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.
Seems Gaijin forgot their roots as a WWII-era combat simulator... While I have nothing against the Israelites themselves, and I'm happy they're getting recognition in WT, but, there's the question how will you fill Israel's lower tiers? It was a post-WWII nation (1948), and the lowest you can go with them is late-war equipment that is mostly lend-lease. I think there could have been better candidates like Romania, Czechoslovakia or Hungary, which participated in WWII, and have unique vehicels.
War Thunder was never an WW2 game. Since the beginning we got post WW2 machines.
Stona_WT, My point is, we begin at WWI/early-WWII era vehicles, then progress to modern-day. Israel already gets a leg up on everyone else due to not having that early tier equipment other nations have, since by the time they were formed that technology was far obsolete. With Israel it breaks the status quo of every other nation in-game.
What a complete waste of time for everyone involved, coders and players alike for a 100% copy pasta tree just to artificially extend the grind......
I Hope This Nation Doesn't Start At Tier I-III Just Like Sweden & China Should Start At Mid Tier. Otherwise Being Simply More Bloated Content Until The Actual Domestic Stuff Comes Around.
sweden has quite a lot of low tier stuff. china is fun at low tiers, and becomes a boring copy of the russian tree at mid tier.
Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word?
Guess it is going to recieve more Mirages than the french tech tree ... #3 Where is the Mirage F1 ?
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh or you will wait another 3 updates xd
we already have planes from the 90's and JDAMS and France cannot get a fighter from 1972...
Now i want Egypt, gaijin?
yaaaa we neeeed
+1
I'm all for new nations and more variety of vehicles in matches! But... do we really need another clone wars tech tree?
cringe
I can't... I knew that for the last few updates it's been mostly copy paste vehicles, but a WHOLE COPY PASTE NATION? XDDDDDDD
You didn't even manage to flesh out China and yet you're already adding a new nation? And btw, where will the existing Merkavas end up?
wasnt it better just give US, Israel nation as subnation like it was made with South Africa to GB? Like really, wtf is that? There will be like 6 Israeli specific build vehicles like Merkavas. While we are at it, you wanna move those merkavas from US tree? :D this is a prank right? I mean, REALLY? Please tell me that I am blind and it is ment as a sub nation for US because making Israel standalone nation over Warsaw Pact or V4 nations, its just bad development.
No thats disgusting, USA doesnt deserve glorious nation of ISRAEL to themself!!! we needed our own nation in game and should have had it from the start of war thunder history. israel is sub nation of nobody!!
SuTheFox, Israel is a product of the USA. Its vehicles can be used to fill USA.
