Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/update-0280-now-available Not mentioned in patch notes, but the Seahawks Battle Path has been extended to 1st April Today's update also fixes last week's login bonus issue Many tier 7-10 single shot gun TDs now have quick ammo switch, but those with ready racks or clip remain unchanged. Palmaria's collision fix occurred last month, but is mentioned here again.

The three Type 96B Biathlon skins have been around for several years. The Rosomak's Wing Hussar skin is teased on the official Twitter account in January. SS initially claimed that we're not getting that particular skin as it's "definitely copyrighted". The in-game skin still looks somewhat similar, but not quite the same.

Claiming daily gold is done from the game itself, but players have to click on the button to get it. If you miss a day then the 300 gold for that day is lost. The weekend special event is a "ladder-like event' according to SS. Opening web shop interface via the game will show the old account transfer message from 2024, and login bonus interface may not appear. The server person Anihillator states "the main 'solution' was to just open the game and wait for like 3-4 minutes before opening the shop window, so you'd get logged in".

The previous week's patch(es) accidentally re-introduced "mission stacking" to contract missions, where it is possible to complete daily and weekly missions back to back with no cooldown in between. It has now been reverted so there's a fixed cooldown after you finish a contract mission, regardless of how much time you take to complete it. However, SS says the devs do want to re-introduce this feature in a proper way:

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/upcoming-contract-bmp-1am-basurmanin Comments from SS in official Discord server: New contract and vehicle ETA mid-March The turret is re-used (from BTR-82A), but hull is new, because old BMP-1 model is "ancient, unusable" When asked if old models will get updated, his response is "perhaps in the future"

A new patch is released 2 days later to address the missing contract issue. Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/update-02705-now-available

Since the Repair Zone is closely related to the Borsuk, I decide to put its content here instead of making another thread for it. Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/developer-diary-repair-zone In short: Repair Zone has an object (boxes + piles of parts) with 1000 HP but cannot be instantly destroyed via ramming Vehicles need to stay still inside the circle for repair to work Aside from restoring HP, other aspects such as repair speed or module repair are still TBD Repair Zone has no spotting range (i.e. cannot spot), but it has own camouflage value

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/update-0270-now-available Some players have lost access to Seasonal Contract missions. SS said on official Discord server that the devs are now working on a fix, and the contract will be extended accordingly. The Typhoon-VDV now appears in the global vehicle directory and players can test drive it. Unknown if it's first introduced in this patch, but some vehicles now have air burst HE rounds. Examples include AGDS, Derivatsiya, EBRC Jaguar, Draco, Gepard, Lynx Prototype (both 30mm and 35mm), Otomatic, Puma, and T249.

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/development-knifv-nlos-lps There are concerns that this vehicle will powercreep the AFT-10 (which just got a buff last month), SS states that the KNIFV's launchers stay pointing up for both firing modes, and only lower down during reload, hence players have to be more strategic than when playing with the AFT-10.

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/development-borsuk Comments from SS: The repair zone can also repair the parent vehicle (i.e. the Borsuk that deploys the structure itself) as well as other teammate vehicles, but it won't be usable by enemies As an entity it will behave similarly to VN20's turret, and it can be spotted by anyone It will disappear upon destruction or when the parent vehicle respawns

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/update-0260-now-available This update also shortens the currencies' displayed numbers by showing K, M, and B for thousands, millions, and billions. On the other hand, there are reports that seasonal contract missions do not work properly: contract mission UI may not show missions as completed after and on cooldown after completion, but it may just be a UI problem, as they are still being counted towards contract vehicles' upgrade unlock progression. T-64BV 2017's gun elevation and depression stats are now narrowed down to -2 and 10 degrees respectievly in this update.

Source: https://armoredwarfare.com/en/news/general/development-typhoon-vdv This vehicle will debut as a loot crate vehicle, but it may also be available via BP shop and contests later in the future. As for the passive ability, SS says they may take a look at it, implying the details are not final.
