Israeli Chaparral and its underwhelming status

Considering the addition of new SPAAs and new aircrafts for other nations, I am trying to bring some attention to the sad state of the Israeli Chaparral (known as Drakon in Israel).

After its introduction a year ago not much has changed, even though reports have been filed concerning the wrong presence of smoke out of its missiles, wrong FLIR module and more.

The devserver is a good time to remind the devs of what could be improved, so I will be attaching the links to some important reports.

MIM-72E, MIM-72G, lost smokeless motor

[DEV] The Israeli Improved Chaparral is modeled incorrectly

Imp. Chaparral incorrect internal modules

Israeli Imp.Chaparral missing forward pintle-mounted machine gun

I think it is only fair to ask some improvements to this vehicle, since this is what Israeli players are stuck with even at top tier.

I’ve tried submitting bug reports including photos of the chaparral firing a missile showing NO smoke and they still turned it down, im so sick of these incompetent people, just the fact that its 1 br higher than the american one with no advantages proves how bad they are.

There is a bug report from like 10 months ago that was accepted. Just one of those bugs that will be here for a long time.

For obvious bug like smokeless motor
If it is bugged for one patch that’s probably a bug.If its bugged and acknowledged for almost a year without fix, then its a
intentional sabotage.

Some players in forum cried very hard about “how op chaparral is” last year. And they successfully got it nerfed.

Yep.
The vast majority of “bugs” are just a matter of setting a flag to a different value. Not some complex redesign.
They are by all means very much intentional.

Funny part is that i am 100% sure that the US chaparral went down in br because of the bug.

Both israeli and US chaparral went down last BR change,because apparently they are not qualified for that BR.
Since last year nearly all westerns SPAAs in 9.X to 10.X including Mistral/Roland/Chaparral/Stormer HVM/ASRAD has some “little bug” like smokeless motor or wrong AOA value to limit their performance.

They could have at least gave them Strela or OSA since they’re adding it to other trees
