The 2RI didn’t have spall liners, the only real issue it has in game is that the side armor is somehow less effective than a thinner sideskirt of the same armor type on the Strv 122B+.
Maybe they could add K276/K279 APFSDS used by Indonesia to make it more unique, but iirc these are just sidegrades to the existing ammo choices when it comes to performance.
Nothing special but enough to make a different variant to have at least 2 and not just one
(It’s just a RCWS with a 50cal, commander sight and some extra smokes)
Much like Merkava Mk.4B and Merkava Mk.4LIC,
Or like Strv 122A and Strv 122B PLSS,
Or like M1A2 SEP and M1A2 SEPv2,
Or like Leclerc S1 and Leclerc S2,
etc.
And much like I expect both K2PL and K2GF for Poland!
I’m a bit sad that Israel will become yet ANOTHER tree to rely on Leopards, and to have more and better Leopards than Germany, Leopard’s country of origin, rather than just fixing the Merkavas so that they are competitive, unique and appealing, but… if they are doing this, they may as well go in fully instead of half-assing it.
Hopefully not. With the addition on Greece I hope they don’t make the same mistake as not adding the TVMs to Germany and actually give us the 2a6EXs or honestly some of the 2a4 modernizations like the evolution and revolution
Plus also there’s not much that can be done about the copy and paste situation with the leopards. It’s the most exported western tank of the modern era with 22 operators.
Greece ground isn’t coming any time soon I believe, But I hope this update adds in Germany the 2A7A1 and the 2EX so they can have it ready for when the Greek/Cypriot line comes
Suffering from Success, the best modern MBT irl and in game, but still some people will complain C&P
Given other additions I suspect the lazy copy paste of Russian equipment version over the domestic MKI which has Indianisation and Israeli support upgrades IIRC.
It would be nice if we got the MKI with a ton of the non Russian kit it could use, not so copy-paste then at least.
I mean if the 2A6HEL gets added this update I wouldn’t be suprised to see Gaijin a heavy cavalry 2.0 where Germany gets the 2A7A1 as a unique model while the 2A6EX/2A6HEL gets added to Germany and Israel (through greece) together.
The name of the tank is 2HEL, and there is noway they add it in this update, in this update we will see Hellenic aircrafts so I don’t think we will see ground and air line in the same time
