It's an easy objective, just deal ANY damage from 300m+ and submit. Don't even worry about the competition.

 

LOL thank god this missions isn't mandatory, staying 300m+ away is anathema to my playstyle. I went thru the dossier to maybe find few games where I did some long-range damage and I think my best was something like 1000.

Commanders!

The Apocalypse season concludes with the fourth and final major content pack, Update 0.37 “Seal of Frost”

 

 

Here’s what you can look forward to right now:

 

SPECIAL OPERATION “DEATH”

 

The fourth and final mission of the Apocalypse Special Operation awaits you in this update.

The mission of the Apocalypse arc takes place in Batumi, a city that froze over following the supervolcano explosion, which took place at the end of the Spirithaven arc. In it, Igor Kopylov and Ivo Rinaldi encounter another person from Rinaldi’s dark past.

In this mission, your squad will be separated into two teams that have to cooperate with each other to survive. Coordination is the key to success, making this mission easy to learn but difficult to master. As usual, this mission comes with its own set of new achievements and rewards.

As an additional feature, any player who completed at least one Apocalypse Special Operation (that is, Plague, War and Famine) in the past will have immediate access to the “Death” Special Operation via a new button in the Garage UI.

 

NEW CONTRACT

 

Update 0.37 “Seal of Frost” is also bringing a new Contract with a special new reward – the Argentinian TAM 2IP Tier 7 Premium Light Tank replacing the T-90A Burlak.

This Light Tank will come with a brand-new special ability called Laser Lock, significantly increasing your accuracy over a short period of time. On the downside, activating this ability will make the TAM 2IP illuminate its target with a laser visible to all players on the battlefield even if you aren’t spotted. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.

However, please note that the new contract will not be available upon delay. For the sake of quality, we have decided to prolong the Burlak contract for a few more days to ensure the vehicle will reach you properly tested and balanced as well as to give you some more time to finish your older contract. The TAM 2IP contract will launch after September 30, 2021.

Patchnotes:

AGDS and K1 ammo buff, finally! But overall nice changes.

They will never learn not to put stupid gamebreaking tanks in special events? So now every battle is absolutely infested with Mod. 2017s and Ramkas making PvE really frustrating. Fix those goddamn things already, put them at tier 10 or something.

Is it just my imagination, or does the TAM 2IP chassis look a bit like a CV90??

 

TAM is built on Marder IFV chassis so that's probably why it seems familiar.

Speaking of, it's still weird we don't have Marder or AMX-10P in game (I know, AMX used to be ingame as tier 2-3 IFV but was removed) and both of those were built in thousands, while we have a ton of weird one-off cold war prototypes (*cough*XM247*cough*)

"set of major improvements to Armored Warfare’s PvE" seems ominous.

I found the CV90 Mk IV is really beastly in PvE. Basically, K21 autocannon with Hunter ATGMs on a decent tier 8 chassis.

When you have two low tiers and each one runs away to opposite side of the map and spend entire battle chatting in russian, Marder that takes 8k damage and does 2k you'd think it's all over. But then this absolute legend in Ramka shows up and you two do the heavy lifting.

May your vodka be pure, your Adidas tracksuits original and your teeth unbroken, drug newa19771.

History cuts off at 14/6 but you can guess I did the same thing before that. So yeah, @Silentstalker, if you are reading this, can you check it out?

All of your battles in eligible vehicles should count. I didn't have any Modern Euro or Modern Russian, so I had to grind T72 and T72A.... and I made the list for the next phase.  Schlock, I am guessing that your IGN is different from your tag here because I didn't see a Schlock on the sinners list.... so you may have to check the list yourself to make sure you are there.

Nah, my IGN the same, and I checked and I'm not in the winner's list despite doing more than 80 games in Ariete and Leclerc. And it is getting really frustrating to have to deal with AW support for every single thing.

Sooo, I guess if you played 80+ battles in Euro MBTs they don't count? And good bye storyline campaing?

Also, I would move K1A1 up. It is absolute murder machine in PvE with its 8.3k DPM with HEAT at tier 7.

Yeah, I asked support several times over few days should I dispute paypal charge so I don't lose my money but received absolutely no answer. And then the package just showed up in my inventory after a week or so, and I still haven't got an answer at all.

