Gamescom 2014 - one of the most important games exhibitions of the year has ended. The developers of Armored Warfare were keen to share information about the game with all their stand visitors and to clarify many aspects of interest to future players.
The project presentation provided details about the main classes of equipment in the game, the dealers and progression as well as one of the PVE missions.
The developers also, most importantly, announced the approximate CBT start time, which will be the first quarter of 2015. At that point the community will be able to try out Armored Warfare and participate in project improvements, sharing their opinon and leaving their comments after testing.
Equipment classes
Main Battle Tanks – high damage and armor tanks. These advantages are offset by relatively low maneuverability and speed, as well as their large size, making main battle tanks the most prominent targets on the battlefield. Of the main battle tanks in the game the British FV4034 and Russian T-80 were presented.
Artillery - restricted mobility vehicles designed for long range battle. A powerful weapon providing a satellite view of the battlefield. Has weak armor. Of the artillery in the game the American M109A6 was presented.
Light Tanks & Recon- quick accelerating vehicle with long range surveillance and a low silhouette. Have weak armour and low power armament. Of the reconnaisance vehicles the German Wiesel, American M1128 MGS and Stingray 2, which are light tanks, were presented.
Tank Destroyers - fast vehicles with powerful armor piercing weapons and their own weak armor. American LAV-600 and M1128 MGS were presented at the exhibition.
You can read more about dealers and hardware progression in our earlier articles. In addition, developers spoke a little about upgrades to specific vehicles. As shown in the screenshots, players can upgrade tank modules, change armor type and open additional options - for example, smoke grenades.
PVE mission
Players face battle in an oil field. The mission is aimed at teams of four. The mission demonstrates major and minor tasks. The main task is to destroy enemy bunkers with ammunition. The minor task is to destroy enemy air defense systems. Individual subtasks are determined randomly and depend on the vehicle selected.
We would also like to draw your attention to new screenshots that were specially made for the exhibition. These clearly demonstrate the vehicles players will use in battle in Armored Warfare.
