A Puma over here, a T-62A over there


In case you haven't heard, during the month of March, if you play Armored Warfare on the NA/EU servers and put in some time in PvP mode, you too could collect a tier IV BWP-1M Puma. You can read the lengthy discussion of how to earn it and the playerbase reaction here https://aw.my.com/en/forum/showthread.php?64959-Introducing-March-Madness 44 pages at last count.


However, that isn't what is pictured above, is it? No, it is not. Over on the RU server, an all new event is under way for something called the T-64A Hunter. Here is what is known; it's a tier V Main Battle Tank that was last seen long before I came on the scene. The current ingame comparison would be the tier V T-72 Ural and tier VI T-72A, except start with the tier IV T-64. Confused? Yeah, me too, thinking that one up.


Through the power of Google Translate and some pictures, I have figured out, in order to collect one, you have to build up an ingame friends list, invite them to platoon and fight to build up a bank of points. Once the threshold is reached and some time passes, a T-62A Hunter magically appears in the garage. Read about it here https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://aw.mail.ru/news/3264.html&usg=ALkJrhgiDzW7eniE-G1YtZlrkm_yNPGkcA and in the original form https://aw.mail.ru/news/3264.html&usg=ALkJrhgiDzW7eniE-G1YtZlrkm_yNPGkcA

Now, this is all well and good, but I won't get my hopes up too high. See, when the Puma event took place on the RU server, the requirements were five tasks:

5 victories in a Light Tank.
5 victories in a Armored Fighting Vehicle.
5 victories in an Artillery piece.
5 victories in a Tank Destroyer.
5 victories in a Main Battle Tank.

These tasks could be completed in either PvP and/or PvE.

However, those conditions were changed drastically once they crossed into the NA/EU domain. So much so, I am not even going to attempt trying for it. 


This time, I see something that intrigues me again on another server, but already disappointed the rules will be changed before it gets it's unveiling here.

That is, if it even makes it over.