So yeah, you can't ask them what to do when they simply do not answer for days.

Hell, ten minutes after I posted this thread, my BC package shows up in my inventory.

Still, a word of warning - if you use paypal it may take some time before goods show up

So, this may be in the wrong section of the forums, but can't find a better one right now.

I did a stupid thing and threw some money towards my.com for battlepath package with coins. That was six days ago, and still nothing. No access, nothing in mycom store inventory, no transaction noted in market history. Opened a support ticked, I got a default "we are checking shit out, be cool" message back and no response for last four days, despite my occasional prodding.  I mean, I can always opet a dispute with paypal to get my money back, but that seems a bit excessive.

Anyone else had similar problems?

I think it's a bit late to start now.

Is there a way to track progress in storyline campaign? I mean, I can track my own progress by counting battles, but can I see how is it going overall?

Brimstones are basically Hellfires that took growth hormones so yeah, 120mm rifled + (I guess) two 1,200 damage ATGMs

A new progression line is theoretically possible, but honestly, how will you convince the devs it's worth it when you have models that are on one hand super expensive and on the other hand bring little? Especially the low Tiers, anything below Tier 5 is money thrown out of the window.

Give them models simple to produce, for example M150 TOW vehicle, M113 model exists, TOW launcher as well. M901 ITV, again M113 exists, TUA launcher exists on C13 as well. Make it tier 7, give it good view range because RL vehicle had really good thermals for its time.

AMX-13 SS-11 is another example from the top of my head, you have AMX-13 chassis in game, turret would take some work but it would make a quite unique vehicle.

Pereh is another, it is built on a Magach 5 hull and modified turret. NLOS missiles would probably take some balancing but it is not impossible. Namer IFV variant could be another vehicle, Merkava 4 hull and 30mm + Spike unmanned turret.

Still, those are just some ideas from the top of my head, you probably heard them all before.

I like overprogression vehicles, like WoWS premiums for free xp.

Thanks for the answer.

Sooo, new progression vehicles? Assuming you can talk about it.

I mean, at the moment I imagine there is going to be a struggle to get new tanks into the game without some 'paper tanks' being made?

I mean, there are soooooo many AFV designs right now you could build three or four full T1-T10 vehicle lines plus assorted premiums using only vehicles in active service or developmental vehicles.

But I see why SS is being frustrated, but at least the model follows the laws of pyhsics unlike some WoT designs.

Soooo... it probably won't be new BP reward but standard lootbox premium, but it looks fun. Especially with that stupid camo.

But if I hide global chat how can argue with boomers, wehraboos and PvP elitists?

Not to mention that when you say that you need x amount of damage and be the top one of your team, it promotes players to go out and be stupid at the expense of the rest of the team.

Precisely. Kill mission in particular force you to play like an asshole, especially "get Destroyer medal" ones.

That's too bad... I'd have loved to have gotten some of those skins.  They're very nice.

But this Raid format requires far too much grinding for me to be able to complete it.  It's ridiculous, so I won't even bother.  Perhaps I'll manage to complete 10 contracts before it's over and get the free Tier 5.

It's not just grind, it is the worst combo of grind + RNG. Do 250k damage in a tier 3-6 LT, okay, fine. But then they also add requirement to be top in damage for a game to count so you have to hope there won't be a XM247, or Marder, or Ramka or some other stupidly overpowered bullshit tank on your team. And there usually is one of those so why bother?

Devs don't play their own game.

I've said the same thing before last raid and got flamed by SS so it shows how much they don't give a shit.

For the sake of archiving information:

Today's changelog did not mention the addition of new flag decals and banners. Some of them were mentioned in the Syrian historical camouflage page.

As per SS' reply on Discord, the following flags are added to the game: Syria, Iraq (new/current), Iraq (old, 1963-1991), Lebanon, Egypt

Wow, thanks for that. I got TKed and pushed around because I put Jordanian flag on my tanks, back when there was teamdamage in PvE. Also, Russians really, really hate EU flags on russian tanks, and there was some dude with "USMC" in his name who got really angry at me for putting UN symbol on XM1A3.

Also, I remember in old WoT test server you could put Ukrainan flag and "Donbass avenger" on russian tanks. Much anger was harvested.
