Why the top tier Russian and Chinese tanks have their own ATGMs but the Israeli top tier Merkava Mk3-4 don’t have it’s own ATGM? The Merkava Mk3-4 have already used their LAHAT ATGM in real life combat many times so it’s missing an historical part in-game. Also since the Merkava Mk3-4 are bigger and have worse armor in-game than the top tier Russian and Chinese tanks, they should be getting it at least to keep it somehow balanced, mostly after the next update where all Merkava Mk4 variants will have the same BR as a Leopard 2A7V(12.0)

I think Merk 2’s could also fire it, but were only tested. I’m quite surprised it’s still not added, considering that other nations also have gun launched ATGM’s.

mk2d onwards have def used it, unsure about the rest
Both Merkava 1 and 2 were tested on it yeah, but since Gaijin loves to balance things, they would be at BR 10.0 or higher just by using it… After all it can penetrate around 800-850mm of RHA under ERA and it’s flying almost like the way Spike ATGM does.
Still tho, there are many tanks that can fire ATGMs even in BR of 9.3, so why the Merkava Mk3-4 don’t have it in-game? They are taking “game balancing” to a whole new level when it comes to Israel…

Would be a great addition to a late Merk 2 like the 2D LIC we have yet to obtain. (Also is my memory foggy, or is there some kind of APS the Mk.2 and Mk.3 can mount? Kinda like a little tower on top or something by. Would be a neat addition along with the LAHAT to bolster some of the later Mk.2s.)

Yeah the ALWACS/Droid soft kill APS was what I was thinking of
