Cool the “No Sound if you cant see the Tank” issue gets worked on.
Hopefully the “near future” is at latest the next major update.
Super anoying sometimes.
You would want to wonder how many more people would be interested in it if it was modern instead. Food for thought.
I do think they should expand lower stuff too, for the record, but I just want to be realistic in noting that there’s a good reason Gaijin is focusing on top tier, as a business that wants to make money that is.
I hope so too, the chieftain is pretty important to Israeli vehicle design even tho we never sold any to them, only let them test them before we decided we preferred the Iranians (Before their Islamic boogaloo) and it lead to what became the merkava.
cheiftains also absolutely rock in WT and more of them is a great thing.
would love to see the Iranian mk5p and its evolution the Mobarez (chieftain with a T72 engine) appear one day too
So, we have airplane event in April, and in May, which is also an victory day event, would be naval?
Its been about year since Octabryskaya Revolutsiya leaked, and yeah, while hidden in fame by sister ship Marat in western world, she is true guardian of Leningrad and definitely fits the soviet legends for Victory day event.
The merkava designer, when speaking to Sven Berge and Rickard O. Lindström, said that the merkava was influenced by the 103s design, i think its namely the idea of the engine placement and such. But he was such a huge fan that he asked Sven to sign a copy of a model Strv 103
so nothing like how i meant. The IDF did trial the chieftain tank, we just then refused to sell to them. seeing a design concept and mimmicing it vs hands on time is different
You said the Chieftain was pretty important to the Merkavas design, i was stating it was not the only one and that due to collaboration since the 1960s the merkava was also heavily influenced by the S tank
Reading into it yes, they did have a jolly old test of it but briefly
and it was more than the engine, the merkavas crew survivability is influenced from the S tank
A lot of israeli cold war is bodge jobs of random bits and bobs like the zachlam and Tiran so thats kinda unavoidable
their modern and late cold war era is where a lot of mostly if not pure domestic vehicles are which still arent added anyway besides 5 million F 16s and namers
