The Namer can actually kill the BMP-3 and MTLB's, it just takes quite a few shots to take them down.

* To kill MEC tank, it need to be hit with 2 hats, while IDF tank is successfully destroyed with only 1 HAT.

I don't think this is quite right. No HAT should take two shots if you aim it in the correct place. Usually the rear-side near the engine compartment can put it on fire after a couple of seconds.

However the IDF Matador HAT is stupidly innaccurate at ranges exceeding 200m, and considering you will hardly ever get that close to enemy armor on IEagle, its effectively useless. I remember a developer commenting that its due to the short time at which it takes to deploy, however this way too big of a tradeoff and it should be much more accurate than it already is.

To be balanced out the BMP-3's should be removed and MTLB's take their place, but with the addition of the BMP-2M it should get a little bit more balanced.

While I agree that the IDF seem to have some sort of disadvantage on Iron Eagle (I haven't figured it out yet...), but I feel the vehicles aren't very unbalanced:

* MEC BMP can kill enemy apc & also tank, while IDF apc can't kill BMP nor tank.
* To kill MEC tank, it need to be hit with 2 hats, while IDF tank is successfully destroyed with only 1 HAT.
~It depends where you hit the tank. The Merkava Mk4 is a large tank and is easier to hit the side armour with AT on, thus an easier kill.

~The IDF APC also has the armour of a tank, so within Bijar (mainly, it can be effective elsewhere), the Namer can be a powerful anti-infantry vehicle.

* MEC have 3 supply trucks, while IDF have 1 supply truck & 1 supply apc.
~I could have sworn the IDF got 2 Logistics Trucks and a M113 ACV... I'll have to check that.

* MEC have Tow vehicle while IDF don't.
~Said TOW vehicle has to stop for 14 seconds about, has no thermals, is easily killed(can be killed with small arms[i.e. a pistol to be extreme], has limited FOV. While the IDF Tank is equipped with ATGMs that can 1-Hit anything on the MEC side(I would know because I've been on the receiving end multiple times.) and said ATGM can be fired on the move(does not have to wait to fire).

* MEC have AA vehicle while IDF don't.
~Asymettrical warfare, both sides don't need to have the same exact capabilities as the other. I hardly ever see the Gopher used, but I also don't think the IDF have a SPAAG/SPSAM made for the game yet.
