Thanks toĀ Sams_Baneblade for sending me this. He recieved this e-mail from AW:

————————————–
He redeemed the code and recieved all the promised content. Seems that AW got it a bit wrong, the e-mail was sent only 2 hours after his last PVE session.
UPDATE:

I (Sams_Baneblade) received this today:
———————————————————
Dear Commander!
We hope this e-mail finds you well.
You recently received a reactivation e-mail with a code that has since been deactivated. Unfortunately, this was due to a technical dysfunction on our mailing list.
To compensate for the inconvenience, and to thank you for your continued involvement in Armored Warfare, we would like to invite you to log in game and receive 3 days of premium time as a free reward.
Thank you, once again, for your commitment, and see you soon on the battlefields.
The Armored Warfare Team.
—————————————————–
But because I already redeemed the code BEFORE its cancellation, I kept the stuff and received 3 more premium days!17 prem days for free. GG AW! šŸ˜€

AW Backfires

E-mailed by Garry
Seems that AW cannot keep their promises… No paper tanks you said!

But AW made a complete new tank from proposed upgrades (click to enlarge):

Well, seems like their logic is pretty clear in this, if you gather all the existing parts to create a non-existing tank and not call that as paper tank because the materials are historical. What an irony!

World of Tanks is Dying

WoT is not that popular anymore, it seems. It used to have a bigger buzz back in the day, statistics say.
I know. The title may scare you, but it is true. I did a simple research using Google Trends and it shows that the peak search interest WoT had was in 2013, and from there it slowly decreased to about a half.
Also, WoWS is not doing too well either; its popularity is small compared to the one World of Tanks still has.
Note: the statistics are global. WoT is still going strong in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, by the way, just like AW does.
I also made some screen captures of War Thunder, World of Warplanes & Armored Warfare.
First: AW vs WoT: WoT wins by a HUGE margin.

Second: AW.

Third: War Thunder versus World of Warplanes.

And the last: World of Tanks versus World of Warships (note: the red bar is categorized by Google as the ā€žonline gameā€, while the yellow is the search term;)

What do you think?
 
 
 

Armored Warfare: PL-01 Teaser


Seems that my.com and Obsidian attacked the Polish playerbase again. This time, they succeeded attracting Poles to AW using their own tank: the sci-fi-looking PL-01. What can I say, it is a beautiful tank. AW maybe has a chance in the future if they keep implementing European tanks, I might play it even if just for a TR-85M1. :p
