes:
Black Lantern Skin for K2
The Black Lantern skin is inspired by the Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms epic and, more specifically, the Five Tiger Generals expression, thus tying in to the Year of the Tiger and Lantern Festival celebrations. Its combination of black and red will leave both your enemies and allies in awe.
This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the K2 Black Panther MBT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game.
Voidstorm Skin for K21 XC-8
Protect your K21 XC-8 Tier 10 Light Tank against the void with this epic brand-new skin featuring black and grey livery. But beware, for no amount of seals can guarantee you victory. That responsibility falls to you alone.
This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the K21 XC-8 LT itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game. Please also note that this skin currently has an incorrect name in the game.
Ox Skin for Type 99A2
This older skin will cover your Type 99A2 progression MBT with Ox imagery as the year 2021 was the year of the Ox. It’s rarely available on the market and now’s your chance to get your hands on it (and with a major discount no less)!
This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the Type 99A2 itself. This tank needs to be obtained via progression directly in the game. Furthermore, if you have this skin already, you will not receive any compensation.
Lucky Pig Skin for AFT-10
This is another older, rare skin that will cover your AFT-10 Premium TD with Pig imagery as the year 2019 was the year of the Pig. It’s rarely available on the market and now’s your chance to get your hands on it (and with a major discount).
This skin is available in a bundle along with the following items:
Please note that the bundle includes the skin but not the AFT-10 itself. This Tank Destroyer needs to be obtained separately, presumably from Loot Crates. As such, this bundle is only valuable to players who already have this vehicle.
VT-5 Dragon
The VT-5 Dragon is a special version of the VT-5 with a beautiful red and gold paint scheme. The vehicle itself 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.
Type 96B Red Dragon
The Type 96B MBT, as its name suggests, is an evolution of the Type 96A, featuring such elements as an upgraded fire control system and a much more powerful engine, resulting in considerably better mobility and speed. Unlike the Type 96A, however, the Type 96B is a prototype, designed for the Chinese military team to use during the annual Tank Biathlon event in Russia. In 2017, the Chinese team won the second place, being defeated only by Russia. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!
In Armored Warfare, the Type 96B is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. Gameplay-wise, it’s very agile and fast for its class and uses advanced ammunition, making it highly suitable for players who prefer mobility over armor protection, even though it can take a lot of punishment as well.
Object 187 Dragon
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.
Wars of the Past Loot Crate
The Wars of the Past Loot Crate is now available. This Loot Crate contains Wars of the Past Battle Coins and Boosters.
Please note that you have to obtain the access to a Battle Path to use both items.
Also please note that you may not purchase more than 30 loot crates of one type per day.
We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!

Offer: American Firepower
Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:
Between January 20 and 27, 2022, the following items will be available:
CATTB
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.
Bradley AAWS-H
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.
Abrams AGDS
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!
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.

See you on the battlefield!
