What’s the point of having Israel in warthunder at this point? It’s 50% more copy and paste than unique vehicles.

Makes for epic grind…
Because it’s a nation with unique vehicles.

It copy paste vehicle are modified which make them unique although most of them aren’t shown in War thunder.

It has so much potential unlike China, yet Gajin just decided “Ehhh adding unique tanks is too much effort”

The modifications make just a small difference, the only vehicles that should exist in the israeli tech tree should be vehicles manufactured by Israeli companies and not foreign
elaborate?

China failed to make any good indigenous tanks during WW2 (hence the reliance on Soviet and U.S. lended tanks), whilst Israel had things like the 60mm Achilles which is both unique and would actually perform well ingame.

I guess you are referring to Magachs.
Yes, some of them are pretty similar to each other, both others bring innovations with each new model.
I made a guide you can use to see the different features.
In the end, Magachs were the backbone of the IDF armored corps from 1965 until the early 2000s, they can’t be ignored.

I would not consider modifications to the main armament, secondary armament, add-on armour (both passive and active elements), engine, tramsission, fire control system, optics, electronic protection and passive protection to be small differences.
Sure, some models are similar (e.g. Magach 1 and 2 or Magach 6 and Magach 6A), but other Magachs have some quite important improvements.
I don’t know about ground that much but in air there is like one completely unique plane (and it’s awful), a few slightly modified imports and a few imports with slightly different weapons.
There is 0 reason to grind this nation for Aircraft unless you want everything and even then I would leave it for last.
Israel is generally one of the more neglected nations as it has enough unique vehicles for tiers 1,2 and 3 but gajin just… doesn’t.
While I can agree that Israel is heavier than other nations when it comes to copy paste, it would help on what said definition is (I classify it as being a 1 to 1 copy, even slight differences would make it none CaP in my eyes).
This guy made an Israel Ground Forces full potential tech tree.
Check it out.
A picture made of a lot of the big additions can be seen here, with some already added to the game.

Stop playing air? Air is also only ~50% copy paste.
Go play ground where there’s less than 10? copy-paste vehicles.
China has more copy-paste than Israel does.
@DrJorus
The funniest thing is there’s only 2 copy-paste Magachs, and one is premium.
