Machbet

Description

The Machbet is a rank Israeli SPAA with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Wind of Change".

An upgrade of the Hovet, the Machbet features 4 all-aspect infrared-tracking stinger missiles that allow it to engage long-range targets and an IRST tracker that is more reliable than the AN/VPS-2 which also doesn't trigger aircraft RWRs.

General info

Survivability and armour

Despite its low armor, the Machbet has the particularity of being able to withstand some misplaced shots, but pay attention to the HE shell that are able to destroy instantly the vehicle .

Beware also of tanks equipped with machinegun above the calibre 7.62 , these tanks can easily penetrate the sides of the vehicle

Usage in battles

The Machebt is a very good anti-aircraft vehicle if we know how to manage it, it excels in 2nd or 3rd line, it will however have difficulty in the BR 10.0 and higher and will have to concentrate exclusively against the helicopters but will however face flares. 

Pros and cons

Pros:

- Have the powerfull M168 20mm who can shred planes and helicopters

-Have acces stock with FIM -92 stinger

-Access to FIM-92K ( proxi : 5m radius )

-Lightweight with good horsepowers

-Thermal imager

-Laser rangefinder

Cons:

-No armor

-20mm can only be succesfull within 2km

-Stinger can sometimes be annoying

History

Devblog

After the M163 VADS began being decommissioned from American service, the vehicle was heavily exported to foreign operators. Israel was one of several states which adopted the M163 VADS into its own military under the name ‘Hovet’ in the early 1980s. By the early 1990s however, it was realized that the system required modernization. As such, the IAI company was tasked with developing an upgrade package.

Together with General Dynamics, IAI upgraded the Hovet’s fire control system and equipped the vehicle with a Stinger missile launcher, in an effort to increase the vehicle’s effectiveness against low-flying jet aircraft. Following successful testing of the prototype in 1997, the vehicle was formally accepted into service with the IDF under the name ‘Machbet’ in 1998. In the upcoming years, several of the older Hovets were modernized to the Machbet standard. However, the Machbet only saw a short service life with the IDF. Because of changing tasks and requirements, the Machbet was officially withdrawn from active service in 2006.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
