This change is going live with the update planned for Tuesday, January 30th.

NEW TANK:

You can call it the Jagdchieftain based on its Tank Origin details … or you can simply call it your latest Cold War mayhem-maker.

The Chieftain Concept Test Rig Escalation Era (Era 2) Western Alliance Tank Destroyer features the kind of formidable gun you’d expect on a vehicle of this class, along with ample front armor protection. Learn all about the Chieftain CTR in its spotlight article.
