Israel is the worst nation to play in, and Raam Sagol is a useless headache

I think 11.0 is good for mk3.

I’d say 11.0 would be a good br for the Mk3s including the raam sagol. They used to be 10.7 before the raam was added and were probably doing a little too well hence why they were moved up. I think if they got a 5 sec reload and maybe the Lahat 11.3 would be fine but until then I’d say 11.0.

Which others? Adding to this, you don’t even play with Israeli ground vehicles to give an opinion on the vehicle’s performance.

Which ones? The cannon and the smoke, because I already told you they’re not relevant? Adding to that, the only one you’ve played with is the premium 2D Merkava, which is very good and performs well, but you haven’t played the Raam Segol or any Merkava MK3. It’s clear you don’t know its real advantages or disadvantages if you haven’t even tried it.

all the stuff you were wrong about, its hard to miss, theres a lot of it, for example you said the merk 3 had rounds in the turret like 3 times when it just doesnt

  1. I have friends who play them and I trust their opinions
  2. you keep comparing the merkava to tanks which you have either not played or only played a few battles in, which to be honest makes me just as qualified to talk about them, considering I’ve hardly been talking about the merkavas performance, mostly I’ve just been refuting your sometimes very questionable arguments
  3. bringing up the statcard opens a whole new can a worms. Considering your own stat card, my diagnosis is that in the merkavas you’re performing about the same as you normally do in the rest of your tanks, which is to say, exceedingly average at least in terms of k/d, but you’re losing battles a fair bit more (around 10%). So in the merkavas you’re either not supporting your team as well, probably playing more aggressively than you should in a merkava (considering you play a lot of lighter, faster tanks). Which is clearly not a playstyle that suits the merkavas because of all the reasons you yourself have listed. I myself often have trouble with this same problem, as most of the tanks I started playing were light tanks, so now I and terrible at playing heavier tanks. or youre just getting bad teams while playing israel at top tier, which may be true because you have similar stats in the merkava to your russian and US tanks, even though you perform decently in germany, the UK and sweden. if the UK werent there I would just put it down as benefiting from very good tanks, but because the UK is there I haven’t got a clue.

my advice is that you need to play the merkava more cautiously, its not a leopard, you shouldnt playing thinking that youll be able to survive being shot, stay around your team more and play more of a support role, defend caps more and dont snipe, use your high pen round to punish people who arent being cautious

Leo 2a4 copy? It’s called an Arjun and it’s nothing like a Leo. Also you can’t ignore the majority of Indian equipment which is Russian.

i take it you have no idea about the Arjun then, the Arjun is in fact a leo 2a4 copy

It was developed together with the german company kmw, the developer of the leopards as well.
You need to understand that there is multiple versions of a leo. And in at least the appearance the Arjun copied the leopard 2a4. Not necesarily the performance but in plans and doctrine

There are multiple variants of the Arjun too and the playstyle of the Arjuns will be nowhere near the Leos.

nicely learned of you. You are aware thats just add on armor on the original leo 2a4 copy right?
Its not a new constructed / developed tank, but just the upgraded version.
Facts stays arjun mk 1 in all its variants is a leo 2a4 copy co developed by kmw.
Mk2 are upgrades put onto that arjun mk1

No? first of all, the Arjun was not a direct copy in the first place. Secondly, there’s more than just Add-on armour. Each modification the Arjun gets the more it diverges from the Leopards. Your basically calling a widely - accepted indigenous tank a Copy of an existing tank which isn’t true.

lws etc yes, still add ons

yes mk 1 still always will look like a 2a4 copy cause its based on it

buddy, most people call it the 2a4 copy for a reason, specialy cause it was co developed by kmw.
It is an indiginous tank, but still can be a 2a4 copy

KMW didn’t stick around and the DRDO did most of the work after the initial designs.

  • The Arjun uses Kanchan, an indigenous composite Armour developed by India.

  • The Arjun can fire SAMHO (an indigenous ATGM) and LAHAT (an Israeli ATGM).

  • The Arjun can also fire PCB (an indigenous round).

Together with it’s slower speed, ERA, Indigenous composite armour, slower rate of fire compared to some Leo 2a4 variants, and domestic + Israeli ATGMs, the Arjun will have a completely different play style.

And still looks like a bad attempt of an leo 2a4 and again learn reading
