In the upcoming Danger Zone update, Israeli helicopters come to War Thunder! A few words on history, initial line-up and the first look on the new to the game light attack helicopter MD 500 TOW.

In 1975 the Israeli Air Force received its first batch of 6 American Bell AH-1G Cobra strike helicopters, previously used in Vietnam. Israeli pilots enthusiastically began to master a new type of military aircraft and nicknamed the American helicopters Tzefa - “Palestine viper” - after the largest poisonous snake in the region. A little later, the AH-1G was replaced by the AH-1S equipped with anti-tank missiles, and the Hughes MD500 TOW light helicopters, also equipped with ATGMs to destroy armored vehicles. Israeli attack helicopters received a baptism of fire in 1979 where they were widely used in battle in the First Lebanon War, show... Read more

If you hover over the stat card, near the bottom, it says how long it takes to repair the vehicle. Some take hours, some take days, or longer.

Please provide more details if possible.
yes, I am speaking about the one awarded for shooting down 50 enemy aircraft in gunner view, I have reloaded the game several times and the problem seems to have gone away

Yeah, couldn't think of it off the top of my head, but it's on there.... The only way anyone else could see it, is if it went on the market, right? Thank you!!!

Yes. However, it depends on what settings other players have under Options > Customization of Vehicles > Show content in the battle.

Australia is part of the common wealth in which they should have their tank part of the UK branch like South Africa .
Either way the UK needs a squadron vehicle too and the Abrams would fit in and give players who play the UK branch another fun vehicle to play.

Hi. It's an American vehicle, operated by the Australians. Therefore it is fitted in the American tree. Similarly to how the Leopard C2A1 MEXAS is operated by Canada and in the German tree.

Kinda weird honestly considering the Cent 5/1 is on the British Tree and it's under an Australian flag.
