Hello, the blog is 10 years old now. It will continue to keep going, however I would advise you to mainly use the World of Tanks category from now on when reading, as there will be lots of sponsored articles at once (50+) for a while. (or just scroll down) Thank you for being here with us all this time!
If you have any suggestions I am happy to hear them.
The game is still alive. Weekend news are low, so I hope you don’t mind something different once in a while. Source: AW Portal
We are happy to announce that the Asian-themed Spirithaven season is now available!
The core of the Spirithaven season is a new set of Asian (mostly Japanese and Korean) vehicles as well as the continuation of the Special Operations storyline, but also the addition and improvements of various aspects of the game. Here’s what’s new:
The following vehicles are initially available:

I will make this rather personal, as this is mostly letter is dedicated to You, our readers. Continue reading “PSA: Armored Patrol 2.0 Project – Things going forward into 2020.”
As a possible sign of things to come, it was announced on 11 February by Polish CM MaciekM4a4 that the Polish AW Discord section will be closed on 15 February (today), the users being redirected to the English channels. The same fate is also to be shared by the Polish AW Facebook page and MaciekM4a4 himself resigned from the CM function. The game and articles on the main page will still be available in Polish.

On the 25th of September, 2015, Pro Optica S.A. and MFA S.A. Mizil, two prominent Romanian defense companies, filed a patent for a new variant of the MLI-84M. The five inventors who were credited on the patent were Lespezeanu Ion, Jipa Vasile, Oțelea Traian, Șerbănescu Paul, and Mareș Marcel. This MLI-84M variant is equipped with a 120mm mortar and carries some unique features. There is no real name given to this variant, however, MFA’s official website has it listed under “Future Military products”, but the link leads to a couple of images of the MLVM variant with a 120mm mortar, a MLVM variant which MFA has deemed as one of their “Past Military products”.

MFA’s website refers to it as “120mm Mortar on MLI-84M chassis” and the patent refers to it as ‘Mașina de Luptă cu Sistem de Armament Tip Aruncator Calibru 120mm, Integrat’ which translates in English to ‘Fighting Vehicle with a 120mm Caliber Mortar Type Armament System’.
The purpose of this vehicle is to support ground forces directly by ensuring the annihilation and neutralization of enemy personnel, equipment, and positions using its 120mm mortar. In addition, the invention brings an increase of firepower, precision, mobility, and modularity. Presumably, compared to the 120mm mortar carrying MLVM variant which it may or may not be replacing.
So far, whether the vehicle design has been built, still in development, or the project was scrapped entirely is unknown.
