About Armored Warfare
Armored Warfare is a free‑to‑play massively multiplayer online title that blends story‑driven player‑versus‑environment missions with large‑scale player‑versus‑player tank battles. Players act as mercenaries hired by corporations and complete objectives ranging from simple captures to multi‑step campaign scenarios.
The game offers hundreds of modern armored vehicles from the 1950s to the 2030s, organized into five distinct classes. Battles can involve up to 15 vs 15 players or smaller 5‑man operations on maps that span deserts, mountains, tundra and urban environments.

Game Modes
Armored Warfare provides both PvP and PvE experiences. PvP matches can scale to 15 vs 15 engagements, while PvE missions include capture, escort and story‑driven campaigns against AI opponents.
Co‑op play lets squads of up to five players tackle PvE objectives together, and the game receives regular content drops that add new maps, modes and events.
- Begin with co‑op PvE missions to learn vehicle handling before entering large PvP battles.
- After each content update, check the in‑game news for newly added modes.

Vehicle Classes
The title features five epic classes: heavily armored main battle tanks, light AFV scouts, tank destroyer snipers, and two additional categories covering a range of combat roles.
Hundreds of vehicles are meticulously modeled after real‑world counterparts from the 1950s‑2030s, allowing players to select a class that matches their preferred combat approach.
- Try a light scout to become familiar with map layouts before moving to heavier tanks.
- Use tank destroyers when you need to engage enemy armor from a distance.

Map Variety
Dozens of maps cover environments such as scorching African deserts, Chinese mountains, northern tundra and neon‑drenched urban jungles, each presenting its own tactical considerations.
Open deserts favor long‑range fire, while tight urban areas reward maneuverability and close‑quarters tactics, influencing vehicle choice for each battle.
- Scout the layout of a new map before committing a heavy tank to tight streets.
- Take advantage of high ground on mountainous maps for improved line‑of‑sight.
