Maintenance - August 14

On the 14th of August 2019, starting from 8:00 CEST (13th of August, 11 PM PDT), the server will not be available for 3 hours due to the application of Update 0.29.5642.

Please note that for an hour or two after the launch of the update, you might experience PvP matches with smaller teams than usual. Reduced teams (10v10 or larger) may also appear from now on during hours with lower activity than usual.

Special Operations Improvements

We’ve prepared a number of fixes and improvements for the Moscow Calling Special Operation missions.

For the Hardcore difficulty (up to Tier 8):

• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: increased the time available to capture rocket turret shells from 2 minutes to 3 minutes
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: reduced the number of AI opponents attacking your forces during the phase where you transport Magnus Holter to the commandeered Enigma warship

For the Extreme difficulty (Tier 9 and 10):

• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: increased the amount of rocket turret hitpoints from 4.500 to 5.000
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: increased the time available to capture rocket turret shells from 1 minute to 1.5 minutes
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: increased the time available to capture the control point objective to 3.5 minutes

Both difficulties:

• Moscow Calling Special Operation 1: fixed a rare issue that caused Magnus Holter’s tank to sometimes not spawn
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 3: fixed the missing voiceover in some sections
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 3: fixed an issue that caused the cargo delivery objective circle and its icon to sometimes disappear
• Moscow Calling Special Operation 4: the “Protect Convoy” objective will now automatically mark itself as completed upon the successful completion of the mission

General Changes

• Fixed the infamous mobility issue that caused tracked vehicles to accelerate much slower than intended and to have trouble going uphill or over rough terrain
• Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when shooting at an enemy
• Fixed an issue that caused the T-72AV MBT to go missing from your Garage
• Leclerc: stock smoke grenades no longer have better properties than the improved ones
• Leclerc T40: this vehicle can now deploy smoke all around it (360 degrees smoke grenade launchers)
• M8 Buford: fixed an issue that caused the tank to take too long to stop after stopping to press the forward button
• M-95 Degman: improved its mantlet thickness, roof and hull armor in such a way that it is no longer possible to fire HE shells at it with a full damage roll
• Type 85-IIM: fixed an issue that caused Flags to not appear on this vehicle
• Changed the shade of the base color rewarded for the Moscow Triumph achievement because it was resembling a another base color too much
• Since ammo costs are no longer a thing in Armored Warfare, we have removed shell costs from the Garage UI
