The Rochev is just an M109A2, and the Doher is an M109A5

Israel uses M109s. But they should get the Sholef. Or both.
You know that gaijn has a limited number of vehicles, and he wants to make money on them, so he adds copies to the tree
The Sholef is just a merkava hull with a new turret
No shirt batman! 😏

I have never seen the M109 in Israeli service. Only M109A5, and I see records of M109A2. Never seen in Israel an M109 variant that doesn’t have an L39 gun.
Am I wrong or has Gaijin hit rock bottom?

These variants were used by Israel, as well as the A1 variant.

I’d rather that variant of M109 be added to Israel as a premium, or even better, as an event vehicle so it would one day disappear forever from the matchmaking. I hate the M109 so much.
It’s completely fair that Israel receives the M109. It used it as well as its a simple carry over from other trees. It be one thing if only Israel received the M109 (then it would be a waste) but since everyone got it, it’s justifiable. Israel will get its other arty…eventually sigh
So the only reason you don’t want them to have a tank they actually had is because you hate it? Not enough of a reason imo

Gaijin uses this as an excuse to avoid adding vehicles to Israel. What sucks even more is that when Gaijin adds vehicles to Israel, it’s more a declaration of intent. The actual vehicle enters a finished status only after years of being in a broken state.
By the time we’ll get any vehicle added to Israel properly, most would probably leave the game.

Think with the same rule, why adding M109G to germany instead of the M109A2/A3 version or the PZH2000. And what about the AS-90 for Great Britain intsead the M109A1? Or the Type 99 SPH for Japan or the South Korean K-9 Thunder? We already have the VIDAR (A South Korean K-9 thunder used by Norway) so why they cant add them? And what about the chinese PLZ-05 instead the PLZ-83? And the AHS Krab SPH used by Poland (an modified version of the K-9 thunder) And why they dont added the 2S19 Msta-S for Russia? And why not adding the M109A6 “Paladin” to EE.UU instead the A1 version?.
Give them time, this update are literally made in 1 month. Im sure they gonna see more artillery tanks in the game even with his own aiming system for indirect fire in the future.
As a lover of ground vehicles and especially indirect artillery, I am happy to see that they are adding more of this type of vehicles in the game. I think this is a good step to see these vehicles in the future added in the game so dont mind it, its a new vehicle for the Israel ground forces. Israel used it, and then gaijin added it to the game and i think its good.

They used it, and it’s being modeled for the US so why not add it for every country that used it at the same time

because its a waste of 40k RP
Chinese tanks are a waste of RP, especially since their military never existed until after WWII
It translates to 20 matches of 2k research points and 10 with premium.
I think it’s better than grinding a second (and worse) Leopard 2A5 (the PSO) 240 matches of 2k research points and 120 with premium (more or less)
So I keep thinking it is a good addition to the game, remember, this update are made in 1 month so I think is normal to have some copy-paste vehicles. Let see what they have prepared for December.
All would be different BRs, so none of those would be “instead” of, but additions.
Wherever a military did exist or not before WW2 has no hand in whether a nation should get ranks I-III or not. China and Taiwan happened to buy a lot of exports, Sweden developed their own military vehicles from scratch, and Israel scavenged literal junkyard garbage to create a mad max military.
