Israel REALLY needs new SPAA

What kind of victim complex is that? Literally most of the posts you’ll see in the F-15E engine thread are pushing for the F-15I to get better air-to-ground weaponry like the Popeye or Maverick while the US F-15E gets the 229 engine so that both planes have parity.

Similarly, most of the people in the community will agree that both the Merkava and Namer need an armor buff if you ask them. Yes Israel has been in need for a good AA since the tree released. It’s just Gaijin being Gaijin about it for whatever reason.

It’s not a victim complex lol

I’ve literally been told to kill myself in-game countless times because I own Israeli vehicles. I’ve been griefed even more times than I can count for the same reason.

There are some people that are very vocal about their hatred for Israel getting anything at all.

Same. I’ve also been TK’d multiple times in ARB because I fly an Israeli jet. They are quite vocal about it.

84

Haven’t had any teamkills or shit talks tied to the nation. Random TKs due to missile switching targets, sure, but you don’t need israel for that to happen.

85

I don’t think there’s anything worse in WT than watching your missile switch targets and they never seem to miss an opportunity to TK.

86

It happens during takeoff for me. I normally would write it off. However they seem to always feel the need to say in chat why they did it.

Back on to the subject of SPAA. I would accept any top tier SPAA. Maybe Israel put a foreign one through trials or field tests? If they did that would be a more solid reason than some of the other vehicles in game. WT has done stranger things in the interest of balance.

87

Honestly I’d even take an OSA… Captured OSA, even from another nation… Just any SPAA

88

No one’s mad about the I getting 229, people are mad because the E isn’t getting 229

89

You think that because you can’t logically believe someone would be that petty, but they can be.

Fact!

There is the Barack 1 SAM platform but I don’t know how viable that is.

Are you talking about the HVMS/ADAMS?

92

Sadly I don’t know what it is called outside of Israel.

They are finishing up the Barak 8 currently.
(Publicly available information)

93

I think he means the Barak 8-MR
Don’t think it’s a standalone vehicle though

94

The Barak 1 is available as a towed or vertical launcher.

The Barak 8 is a vertical launcher only.
(So the 8 is of no use in WT)

95

Again my Hebrew is as bad as my Relatives English.

Edit: I didn’t meant to reply to myself

96

It doesn’t have guns, just like
M113 ADATS
FlaRakRad
Type 81c
TOR-M1
ItO 90M

97

And those vehicles aren’t particularly good at their job anymore. They can’t fight modern CAS.

98

Don’t get me wrong here, but the SPYDER will be cracked (unless only DERBY is added to it, but at the same time that doesn’t make sense). HVMS/ADAMS or whatever exists that is comparable will be better fitting for now.

Additional information.
Sorry for the confusion. The Cousin I normally speak with is deployed at the moment and the Cousin that is on leave at the moment doesn’t speak much English. My side of the family Americanized when they got here as a result I can’t fully communicate with half of them.

Lost in translation
The Barak 1 refers to the projectile not the launcher. It was developed around the year 2000. They insist it had a mobile platform but seeing as they were barely born when it was developed who knows. It isn’t currently in service from what I can tell. Hopefully someone will be able to dig up more information.

There is the HVSD/ADAMs which fires Baraks VLSS style on an all in one platform :
