Introducing the Neon Vehicles

Commanders!

We’ve done quite a bit of time travelling recently, haven’t we? In the 2030s, we’re helping the Seahawks reach their final destination in the Storyline Campaign, Special Operations take place in the 2040s and we’ve also been running in the 90s with the Drift King contest.

And now it’s time to put on your best shiny jacket while playing some synth tunes on your stereo because we’re jumping straight into the 1980s with our brand-new Neon vehicles!

The Neon vehicle edition, available between December 22, 2017 and January 3, 2018, consists of the following three premium vehicles:

• ZBD-86 Tier 3 Armored Fighting Vehicle
• RDF-LT Tier 6 Light Tank
• M60-2000 Tier 7 Main Battle Tank

Despite their shiny appearance, these vehicles also come with a camouflage bonus like other special vehicle editions – think of it as them hiding behind their amazing appearance!

Insignia bundles will also be available to boost your progress and, last but not least, during the period of this offer, Premium Time will be available with the following discounts:

• 30 days of Premium Time with 18% discount
• 90 days of Premium Time with 20% discount
• 180 days of Premium Time with 25% discount
• 365 days of Premium Time with 33% discount

The ZBD-86 (also known as WZ-501 or Type 86 IFV) is a Chinese unlicensed copy of the Soviet BMP-1, acquired from Egypt in the 1980s. The vehicle is practically identical to its Soviet counterpart with even its engine being a copy of the original UTD-20, but the Malyutka ATGM launcher was replaced with the HJ-73 Red Arrow missile launcher. By the time it entered service in 1992, it was already obsolete.

You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!

In Armored Warfare, the ZBD-86 is a Tier 3 Armored Fighting Vehicle. Gameplay-wise, it’s roughly on par with its Soviet BMP-1 counterpart, but its Read Arrow missile packs more of a punch.

It is available in the following bundles:

The RDF/LT designation stands for Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank. Several prototypes were built for the U.S. armed forces evaluations with various guns. It was, however, never mass-produced and the project was terminated in 1985.

You can read more about its development in our dedicated article.

In Armored Warfare, the RDF/LT is a Tier 6 Light Tank. It was originally offered as a part of the Collector’s Edition, but it also exists as a part of the Claw vehicle edition, featuring unique camouflage. The variant modeled in the game is the vehicle armed with the 76mm M32 gun as it was the closest the RDF/LT came to mass production. Its gun is quite accurate, fires fast and has a lot of penetration, but these advantages are compensated by the low damage per shot value. It is also quite fast and accelerates well but isn’t perhaps as nimble as other Light Tanks of its Tier.

The M60-2000 was a prototype upgrade for the M60 Patton series of Main Battle Tanks from the late 1990s. The idea behind it was to replace the old M60 turret with one from the Abrams MBT in order to provide a cost-effective solution for the owners of the Patton series. It was offered to several countries with Turkey showing the most interest, but lost the competition for Turkish M60 upgrades to the Israeli Sabra.

In Armored Warfare, the M60-2000 is a Tier 7 Main Battle Tank. Its main advantages include well-protected turret and a 120mm M256 gun on Tier 7, making this tank a deadly opponent, especially if fighting defensively with the hull hidden behind cover. However, its hull is quite fragile for its tier, making this tank more suitable as a second-line support vehicle, firing at its enemies from distance.
