It’s always the same story.
Anything short of manuals is discarded.
But then manuals are discarded too for being classified.
It is evident that Gaijin’s current modern MBT armor modelling criteria DOES. NOT. WORK.
We need an integral rework of modern MBT armor implementation.
@David_Bowie Can you tell us of any progress on this? Thanks.

This is a sensible solution, you have my vote
Except when they have to solve a problem with Russian vehicles, then even a video on you tube is fine as a credible source.
For Gaijin everything non-Russian is ignored, it usually takes years before they decide to get off their lazy asses to solve it.
Challenger 2 :"Are there any stronger competitors?!"XD
The Challenger 2 is just sad for how little armor allows it to have when it’s that heavy and slow and can be penned in the turret cheek by DM33.
there no way its 80 tons its just exaggeration the new m4 barak weight 70+ and it has more armor then the m4m
also if u increse the merkava weight at least give it the realistic armor it deserved
Merkava 4M fully loaded is 85.7 tonnes according to a Merkava master gunner.
82 according to multiple IDF sources.
Do I need to pump a reply full of sources until you realize it’s impossible to disagree?
So all mbts ahould get their ammo weight not just merkava and as i said before if u raise the merkava engine so correct the armor to be good as irl
The Merkava’s ammunition does not weigh 20 tons.
All MBTs are given combat weight in game including fuel and ammo. Merkava should weigh 80t because that’s what it weighs it’s not because of ammo 😂
There is no way leo is 20 tons lighter then the merkava
Have you seen the difference in armor coverage???
The Merkava is covered in 200-600mm Composite in all directions aside from the some of the rear.
Thats what im saying so there is no way merkava weight 80 tons maybe with 6 more crew and their gear fully loaded but thats not modeld and it shouldnt be
Also merkava has mortar that can fire he but gaijin refuse to give it to the merk and also there is the lahat missile.
So before u nerf the allready nerfed merkava make this counter buff especially the armor
So why merkava armor is so bad?
Gaijin got the weight wrong and Russian/NATO players freaked out. Gaijin nerfed it by saying a tank with that weight and armor coverage can’t have that good of armor.
Gaijin has been proven wrong about the weight, time and time again. Gaijin has accepted the armor as being far too weak in both kinetic and chemical measures for a year. Gaijin has done nothing.
Gaijin will not fix the Merkava because they don’t want their Money-Making Nations to get pissed off.
Leo has very similar armor layout and it make sanse cuz israel designed the merkava with germany help im pretty sure and tank experts said that the merkava armor has the same effectivnes as the leo
Make sanse so why u want to nerf the merkava so bad?
Also merkava has only 1 ton more then the leo so this argument isnt valid
If you’re Alvis Wisla, just say it. You’re parroting his nonsense. The Merkava will only get its armor when the weight is corrected. Don’t be a fool.
What does this even mean?
