Challenger Tree is a solid one to go for!

Wow~~~
Tier 9 MBTs my dream to catch up.
Anyway did Leopard 2 got "Revolution" armor mod in upgrade?
Cuz coming soon Tier 10 is Leo2 7A+, didn't see "Revolution" on it...

Ive seen a youtube video whereby a Leopard 2 was using the Revolution armor. However that iinm/iirc was either just the Russian server or a test server.

Devs deemed the armor upgrade will make the Leopard 2 OP of some sort. Though it did make the Leopard undeniably cool looking.

However the Leopard 2A6 does get the EX armor (quite the grind and very costly), which increases the front armor (hull and turret) greatly. Sides are still weak though.

From the preview model of the Leopard 2A7+ the side armor was extended to nearly the rear end. Ive seen actual real life pictures where Leopards have additional side armor + cages (for engine ventilation), similar to the Challenger 2.

I see...
I planning to get next Tier 6 MBT,
so looking for Leo tree or Russia T-72A tree.
XM1 should be last to go.
But 1st I have to keep earning "green $$$" for sure.

Before 0.13 and 0.14, using the Leopard 2AV (Tier 6) and Leopard 2 (tier 7) was really hard. The armor was so easily penetrated.

For myself, XM1 and M1 Abrams is the worst for the American line before 0.13 and 0.14, not sure how they fare after that. And the model of the M1 Abrams (Tier 7) is still wrong/off since the OBT started.

British/Challenger line was a breeze after the Chieftain Mk5. Too bad I never had the chance to sample/own the Mk6 Leader.

As for Russian line, learning to use the angled armor of the tank is useful. HP wise, they are the lowest MBT hp pool. Only advantage is the damage output.

Premium helps a little in respect of credit earnings. And with the last few updates, i believe the earning rate is much better. Note that, I am a PVE player due to bad internet connection in Kuching (ping just cant keep up for PVP).

And I have invested in this game for cosmetics and bonus packs (to increase exp/credit income).

So far, my Chinese MBT line is up to tier 6. I am currently working on both tier 7 TDs (i.e. Centauro 120 and LAV-600). Light Tank is up to XM8 (Tier 8) for now, though I hate playing this class in higher tiers. The rest of the recon/AFVs/fire support vehicles are at Tier 5 only.

Only bad thing in PVE is that, the AIs tend to attack or aggro more towards the squishy vehicles. Probably Developers programmed them to respond that way to mimic actual players.

The new PVE maps introduced in 0.14 are huge, eg. Albatross and Cerberus. Complete with sand storm effects.

Unfortunately, I believe Tier 10s will not be coming out any time soon. As a lot of balancing and optimization still needs to be done. I am positive that things will improve with time.

Great review, Alfsaw
Ya, I think is long way to go for the Tier 10 coming out.
My dream MBT "Leopard 2 Revolution" if they make it become Premium tank I will paid for that tank may be.
Seen this game still on OB, hope it keep going live.
Cuz if the players not enough will be close (shut down) in the future...
That why need more players to play this game.
Anyway love modern tank game very much.

Epic month long event is up!

MAINTENANCE - HOTFIX 0.14.1998
On the 12th of April 2016, starting from 08:00 AM CEST (EU server) and 00:00 AM PDT (NA server), the Open Beta servers will not be available for five hours (until approximately 13:00 CEST - 05:00 AM PDT) due to the application of Update 0.14.1998, bringing corrections to some of the critical issues in Armored Warfare.

LIST OF UPDATE 0.14.1998 CHANGES
Frostbite PvE Mission
It's a risky proposition to brave a blizzard in an armored vehicle, but somebody's got to do it. In Operation: Frostbite, you'll find yourself amidst wooded hills that contain a valuable asset; a large oil refinery, the only one of its kind in the region, standing unguarded at the center of the forest. You must defend against invading forces to protect the refinery and its nearby derricks before the resources are lost for good.
Added the Frostbite PvE mission
Fixed an issue where camouflage tooltips incorrectly stated a camouflage pattern would be unlocked for all vehicles after being purchased a set number of times
Fixed an issue where the Base airport bonus was not being properly accounted for when selling retrofits
Fixed an issue where certain MBT hulls could be penetrated through their tracks at extreme angles
Fixed an issue where the M1 Abrams suspension was not properly attached to the hull
Fixed an issue where some of the BMPT Prototype's textures would disappear after being destroyed
Fixed an issue where certain buildings could be shot through
Fixed an issue where tanks would get stuck in the garage listed as "in battle" instead of entering battle properly
Fixed an issue causing the Matchmaker to crash as well as serveral other stability-related bugs

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

0.15 Preview

https://aw.my.com/us/news/general/update-015-preview

Comes with Tier 10 teaser vid

Really good to see that Tier 10 is coming soon after long long beta test.
But... my dream MBT still not in there...
At least hope they doing it in another premium MBT even it was prototype like MBT-70.
Hope it will appear in future.
