Battle Pass Season 24: “Do It Yourself” and Its Warbond Shop!
Crews often have to operate in the field. When there’s no fully equipped hangar with tools and specialists nearby, resourcefulness and ingenuity come into play! We’re dedicating Battle Pass Season 24 to the makeshift mechanics and resourceful engineers ready for the boldest improvisations. This season’s vehicle rewards were born from improvisation: the Romanian IAR-81 fighter fitted with a Bf 109G engine, and a Somali modification of the Italian FIAT 6616 armored car, equipped with a 57 mm rocket pod!
Unplanned Technical Maintenance
The game may not be available at the moment as we are experiencing some technical issues on our servers. We are endeavouring to fix these issues as quickly as possible.

A Decal and Discounts on the ZTZ96B and Type 69-IIa for PLA Day!
The modern Chinese army traces its history back to August 1st 1927. With the proclamation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) became the nation’s official military force. Even then, the PLA had over four million soldiers in its ranks, more than any other country in the world. While the PLA has remained the largest army throughout its existence, large-scale modernization over the past decade has also transformed it into one of the most technologically advanced as well.

Work-In-Progress: The M7 Tank

Scimitar Strike: Scimitar Mk.2

Try the Korean War “Black Thursday” Event!
The confrontation between North and South Korea that began in 1950 quickly escalated into a large-scale conflict, with the USSR and China supporting one side, and the USA, Great Britain, and several other nations backing the other. The war marked the first time jet aircraft were used on a massive scale. American B-29 Superfortress bombers dominated the Korean skies, but soon they met a new challenge: Soviet MiG-15 fighter jets!
New Run of Nuclear Escalation!
We're excited to present a new iteration of the Nuclear Escalation mode!
Discounts for P.O. Sukhoi’s Birthday!
Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi was born on July 22nd 1895. In the early 1910s, while a student in Gomel, he witnessed a flight by the famous aviator Sergei Utochkin; he loved it so much that he decided to dedicate his life to aircraft design.
