The Israeli MBT That Absolutely BULLIES 9.7 - Sabra Mk.1 - War Thunder

[@thezenic_real]

a 590mm penning dart at 9.7 is probably the best 9.7 vehicle you can have. Paired with decent armor , it is amazing.

The nuke sound you heared at 7:55 its just a reminder for your and the Enemy team that theres an Nuke almost ready quit bad for you but its good if your enemy has one so you can get ready for it to intercept

[@Darknight_84930]

Me and my buddy was playing yesterday and we we re both on CAS planes going around to see the nuke for the rest of the battle 🤣

[@sebastiankillin7940]

It's not a reminder, it's a glitch.

[@schwartzprime3045]

i just want you to know, gaijin claims this is the "Final form of the magach" meaning that possibly, you won't see another, however this is the mark 1 and i think there's up til mark 3

[@TeurastajaNexus]

True. But the newer variants probably won't make that much of a difference. I'm gladly surprised that we got this.

[@leonardo-m2524]

Like the one turkey have ?

[@lemonscarab21997]

@@TeurastajaNexus Oh boy they DO make a difference, the 2020 M60TM which is basically just a Sabra Mk.2 that undertook Turkish modernisation. It has generation 3 thermals for the driver, gunner and commander all whilst having the PULAT APS which covers all angles of the vehicle. It also gets a remotely controlled 12.7mm machine gun and the standard LWS - it also comes with additional ERA making it possibly the best protected turret against chemical munition compared to in-game vehicles.

[@Kwisss]

@@lemonscarab21997 Any engine upgrades :C?

[@TeurastajaNexus]

@@lemonscarab21997 Thanks for correcting me. But considering the nature of this game, additional protection against CE threats doesn't matter that much when you get hit by APFSDS most of the time. Additional thermals and APS would be a fine addition for sure.

7:44 it’s a bug when you get 2,000 SP the nuke siren plays

[@joestueckrath5275]

I don’t mind that bug

[@lazylazer-bb6dq]

Dude this thing ROCKS, I immediately got it when it came out, it feels like a beast.

[@Minute_Sniper]

Idk about you guys but the turret of this tank looks like a large comical version of the ztz-96A

[@Scary_Rat]

7:49 thats just to signal that you almost have a nuke it happens at 2000sp

[@MrRazgriez666]

Respectfully that sounds stupid, as if the nuke wasn't hard enough to obtain and fly now the enemy will just spawncamp your airfield the rest of the match now

[@Aunzo91]

Yep, it's definitely a bad idea. It's like telling the opposing force that i will be getting the goods in about 5 minutes tops, then its already too late enemy have scrambed their fighters and AA.

[@shindeiru024]

Yeah definitely a shtty change. It just made me more inclined to continue steam rolling the other team than waste 2500 sp to a salty guy with a plane circling around our runway waiting for me

[@Miszorov]

​@@MrRazgriez666 Getting a nuke now is way too easy anyways, I'm only salty if the enemy team decides to camp the airfield even if they're going to lose in two minutes top whether I drop it or not.

[@neneseal5182]

Am I the only one who think armour is what make the sabra so unexpectedly strong? Like we know m322 is very strong at 9.7 but no one expects a glorify m60 having decent armour, I bounce sooo many shot playing it since player think the don't have to aim. Like this thing can tank a dm23 120 at mid distance, it's nuts.

[@neb1006]

I think the nuke siren maybe a warning that someone is about to get a nuke, which you almost had when it went off, seems to happen when someone is super close to one tho

[@Wons-ee]

[@larikauranen2159]

You forgot to mention that that M-60's got a buff to their reverse speed. Dont know how historical it is but it isnt T-series bad. Also i think they buffed the reverse of the T-96 series as well

Gaijin banning people for the bush thing is moronic since that usually happens after they change a model/resource and it bugs out the bushes applied to the vehicles.
