Greetings, Operators!In today's article, we'll take a look at one of the most iconic and recognizable (if you recognize pixels) camouflage patterns—MARPAT (MARine PATtern). Why and what for is the new camouflage?To understand the wider context of the creation of this camouflage, we need to go back in time a little. Specifically, to the 1980s, when the M81 Woodland camouflage was introduced to all US Army units. This pattern proved to be a very successful successor to ERDL. From a purely structural point of view, this move made a lot of sense. Instead of producing different types of camouflage

Anders Multi-Role Combat Platform (Wielozadaniowa Platforma Bojowa, WPB), the platform was named after General Władysław Albert Anders, a famous commander of the Polish forces in the Second World War, who fought bravely only to be persecuted by the communist regime after the end of the war, much like another Polish hero, General Maczek.The initial idea was to transform the Polish armed forces to a highly-mobile force organized into Mechanized Brigades, equipped with either light wheeled vehicles (the Rosomak platform) or with tracked vehicles (the Anders platform).

Operators, today we would like to familiarize you with two weapons that are currently available in our in-game store and are part of the Rose edition. These are the MSBS-K assault rifle and the RPG-7. MSBS-K GROTLet's start with the standard explanation of the name and history of this rifle.

GROT is the official name adopted in honor of General Stefan Rowecki, while grot itself means arrowhead.This weapon system is not just an assault rifle, but, as the name suggests, a whole family of guns. The design began it

Let us begin this article by unravelling the mystery surrounding the name of this vehicle and the general nomenclature of tanks in China. Due to general military secrecy and the lack of available official sources, Chinese vehicles are referred to in the West as Type and year. In this case, we have Type 99. This is the name given to this vehicle by western military enthusiasts. However, there is a second name that you may associate from World War 3 - ZTZ 99. ZTZ is a simplified Chinese name converted into an alphabet understandable to Westerners. When expanded, it is Zhuangjia Tanke Zhongxing,

This week, in our Boot Camp series, we will give you a look at the strike system in WW3, and various strike types. These are currently available only in the TAC mode, as the smaller modes do not support them.

Every action you perform gives you these points, with objective play being the most rewarding. You have 3 slots for strikes in each loadout, and each of them contain different categories of strikes. Let’s look at each of these now. The First SlotThe first slot can be c
