Israel's Tank Merkava Mk4 M Front Turret Armor Issue

The Israeli tank “Merkava Mk4 M” has some front turret problems in the “Protection Analysis” mode, and i do not know but it might be also in combat(when playing in battles). The armor has some weird things happening, for example, in one place its saying the armor is equal to ~650mm and then in a different place which is super close to the last one it shows it has an armor of ~450mm(if you take an APFSDS shell with penetration of 550mm+ and hover with your mouse on the Merkava Mk4 M’s front turret, you will see the armor equivalent changing very fast from high to low or from low to high). Just look at the pictures attached, they show how the armor is changing for some reason even with the fact that the armor is the same(somewhere between 450mm-600mm of composite armor with NERA elements as they said) and the sloping angle is the same(somewhere between 16-18 degrees). I hope that you will read this topic, check the issue and fix it. Thanks for your support.

Most, if not all the Merkava’s have issues in armor. Don’t get me started on the engine just letting darts pass through as if it isn’t there.

yeah, it really doesn’t make sense
