Have I ever mentioned that the Israeli Chaparral (known as Drakon) in WT is fiction? It is a complete copy-paste.
In reality it used a completely different FLIR module AND it has access to an FN MG for the commander.
Here are the photos and the reports:
Might I also add that the report on the wrong FLIR module had been made during the devserver period of the vehicle’s introduction? It was more than a year ago.
Gaijin: Doesn’t care about Israel because nobody plays it
Players: Don’t play Israel because Gaijin doesn’t care about it
The only reason that they added the Namer is because they already had the Namer hull in the game and it would be a cheap way to add a 400k rp vehicle with very little cost
yeah, your right. I just feel like these vehicles would’ve been played a lot more if it was a subtree. Then again, adding good vehicles that are modeled correctly would solve a lot of problems
Gonna have to bust out Ofekk213’s wonderful Concept Tree again :
Isreal has more than enough unique, potential additions to justify it’s place as an independent tech tree.
Problem is, snail is just allergic to adding any of it. And the rare times they do, they botch the living daylights out of it (See Namer, Sholef & Merkava’s). Things like Spyder, HVSD/ADAMS, Eitan, Pereh, Hafiz etc would all be absolute W additions, but they take more effort than just slapping a new composite / ERA pack on a Magach for the… 15th? 16th? time lol.
That’s not to say i don’t want all the Magachs / Tirans etc, i do, but… Unique and more importantly needed stuff should be first priority. The entire tree has a chronic shortage of auxiliaries - and unique things exist to fill those gaps.
But back to the topic of this thread, Just about every Israeli ‘Main’ i’ve seen this past year, has been near unanimous in their belief that a top AA should be our number 1 priority addition. How the snail has failed this for five major updates, and we go into 2025, still with Machbet as our best system… It feels so far beyond unfair that i’m at a loss for words.
We seen so much uproar a few years ago when Japan was stuck with Type-93. Snail even went out of their way in a Q&A to specifically acknowledge it, and promise something better was coming. Yet us, today, years after the fact - when CAS at top tier is infinitely more powerful than it was then, stuck with a system EVEN WORSE than Type-93… and they just ghost our pleas for something better. By now my frustration has subsided into despondence.
It’s a depressing state of affairs, when Namer’s Spikes are unironically the most useful SAM’s in the tech tree.
I am trying to bring some attention to the Chaparral (Drakon) and its poor state right now.
I made this thread to collect the more important bug reports and problems.
If anyone feels like commenting it would be appreciated.
They need to do something, top tier is nearly dead with less than half full matches, not caused by the ground vehicles but getting constantly killed by some plane that we can’t even see, it has become to easy for cas players to dominate the game, a little fox 3 action should help balance it out.
The only Copy-paste vehicles in the Israeli Ground Tech Tree are the Magach 1, Magach 2, AMX-13, AML-90, M109, Rochev, ZSU-57-2, Magach 6, Tiran 4, Tiran 6, Hovet, ZSU-23-4, and Giraf.
The Sho’t is unique to the Israeli tree. It is a Centurion Mk.5 and not found anywhere else.
Out of 41 Ground Tech Tree vehicles, only 13 are copied and pasted. Despite being a lazy nation because Gaijin won’t get off their ass, it is not remotely as bad as China was and still is. China has 65 tech tree ground vehicles available. Out of that 65, 31 are entirely copied and pasted. That’s half. That does not include premiums, which would make it worse.
Keep in mind, Israel starts at rank 4. China does not.
u consider cp wrong dude all the magachs til gal batash are copy pasted they feel the same and act the same also shot idk m5 or not its a basic centurion also machbet and chapparal are half cp
its not that i have problem with it i kinda like playing soviet brit amrica mixed but its a fact that a lot of the tanks and planes are cp
