Modern APFSDS Ammunition Fix
In Armored Warfare, there is a type of APFSDS ammunition that’s called “modern” – vehicles with these kinetic shells are able to defeat a single layer of ERA (much like tandem HEAT warheads).
Previously, the only way how to tell the vehicle’s kinetic shell has this property was to check the Traits section of the vehicle’s description. As a result, very few players knew about it because the shells themselves still showed as standard shells. In this update, we have created two new ammunition categories:
- APFSDS-M (Modern APFSDS)
- APFSDS-MDU (Modern APFSDS with Depleted Uranium penetrator)
And we have assigned the appropriate shells to these categories. This concerns the following vehicles (and their Premium variants):
- AbramsX
- M1A2C
- M8-120 Thunderbolt II
- T-14 Armata (125mm only)
- T-90M Proryv
- TTB
- XM1A3
Please note that the localization of this feature might not be finished at release and will be added in the next update.
Additional Vehicle Fixes and Updates

- Fixed an issue where parts of multiple vehicles disappeared (BMPT guns, parts of C13 TUA launcher etc.)
- Ajax: Fixed the Desert Ajax skin textures under the turret
- M8-120 Thunderbolt II: Vehicle now uses the turret-mounted M2 Browning instead of the incorrectly modeled coaxial machinegun (the damage and penetration will be adjusted in the next update to correspond to its correct 12.7mm caliber)

- Merkava Mk.4M: Troop compartment module now has a correct icon
