Probably going to happen in the same update that introduces new missiles, as it can carry RVV-MDs (export R-74s), RVV-SDs and potentially R-77Ms
(R-37Ms as well, but I don’t think those are going to be added)
Got to love the sentiment of “I should know what’s better for war thunder than the war thunder dev’s themselves solely on the bases I hate copy and paste in mixed battles”
Even with a subtree Israel is still the nation of infinite patton tanks. A chieftain mk5 at 8.7 will break this monotony up more than you probably think.
Pattons arent great hull down tanks, honestly they are a pretty mid tank overall while the chieftain may not be mobile but its one hell of a heavy sniper, would be a nice break of pace.
Trialled vehicles do have a place when appropriate, i think this is one of those times
India is gonna provide a Buk, a Tunguska, a Tor and a Shilka to Britain
Greece is gonna provide an Osa and a Tor to Israel
Cyprus is gonna provide a Buk to Israel
Finland is gonna provide a Buk to Sweden
We dont have our pershing or T48 either, we purchased a T48 for some reason and its now at the tank museum, dont think it would add much if anything at all of substance to the tree but would tell an odd story
I think according to more recent leaks it doesn’t seem like Israel is going to get both nations as sub iirc
Edit : last leak said that Turkey and Greece aren’t likely to be in the same tree but both might be coming as sub in 2026 still yeah
That Pershing might end up becoming a Battlepass vehicle
There’s a M41 with a Perkins engine that they could add as well (not a fan of the Bulldog at all tho lol)
would probs be best as a BP because it wouldnt be that big of a loss.
not a fan of bulldogs either. American tanks just dont do it for me, they nailed it with the sherman and didnt get another strike until the Abrams tbh.
that patton in the tank museum is a prototype T48 we tested against centurion (centurion turned out ot be superior, zero surprises there), has a weaker engine and a few other oddities around it such as not having the stupid giant cupola so would be unique in its own way at least
i mean you already need rank 4 to get Israel. so by that point players would know what they are getting into. its like being mad the US has lots of Shermans at low BR
The rank 4 requirement is already a stupid hurdle to start the israel tree (only needed because its addition was poorly done)
“yea i know this tree sucks but ill play it anyway” being the only reason you can see to play Israel shows that it NEEDS the assistance from more vehicle diversity and additions more than any other.
also lol using shermans as the example. there isnt enough shermans, theres more variants missing than present.
I was just using it as an example of a common tank in a tree that the player should have known about getting into it. The M60’s/Pattons are their equivalent to the Shermans. They also do have some other vehicles at those BR’s
