We are happy to inform you that in one of the future War Thunder updates a new playable nation will appear - Israel! Despite its youth, the Israeli armed forces are rightfully considered one of the most combat-ready armies in the world, and Israel's military forces are an interesting alloy of foreign vehicles with advanced domestic machines.
In the upcoming War Thunder update "Ground Breaking", two premium aircraft from the early access packs will be added to the Israeli aviation lineup. The owners of the packs will be the first to get access to the closed beta testing of the aviation tech tree of the new playable nation, that will begin in the next major update after the upcoming “Ground Breaking” update. Prior to Israeli aviation CBT, early access pack owners will be able to participate in aircraft random battles and prepare their crews!
Spitfire LF Mk IXe by Ezer Weizman
One of the most successful modifications of the legendary Spitfire in the livery of the personal aircraft of Ezer Weizman, a RAF veteran pilot, who later became the commander of the Israeli Air Force, and subsequently became the president of the nation!
In addition to the perfect maneuverability and excellent speed at low and medium altitudes, this aircraft carries 8 cm Flz.-Rakete Oerlikon rockets, unique to the game, with a shaped-charged warhead and an armor penetration value up to 300mm.
A-4E Skyhawk (Late)
A late Israeli modification of one of the best strike aircraft in the game! The aircraft features a new armament of 2х30mm DEFA guns, a parachute, and an elongated tail. The premium Skyhawk carries a large payload of various suspended weapons - bombs up to 2,000 pounds, Zuni and Mighty Mouse rockets, gun pods, and the AGM-62 Walleye guided bombs
A wonderful strike aircraft and the best choice to accelerate the research of high-ranking Israeli aviation!

Unlike all other game nations, Israeli tech tree won't start from Rank 1. We will share more details in future.
Awesome addition, i love you gaijin
does this mean the united Arab states could get a tech tree in the future?
I was also wondering on how Israel could be added, as the country formed in 1948 obviously wouldn't have anything to chose for Rank I, and would be hopelessly obsolete in the late 1940's. To my surprise, I found out that Israel actually used (e.g.) Hotchkiss H39 (originating from the 1930's) in their war of independence in 1948. Outdated, sure, but so were the tanks of their Arab enemies. Eg. Syria was using Renault R35 and R39, and the Lebanese using even Renault FT's!
This...Simply doesn't have any sense. This is nearly a micro-nation, and it didn't even exist in the entire new era, before after the WWII. Because it is so small country, with a little history of a military development, it won't have its own WW1 vehicles(naval), and interwar period, and WWII vehicles for air and ground mode, and will have very little vehicles on its own. It will be worse case than China(copy pasted trees). I am sure, there are other options that would have more sense.
More useless patches to come which only 5-10 % of the player base will care about, China and Sweden was a whatever since they had the minimum amount of vehicles (barely) to give them their own tree. The way they implemented the SA tree was a much better option, should've added Israel to one of the major trees instead, so no one would need to start the grind from the very start. Let's hope this at least opens up an opportunity for adding multiple other nations in the future.
So aside from adding copy paste stuff. Any plans on improving maps, game modes? Don´t wanna all hate, we got awesome sound, nice graphics, cool mechanics.. but the same small hamster cages of maps and the same old game modes that feel like mere placeholders.
Ahh yes, just what we need. Another copy paste nation with fewer unique vehicles than China. Here's a better idea, how about taking a look at all the unique commonwealth vehicles that exist in game as event or premium vehicles... then consider how many aren't in game and make a commonwealth tree like people have suggested for years. Excluding the U.K. there are 53 commonwealth countries. Should be plenty of unique vehicles available and the commonwealth actually served in WW2.
I've been waiting for a Finnish tech tree or at least a new low tier italian plane for ages and this is what we get? Like really?
ahh cmon gaijin.. u are kiddin.. focus on br system and make the community more happy more listing ears! not this!
instead of filling empty tech tree ,let's make another empty one ... nice
