Howdy Y'all!

My name is BasherBenDawg8, and today I'm proud to present to you a little project I've been working on, a fully envisioned War Thunder Israeli Aviation Tech Tree containing every vehicle the Israeli Aviation Tech Tree could theoretically get in the future! Each vehicle inside this tree has a very thorough and dedicated section about it, containing (hopefully) everything you'd be looking for or want to know about each vehicle! This took forever to make, as I spent between 30mins-3hrs+ researching each vehicle to find details about it that may not have been present in places such as war thunder forum suggestions created for them. That doesn't mean they're free from having errors, so if you spot one (whether it be formatting, grammar, historical, or visual) be sure to let me know!

---

With that being said, here's everything the tree contains!

The following tech tree contains aircraft that were used in IAF service, owned by or used by Israel based military companies, aircraft modified by Israeli companies, or aircraft in HAF service. Nations that act as existing subtrees, or nations whose vehicles have been specified to be delegated to a certain tree in particular exclusively, have their vehicles exempt from this envisionment whether they have Israeli links or not, namely Indian aircraft.

(Every vehicle's information is as detailed as I could make them, and even pre-existing aircraft have details such as current Bugs or Inaccuracies present on their displayed information. Be sure to recheck each vehicle even if they're in the game, you could learn about some bugs you didn't know about earlier!)

Author's notes:

• As stated earlier, this tree contains a lot of aircraft based on multiple different circumstances that would allow them to be present in this tree. As such, there could be plenty of aircraft I missed that could have a place in this tree, so be sure to let me know if you think I missed one so I can look into them! 

• I'm not perfect, and as such there could be errors, missing details, historical inaccuracies, or other issues that I highly urge you to bring to my attention if found! Message me on the War Thunder Forums under the handle BasherBenDawg8, or on Discord if you ever find me around there.
