u wanna say now spikes dont count as ATGM?
wont be china after the backlash. Hoping they either go to Britain (as its a former british colony) or to Japan with other asian nations
No, but you can look at the designation trends in-game and see that vehicles that only carry ATGMs usually get classified as TDs (ATGM carriers) and light vehicles that have both ATGMs and an autocannon get classified as light tanks
The BMPT would count as a light tank, if it actually was a light vehicle in this case, but since it is heavily armoured it counts as a TD
Namer 30/Tsrikhon wants to know your location

The Leo 2k weighs 50t, does that make it a light tank?
So Namer 30/Tsrikhon is a Heavy?

Its an MBT.
My point was that the BMPT is far too heavy to be a light tank.
Its based on an MBT hull with some alterations and a new turret. theres nothing light tank about it.
We really could do with a new class of vehicle for fire support/infantry tanks as the Light/Medium/Heavy/TD/SPAA roles dont fit quite a few additions.

Its a fire support tank.
It fits none of the games current classes
i mean thats what the bmpt is as well isnt it?
As already mentioned some time ago, we have long term plans for Israel regarding subtrees: [Development] Community Update No.8: Responses and What’s Coming! (2 - Page) ) - News - War Thunder
However in this update at least, those mentioned subtrees are not planned.
You can yes.

Speaking about cool Planes, since all the Tornados got recently there radar with a Working SCR mode can we expect Kormoran for them soon?
gaijin: oh, a Merkava without the turret? Surely it weighs the same and the mobility is much worse, cause ofc the merkava turret is only 1 ton
and also, gaijin: “Namer Tsrikhon and Namer 30 are the same, but TSRK has Trophy, so we must increase the BR.” Also Gaijin: “Even though the Merkava Mk.4M has Trophy, it performs the same as the 4B, so we increase the 4B and LIC BR.”)
The Namer is also way too heavy to actually be a light tank
The ATGM carrier classification usually applies for vehicles that are limited to ATGMs, while vehicles that are armed with both ATGMs and autocannons tend to get the light tank classification
The BMPT in this case is so heavily armoured that calling it a light tank cannot be justified
I don’t know what the deal with the Namer is exactly, but from the looks of it, it does have rather weak armour, so it doesn’t get treated like the BMPT
It’s a load of nonsense, lifted up by Gaijin to be this do all vehicle. It should die like any SPAAG
But the turret is magically disconnected from the vehicle and well Russian Relikt has been buffed so many times that DM-53 wont always penetrate it from the frontal ark.
Stupid vehicle , can’t wait to see them on white rock game will be over in minutes.

Yes and it stated, “to whatever tree is most applicable and relevant on a case by case basis,” SG F-16 Block 52 is most relevant to Israel. And based on the phrase “case by case basis” it seems like they are not all planned to be added at the same exact time. Given how urgently Israel needs a new jet I don’t see why the devs can’t make this an expedited addition to Israel this update like they did when the JA-37DI F21 premium was revealed and Sweden mains were really upset about not having a tt counterpart so they added another a few days later. And iirc there’s been other instances of this too. Unless they are planning to do all of Singapore at one given time it makes no sense to not add it this update.

I think you might be doing a little too much but the feeling is very valid because it’s ridiculous that Israel doesn’t even have a 14.3 option for so long.
