As other vehicles of Soviet origins, BTR-152 were captured in large quantities from the previously defeated Arab armies, and pressed back into service. – another SPAAG, without radar guidance (hence impervious to SED attack), is the light BTR-152 TCM.
#WARGAME RED DRAGON TIER LIST UPGRADE#
A late (1995) indigenous upgrade of the previous vehicle led to the development of the Machbet prototype, improving its radar detection and adding Stinger to its main weapon. The backbone of which is the Hovet, a.k.a American M163 PIVADS. – Israel’s air defense relies heavily on American weapon systems. The reason being that Israel was using specially-made ERFB ammos, granting it extra range and accuracy. Although the latter is by all aspect a usual M107, it doesn’t share the stats of those already present ingame. – the heavier tubes are provided by the 203mm Kardom (= M110A2) & 170mm Romach. – regarding 155mm tube artillery, Tzahal fields two different weapon systems: the also ubiquitous American M109 SPG, declined as the Rochev (= M109A2) & Doher (= ~Dutch M109ANL) and the heavy Sholef, a prototype SPG combining a Finnish 155mm gun with a Merkava chassis. The latter is a hybrid vehicle, mounting a heavy Finnish 160mm mortar on a turretless M51 Isherman chassis! – the IDF has two mortar-carriers: Laish, the ubiquitous American M125 with a 81mm mortar, and the indigenous Makmat. – and finally, Shayetet 13 are the Israeli Navy’s dreaded elite commandos. The brigade having been reactivated in that role only from 1983, this unit will only come in a single 1985 setting. – another Israeli shock infantry unit will be the members of the Givati amphibious brigade, acting in Wargame as 15-men naval infantry squads. Armed with SMG or Carbines, and packing heavy AT squad weapons, they will be able to deal with most threats. – Israel’s shock troopers will be the Tzanhanim paratroopers, also coming in two variants, “vanilla” & ’90. They will come in the forms of two 5-men FIST squads: Gavnuni, armed with M47 Dragon (identical to the Dutch Vuurploeg squads), and Mesaya’at, armed with a Mk.19 automatic grenade-launcher. – as other nations in the same situation, Israel was granted fire-support squads to compensate for its lack of Cat-C & B ATGM teams. – as for anti-tank crews, Tzahal’s sole one will be the late (1987) 2-men Dorban-LR team, armed with the deadly Spike-LR ATGM. – regarding anti-air specialists, Israel will rely first on the Bazak (= Redeye), then on the Barkan (= Stinger A) 2-men MANPAD teams. They will come in two variants, “vanilla” & ’90. – the backbone of Tzahal’s infantry is the Rovait squad, that is regular riflemen. In Wargame, they will come in the form of Miluim militia squads … riding into battle in their glorious Zachlam APC, a.k.a good ol’ WW2’s M3 half-track! 🙂 – the IDF’s reliance on reservists is well-known. – and finally, the IDF will have a 5-men infantry command squad, named Hapak. – as most country ingame, Israel will get a command helicopter in the form of the Saifan Pikud (= Bell 206). – the Merkava Pikud is Tzahal’s command variant of the Merkava I MBT. – the Achzarit Pikud is the command variant of the heavy APC Achzarit, an Israeli original unit (see VEHICLES below). – Mugaf is the Israeli name for the American M577 CPC. – salvaged from the previous Israel-Arab wars, the BTR-40 Pikud is the open-top, command variant of the Soviet recon vehicle.
#WARGAME RED DRAGON TIER LIST SKIN#
– the M325 Pikud is Tzahal’s lightest command vehicle, a soft skin light truck similar to most other countries’ command jeep.
– finally, the last cargo unit is the CH-53D heavy helicopter, known in Israel’s service as the Yas’ur. – in the early 80’s Israel started upgrading its cargo truck fleet with Oshkosh heavy trucks, more commonly known in Wargame as the HEMTT. – Tzahal’s workhorse when it comes to hauling supplies back & forth between the FOB and the frontline is the good ol’ M35 2½-ton cargo truck, nicknamed Rio in the IDF. – as each and every country ingame, Israel will have a FOB, the only ingame building, to re-supply & repair friendly units. So, here is an exhaustive review of the Israeli roaster ingame. We’ll be on Twitch at 12:30PM EDT / 9AM PDT to play against our community. Nation Pack: Israel will be released tomorrow, on Tuesday, October 4th, at 12PM EDT / 9AM PDT (check the time in your time zone here), bringing 96 new units for this nation to Wargame: Red Dragon.
