Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

We can blame gaijin for that one lol, tons of heavily modified and modernized vehicles they can add but it’s always the copy paste ones, sadge…

Unlike the one ingame it notably lacks internal guns, but yes it is the true lowest possible addition, I had forgotten about it thanks for the reminder.

Unarmed trainer iirc. It should be able to carry dumb bombs and rockets at the least, but they likely used inert ones for training purposes. I don’t believe I’ve seen it with even those however.

But my point was that none of these vehicles solve the issue I described earlier, which is that Israel can’t receive a fully fleshed out Rank I-II on its own without vehicles from other nations (I mean it could hav town, it would be tiny and just suck however). Luckily it’s not the same for ground, which has the potential to be a really unique tree on its own if gaijin would actually add more unique vehicles for once, with a fully fleshed out Rank I-III.

Totally, it has a really diverse ground tree with a lot of potential. Unfortunately its air tree holds it back even more than Israel’s does. Perhaps it could be in a combined tree of some kind in the future, now that I’d like to see. And yeah with current relations, turkey really shouldn’t go to Israel lol.

Indeed, they could contain unique vehicles that wouldn’t be copy paste if added, and they would add vehicles with different experiences from any other ones currently ingame for the most part. However Greece helps Israel more in the long run. It fills gaps in BRs, it provides lineups, and it gives Israel the ability to have a Rank I-II for air most importantly (which if you couldn’t tell already is my big selling point).

Greece doesn’t need to come to the game in all honesty, same for Hungary I totally agree, as it brings nothing new that couldn’t be otherwise added to the game (aside from that one IFV and its modernized Leopards). It’s just a bunch of copy pasted helis, planes, and tanks. However it was chosen and it seems they’re sticking by it for now, but what I want to focus on is how it won’t be all bad for helping the Israeli tree in areas in needs it, it just won’t be unique or really noteworthy in the slightest.
At the very least it doesn’t mean the other nations vehicles are barred, as Chile could find itself with LATAM, and Singaporean vehicle are confirmed to be coming across multiple nations in the future. Subtree solve issues with main trees that can’t be solved by their own vehicles, and I think Greece does a pretty good job of that for Israel, that’s pretty much my point in a nutshell.

The only greek vehicles i care about are their wierd domestic ifv/light tank things and the upgraded phantom. But knowing gaijin we will get none of those and instead gaijin will add a leopard 1 and 2 and a T-80U.

Turkey is also something that would be nice to see bit like greece gaijin is likely to prioritize stuff that already exists in game just with a different camo.

Blame israel for being lame in the aircraft they operate kek

Literally just an F-4F ICE that can’t get IRIS-T, has LITENING, triple rack AGM-65s, and some have that weird canopy design. It’s nothing special really

Coming Soon

That’s because the F-4E AUF is largely upgraded by DASA, a German firm. Also the AUF unlike the F does have radar Missiles

I think there’s some confusion as to the planes I’m referring to. The F-4E AUP, the Hellenic upgraded F-4E Phantom II is based on the F-4F ICE upgrade. Both have the same radar and obtained the ability to use AMRAAMs. If we’re talking about the F-4E AUP and F-4F ICE than both have radar missiles. If we’re talking about the Pre-AUP F-4E than it’s just a regular F-4E, and Pre-ICE F-4F is already ingame and known for lacking triple rack mavs and sparrows.
