Same here, the tri-gunned AFV sounds really fun, and having Cypriot camos for different vehicles will be awesome too, especially on the TOR and BUK
The T-80 too hopefully.
Cyprus to Israel feels a bit unneeded to me aswell. Only a couple vehicles really.
It performs more like an AA. It barely has any penetration w/ most of its rounds (like 58mm~ max?) and it uses AHEAD so I assume that’ll be it.
straight from Kerveros suggestion
I’m glad the nation I play is getting something nice
The main reason cyprus is being bundled in is gor it’s SAM systems, it gives Israel something better than the god awful SPYDER AIO, similarly with romainian OSA to italy
Only thing Cyprus would add is the Buk and Aspide. Greece also has the Tor and the Osa. Cyprus would only bring the Aspide, Barak MX and Buk. The Barak is Israeli and the Aspide + Buk would just be filler to 11.0-12.0 where the Barak MX, Tor and fixed* Spyder would go. The IDF also used the Strela system on a BRDM hull. There’s also the Spyder ADS, HVSD/ADAMS (to a lesser), Iron Dome, a fixed Drakon/Chaparral.
(Fyi it’s not like the Strela ingame, its the earlier, much worse pulling variant)
Could it be placed in the 8.0-9.3 gap?
I’d guess so
You know they fought a war over Cyprus, and its still split right?
think of it like this,isreal gets a rafale,an uprgaded phantom with aim120s and aim9L/I,Mirage 2000-or 2000EG,f16 block 30-50-52,A7 corsairs,f100,f104,upgraded apaches with spikes,leo2a6HEL,torm1,SA8 gecko (or OSA),ASRAD-HELLAS,leo2a4,1A5 (old and upgraded),m48 (old and upgraded),bmp1,marder a1.now to the cypriot side they get an mi35,bmp3,t80UK,and maybe t34,so yeah greece and cyprus will really put some length in the isreali grind which is a good thing,and also will put some sick ass vehicles.
Why would i want that tho, if i want a mirage i get either the french or chinese one, if i want a rafale i get the french one and if i want an upgraded phantom with 120s i play the ice, if i want to play a f16 i just play the isreal ones, and i dont wanna play an a7 or f104 or f100 again even so i would prefer the ones in the german or american trees idrc about ground so dont ask me for that, the only thing i could care from grease is the f102, but unless gaijin adds that i dont really care
Chile should be part of the South American tech tree. Too many vehicles to be a sub tree of a tech tree the size of Israel or China.
Greece is fine, it has as many if not more connections than Turkey.
Its nearly impossible to to have a game featuring vehicles of war and to not have a bit of a political edge. Im one of those 90% who would want the Cyprus tech tree to go anywhere but Israel. Having lived in Cyprus during the war in 74, i have a bit of an affinity towards the island. I also don’t see any kind of military/geopolitical connection between to two countries that would make them fit, other than they are both in the Med and in relatively close proximity.
Mainland Greece would be a better fit in an Israeli sub tree.
Read my bio, or any message in this thread.
110%! its practically impossible to separate these vehicles from the real world.
Israel and RoC have had some close connections in terms of military but its so recent and not really fleshed out when you have some of the most powerful politicians being anti-Israeli.

The sarcasm was too subtle for you?
The amount of idiots i’ve spoken to in this thread is making it hard
Greece has only their modified leopard2s to offer as unique additions, Cyprus has nothing, its representation in the game should be nothing more than decals and camos. “Nation” like that do nothing but bloat the grind, make the matches more samey and decrease incentive in grinding more tech trees.
