Age Of Rage Plan

Now that Age of Rage is active in Armored Warfare, the countdown clock is already ticking away for when the event ends.

I am going to stick to my original plan of waiting it out and playing as usual (time permitting), despite the "cheap for Gold" price to buy into just starting the missions. However, I do see a decent deal for the more expensive package, once I factored in all the vehicles, Gold returned, crates and other goodies.

Even without buying into the event, I can still collect BattleCoins and bank them up, cashing in when the time is just right to do so.

Yup and so far, the plan is working out just fine.

Moscow Calling, Part 2

Well, my first attempt at Chapter 2 in Moscow Calling for Armored Warfare ended in defeat.

I felt confident with picking my "tried and true" tier VII Challenger 1 Wolf British premium MBT, but I discovered it wasn't the most appropriate selection for this particular battle. 

To be more precise, the end phase of this mission, called Castle.

The upside is I earned a few crates and BattleCoins for the new Age of Rage campaign. 

The downside is I thought I had learned a few lessons from the initial encounter and applied that new found knowledge only to repeat the same result with my tier VIII BMPT Terminator Reaper....

Moscow Calling, Chapter 1

It's not like I didn't know there was going to be another update, right after Moscow Calling was put out on the Live Armored Warfare Unified Server, but I still wasn't thrilled to go through the process.

Despite the lack of an enthusiastic tone in my voice as this video starts out, the course of the battle begins to win over my tiredness....

Moscow Calling Had Landed!

In case you didn't know, Update 0.29, also known as Moscow Calling, has gone Live on Armored Warfare Unified Server.

However, with having a long workday, being a rather large update (coming in at 6.6 gigs) and another addition being added tomorrow (download size: unknown), I will temporally hold off playing until all the components are installed and done.

Made A Liar Outta Me

I think there is one vehicle in Armored Warfare that players just don't click with.

For me, it's been the tier VI C13 TUA Italian tank destroyer. Despite being fully upgraded with an emphasis on a speedier reload, top missile configuration and other improvements, it has been a bit of a dud for me.

In fact, I was so confident I was going to have another "not-so-pleasant-time" in this Italian tin can, I started to roll the capture software....

Je ne peux même pas...

The next campaign for Armored Warfare is called Moscow Calling and if you want a sneak peek into things to come (subject to final changes and further balancing of course), you can download the Public Test Server client by following the information here.

Now, you might be asking yourself about the French title for this article and here's my explanation.

One of the vehicles I knew was coming in Update 0.29 was to be the tier IX Leclerc T40 premium tank destroyer, built in real life by GIAT (now Nexter) of France. I have been waiting for this machine ever since it was announced over a year ago and following the developmental details since. Nevertheless, once I saw this vehicle was included on the PTS server (even with the visual issues you can see above), I wanted to test out the mechanics under battle conditions and not at lifeless, stationary targets at Alabino Polygon....

Now, I fully understand this isn't the final version of this particular vehicle and changes could occur in relation to firepower, armor and mobility, but I am not impressed with this first outing with it.

Because 'MERICA!, Part 2

For those of you who are American, Happy Flag Day! To mark the occasion, Armored Warfare has a giveaway and a few special that might be worth looking at (actually started a few days ago, but real life has happened and I am only getting to this now). Check out those details here and there.

Coincidentally, President Donald Trump also turns 73 years old too (born on June 14, 1946)!

To tie all of this together (except the Trump part) before I drop Because 'MERICA!, Part 3 (should take place in early July, for obvious reasons), I take a battle spin in the M1A1 Abrams Storm premium tier VII American MBT....
