Sad but it’s so annoying especially when nation pride gets in the way. Oh I don’t want more Israeli Shermans then wants a sub for another nation.

That part get really under my skin.

Have any of you folk who keep up with all the datamine changelog type stuff seen anything to suggest Merkava Mk4M’s APS will get fixed this update?

Dont think it will

:(

To rub salt into the wound, literally just had a Type89 overpressure me by hitting the APS launcher (which due to the bug just refused to work) lmao.

My only gimmick. Gone. Reduced to atoms.

Another update another time im suffering in top tier because israeli spaa in war thunder sucks

The early 3rd generation targeting pod for NATO aircraft (except USA)

This major update modern PGM for nato standard

Yeah Israel ground is not worth playing above 9.3 currently.

However 9.7-10.0 looks juicy now, because that Sabra looks interesting imo.

Taking them a hot minute to fix this particular bug. Been here ages now. Was praying this update would do it but guess not.

Idk what annoys me about this incident more. The fact the APS just doesn’t work, or the fact Merk dies to overpressure’s as silly as this :

It’s such a weird bug too. Like. 10% of the time it works fine. 70% of the time it doesn’t work at all. 20% of the time it works, but all the charges on the opposite side to the hit get depleted.

Some serious shenanigans going on lol.

I wouldn’t mind if China got its own air-to-surface missiles instead of useless glide bombs and the J-10 got all those hardpoints for its weapons that were reported on the latest dev server.

I really want to get hyped for Sabra, but the pessimist within me worries it will just be constant 10.7 uptier against the 2A4 premium spam.

Would be nice to finally have something to pair with the Merk2D since it got moved up tho.

I played a whole bunch of 9.7 with my tali CV9035NL after the last update (322 battles in the 35NL after quickly looking it up) and a really large majority of those games were 9.7-10.0, with some 10.3.

Seems like 11.7 is pulling up a lot of 10.7s.

That’s very hopeful then. I’ll have to give it a shot. Tbf, that 9.7 Israel line up (If that’s what Sabra comes in as) is lookin real fun.

Ayit / Sabra / 2D / Giraf / Machbet / Tzefa DE.

You’ve singlehandedly restored my hype lol.

I tried playing the challenger 2 (at 11.7) nothing but 12.0s.

Same to be honest. One of my friends joined the VC and told that he was mostly having downtiers when playing 11.7, of course when I tried it I mostly got 12.0+ games lol.

This is why I’ve ended up playing a lot more low/mid tier, significantly less depressing (the Chinese Walker Balldog is a right lark), and the teams are significantly better somehow. The highest I regularly play these days is ~9.7 and even then it’s a little annoying at times, (especially if I wanna take a first gen harrier has cas, you do not know pain until you’ve tried to defeat a strella or tungy in one. Even Stingers are a death sentence).

I still play 10.3 on a regular basis since I have ZTZ96AP although I do feel at this point 5 minutes into a match the map is pretty much empty, or otherwise the enemy is already camping your spawn.

I would say the Chally 1 is a lot more bearable to play, at its tier it’s a pretty good tank and the matchmaking is a lot better than the 11.7-12.0 matchmaking. (Cough cough America mains cough cough) Plus the Chally 2 is just not competitive at all compared to other top tier tanks.
