Commanders,
We´ve published a new update of our game, this time focusing on modern tank warfare.
Our new Modern Era expansion brings unparalleled authenticity to the battlefield, meticulously aligning gameplay with historical reality. Each vehicle is categorized into tiers based on its actual years of active service within NATO and Russian (formerly Soviet) armed forces, ensuring that Cold War legends and 21st-century powerhouses meet their true historical counterparts.
M48A3 Patton
The M48A3 Patton was a definitive mid-Cold War upgrade that addressed the primary weakness of earlier M48 models by replacing the volatile gasoline engine with a Continental AVDS-1790-2 V12 diesel engine. This modification significantly increased the tank's operational range and reduced the risk of catastrophic fires, while the integration of the M17 coincidence rangefinder and an improved fire control system enhanced the accuracy of its 90mm M41 rifled gun. Though it lacked the 105mm gun of the later M60, the M48A3 became the backbone of American armored operations during the Vietnam War.
How to play this tank in our game? Move and reposition fast between shots; distance is your friend due to weaker armor.
T-55A
The T-55A represented a significant evolutionary step in Soviet armored design, introducing comprehensive anti-nuclear radiation protection through the POV plastic lead-impregnated liner, which notably altered the tank's internal layout and turret silhouette. This variant maintained the iconic 100mm D-10T2S rifled gun with two-plane stabilization, allowing for effective fire on the move, while the removal of the bow machine gun increased internal ammunition storage. Produced in massive quantities across the Warsaw Pact, the T-55A became a symbol of Cold War military might, prized for its mechanical simplicity, low profile, and ease of maintenance in diverse combat theaters from the sands of the Middle East to the plains of Central Europe.

AMX-30B
The AMX-30B was the primary main battle tank of the French Army during the Cold War, designed around a philosophy that prioritized mobility and firepower over heavy protection. Developed under the belief that modern anti-tank projectiles had rendered heavy armor obsolete, French engineers focused on a sleek, lightweight hull and an impressive top speed. Its primary armament, the 105 mm Modèle F1 rifled gun, was optimized for the specialized Obus G HEAT round.

T-62
The T-62 was a groundbreaking Soviet main battle tank designed to outmatch Western armor, featuring the world’s first mass-produced 115mm smoothbore gun. While it retained the low profile of the T-55, it utilized a larger hull and a redesigned turret to fire high-velocity APFSDS rounds. It served for decades as a backbone of Soviet armored forces.
