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

22

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?

Agree. Merkava should be heavier and less armoured

25

It is not and u said that such a light tank cant have good armor so what about leo?
And abrams

26

The difference is that one is covered in 5 times the armor.

27

The diffrance isnt that big

28

Yes, it is. You don’t grasp how much more armor coverage is on the Merkava.

Well if u make that sloe like a challenger at least give it the best armor in top tier like it should have and for god sake gaijin need to make the engine stronger in therm of stopping rounds

U know what i will ask my friend that is a merkava commander about the weight and i will come bavk to u tomorrow

31

I already know the weight. I’ve spoken to Merkava crewmen and gotten my sources from the IDF as well.

32

If u say so.
Why do u want to nerf the merkava so badly so what if its a bit lighter i dont see u complaining about the name which is overweight and slower then it is irl

33

You’re literally not listening. You didn’t read my post at all.

34

I read it i said if u have proofs so be it but if u add the weight so add the armor too

35

Ive said it times and times and im sorry for mentioning it once again. I’m a Merkava 4 gunner, and im telling you the weight is not 65, its between 82-85.7 tonnes (depends on the variant).
Please stop saying nonsense and spreading misinfo.

36

I didnt saw it but any way why u want to nerf the merkava so bad when its allready not great

37

We keep telling you the reason for the armor as it is ingame, is BECAUSE Gaijin thinks (and rightly so) a vehicle without that much weight, cant be as armored as we claim. Can you stop trolling?

So you want to nerf the Merkava even more
First they have to make it DM53-proof frontally and then we talk about 72 tons.

So, 1250 mm of chemical protection frontally and 690 mm of kinetic, with the weight of 72.2 tons estimated.
