Nevermind that comment, look below.
Let’s break it down by the numbers, setting aside the fact that armor values and armor packages for Israeli Magachs are overperforming amongst other things.
Ahem
By the numbers for 8.7-9.3BR…
Israel has 13 MBTs between 8.7-9.3BR
11 Tech Tree - Magach 6R, 6B, Hydra, 6M, 6C, 7C, Gal Batash, Sho’t Kal Gimel, Tiran 6, Merkava 1B and 2B.
2 Prem/Squadron- Sho’t Kal Dalet, Magach 6B Gal
Now, how does everyone else stack up?
USA has only 8, M60A1 RISE, M60A3 TTS, XM803, MBT-70, and the non TT XM-1 GM/Chrysler, and the 2 Merkavas.
Germany also has only 7 MBTs

France has only 5 options with a good supporting line-up, by the way…

Prem - AMX-30 Super
Sweden - Like Italy and Japan, MULTIPLE
Tech tree - Strv 104, 103C, 105, T-55M, T-72M1

Russia has 7 options just like China

Prem - T-55AM-1
As you can see, anyone playing Israel in the 8.7-9.3BR range has an atrocious advantage over EVERY other nation when it comes to MBT access per match, even if you take the premium options entirely out of the equation. It’s an absolute bogus move on Gaijin’s part that such an unbalanced clustershow is allowed to continue to perpetrate and is absolutely disrespectful to the playerbase.
The only other option is to give up playing any other nation but Israel, but everyone knows that’s just cringe and a copout. Gaijin needs to get off their hands and actually start giving a proper damn about game balance. And just for the record, for those that may want to bring the 8.3 MBTs into the argument - Israel still has the most access to MBTs between8.3-9.3BR by the way, so it’s still very much Israeli Bias incarnate.
