Isreal doesn’t have a Rank III currently. So its somewhat out of place. Unless your taking just the TCM-20, it doesnt have much of an effective CAS benefit.

Its perhaps possible for consideration later. Right now nothing to say on it though.

Well… with only 1 vehicle per update, which is usually C&P, it will take years to fill put another rank for Israel.

Given the two nations that receive the least amount of stuff per year and gaijin not caring about filling out lower br spots on nations that actually need them a lot its gonna be a decade take it or leave it.

I mean that just it though with the addition of the Mossie’s to rank 3 then that will allow the Sakeen to go down and then that relays on the question of having rank 3 for ground too.

No rank 3? Yes. No rank 3 vehicles? That however is wrong. The Sakeen is very much a rank 3 plane. And there’s enough room in rank 4 to add more planes

@AydanL44_Hunter They also have the Sherman V which is also a rank 3 tank, boom easy C&P

Why is that? There is a suggestion and several discussions showing that Israel could easily have a rank 1-3, why is this something that hasn’t been prioritized?

That’s a very good question. Israel is unpopular precisely because it lacks ranks I-III. This should be a priority before adding the subtrees of Greece and Cyprus to Israel.

It’s probably also unpopular because it’s mostly copypaste until higher ranks and can’t rely on a large national community either.
Greece will happen way sooner because it lets Gaijin copypaste top tier, and those last 3 words are Gaijin’s favourite things

The Mosquito B.Mk.XVI uses the Merlin 77, which provides slightly less power ingame
Other than that you are right, they all use the Merlin 25
(The Mosquito FB.Mk.26 uses the Packard Merlin 225, but that’s just a licensed production of the Merlin 25)

The only Mosquito variant with a more powerful engine that I am aware of is the Australian built Mosquito FB.Mk.42 with its Merlin 69 engines

Hey smin could we see a German bmp1a1 soon since it’s already in Sweden

At the moment, as I said, there are no plans for a Rank III for the forseeable future. The focus will be on filling Isreals existing gaps within its current ranks.

Isn’t that just a BMP-1 without the ATGM launcher?

Its not something planned in the close future. Thats for sure. Other vehicles are currently planned for Germany. But perhaps someday.

Unfortunately but hopefully soon
