The mysterious disappearance of the Namer’s armor is a major issue, and it still hasn’t been fixed. It’s just ridiculous. Vehicles like the Merkava and other Israeli vehicles should be equipped with domestic ammunition, such as the Lahat, as you mentioned. Israel has many unique vehicles that could be introduced, but it seems like they are unwilling to invest much effort in this area at the moment…
buff armor against kenetic rounds and chemical rounds, the merkavas apparently can survive 20 kornets , and in WT it can’t even survive 1 rn/

My friends and I play together using American, French, and Israeli vehicles. Since I haven’t researched the IAF yet, I currently don’t have AIM-120 as an anti-air option. When I saw that our team only had ADATS, and the enemy’s Su-34 was using KH-38 to accurately eliminate our teammates while I could only use Chaparral, I felt a deep sense of despair.

Yes, all 10 tech trees lack SPAA for 12.0 and all 10 tech trees need SPAA.
Until then, we’re forced to bring fighters if we want to be anti-CAS.
The good:
Otherwise Israel has great aircraft, and good enough MBTs.
Israel’s 9.3 lineup is absolutely stacked and amazing.
yes, israels top tier mbts not so much but thats a known fact. All we can do is pray gajin fixes what should be fixed, and add many due spaa to countries that need them

true. Italy, the United States, Israel, China, and others all need a new SPAA. I’m not asking for their performance to be exceptional, just at least something usable
Israel can and should get Spyder with Pythons for example.
It’d be a good way to introduce that IRCCM before aircraft.

the spyder-aio can get derby-sr as well, i did a post on that in the past

Indeed, but Derby is genuinely OP for anti-air right now.
CAS can’t engage beyond 20km yet, and consistent SPAA powercreep steps is a good idea.
kh-38…, it also isn’t beamriding and requires a radar lock to fire, meanign if the spyder loses the lock, the missile cant do much to fire and im not to sure , but if the Spyder loses lock i think the missiles can track?
KH-38’s limited by its IR seeker which is <20km identical to AGM-65D/G at this time.
And yes, Pythons are IR guided, Spyder only needs lock for initial launch.
As a main ground player,What I want to say is that in this game, the developers don’t care about whether the vehicles are historically or data-wise accurate. They only care about making more money and injecting what they call “personal stuff” into the game. Many nations in this game are being treated unfairly, while certain countries continue to receive vehicles that are not only excellent but also far surpass the same-tier vehicles of other nations. This only reinforces my point.
As the gap between aerial and ground vehicles continues to widen, players in ground mode are more likely to encounter situations where they are helpless against stronger vehicles, leading to a poor gaming experience.
Yet, the developers continue to indulge and even promote this situation, which I just can’t understand.

honestly 2 option are available ,
1st one: you can use derby-sr but only a limited amount of them, as spyder-aio and sr can carry both python and derby-sr
2nd: or you can add the pythons first and then the derbies later on , but wihtout derbies, the spyder would struggle to shoot down missiles fired at it with only its pythons, so i’d go personally with the first option
True,When I see the Merkava 4 and T-80BVM at the same BR, I can’t understand if they are capable of fighting in the same BR
they would be if the merkava’s armor was realistic.

You can have two separate Spyders.
One for 12.3, and the Derby one for 13.7 later on as better CAS and BR decompression occurs.
but gajin doesn’t seem to accept that the merkava is first an 80 ton veichle and not 65 tons, has modern era into its armor, and has been able to take multiple kornet missiles and still survive.
Can we like aircraft, determine the final cost based on the type of ammunition used?
thats were i dont agree, they can add the hsvd adams at 12.3 and later the spyder-aio with a limited amount of derbies or add derbies later. Bceause gajin said grom-2s will be coming , just not now, so i think for now like a limit of 4 derbies or 3 would be good or just add them later
tbh, I don’t think the developers will restore the Merkava’s armor in a “historically accurate” way. Instead, they will likely use another approach to make it capable of competing against the T-80s, as this has already been proven countless times.
