Dealers are independent arms suppliers who are willing to sell Vehicles from their catalogues to players that lead their own military corporations in Armored Warfare. Dealers are not necessarily associated with specific nationalities, though some have specific vehicles, that match with their personal history. Instead, vehicle trees tend to be created with a specific playstyle or region in mind.

Special
(Main article: Special)
The "special" dealer is not actually a dealer at all, but a categorization used to define and group vehicles that are not associated with other dealers or appear in any of their dealer trees. Most vehicles that fall into this category are premium vehicles obtained from the web shop or event vehicles that are given out as awards, compensation, holiday gifts, or due to other circumstances. Some vehicles in this category are no longer obtainable and/or have been stated to never be available after the instance they were handed or given out.
