The reporting name Baz (“Falcon”) was assigned to all F-15 A/B/C/Ds purchased by Israel from 1976 all the way through to the 1990s, regardless of their specific models or configuration.They very quickly became a key component in Israel’s regional superiority — providing an umbrella that could not be challenged by any of Israel’s belligerent neighbors. Nevertheless, by the 1990s, the aircraft was being threatened by the capabilities of newer Soviet/Russian models of the Su-27 and MiG-29. An upgrade program resulted in the F-15 Baz Meshupar (lit. “Improved Baz”), more commonly known by the acronym BazMash. The first such aircraft was rolled out in late 1998, the same year that the first F-15I (Israeli-modified F-15E) entered service.
The Israeli F-15I Ra'am, meaning "Thunder of god" in Hebrew, is to this day the go-to plane for the Israeli air force, ever since 1998. It was developed from the American F-15E Strike Eagle, found in the US tech tree. They are extremely similar, and function practically identically in-game.
The Kfir Canard is an Israeli modification of the French Dassault Mirage 5, with a new General Electric J79 engine (the same found on the F-4E Phantom II), canards bolted onto the fuselage, and other changes including new avionics. In War Thunder, the Kfir Canard is one of the best-performing planes in terms of its flight characteristics, relying on its excellent flight performance to defeat opponents.
The A-4N is the most advanced variant of the A-4 Skyhawk available in War Thunder. It boasts an upgraded engine and an advanced weapons system for its Battle Rating. While its flight performance is modest, it can still hold its own in dogfights. Though its air-to-ground capabilities aren’t exceptional, the A-4N is effective at dealing with enemy anti-air vehicles. This versatility makes it a true jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
