Update 0.160 Now Available

Commanders!

We are happy to announce that the Update 0.160 is now available!

Tales from the Dark Battle Path

We are rolling out a new four-month-long Battle Path featuring a lot of exciting content, including the following prizes:

• T-90M Proryv Tier 10 Premium MBT
• BMP-2M Tier 9 Premium AFV
• BTR-82A Tier 8 Premium AFV
• Epic skins
• Numerous camouflages

And much more!

The prizes can be explored in this article and you can read about the entire Battle Path in our dedicated article. Connected to the topic are also the changes on the content you might have seen already:

• T-90M Proryv now has a special hard-kill APS that can intercept two incoming ATGMs at once
• BMP-2M gained an overprogression module that allows it to launch two missiles at once (however, this module is mutually exclusive with thermobaric ATGMs)
• BTR-82A has a double launch module as well (but we did mention it in the article where we unveiled it)
• Disabled the Drone Jamming ability on all three vehicles as it does nothing right now without the drones available to players

Please note that the chain missions are temporarily disabled. They will return with the next update. We apologize for the inconvenience.
