Enemy team was not great and only managed to spawn in couple planes and one single Mi28NM at the same time they spammed Pantsir’s in order to stop my F-15I while I was demolishing their remaining forces and their air units.
CAS still threat to players if its used by experienced players, some people say new SAM systems made it harder but actually it forced us to adopt much harder environment thus made us better CAS players in my book.
For example when I spawned in my JAS39C while I was playing my TKX I noticed IRIS-T and decided to spam my mavericks on it, guess what happened?
Due to my spam IRIS-T’s radar confused and all of its missile missed me while my mavericks destroyed him and his units Xd.

Play it out more and you’ll see what I mean. Its a really nice tank to use.
3 game was more than enough for me, due to knowing how butchered Merkava’s are compare to irl performance plus bein sized of building it doesnt feel charming to me anymore.
I guess I got used to small and nimble tanks which is why I prefer TKX/Leclerc and T-Series/VT-4’s on these days, tho Chally’s,M1A2’s and Strv122’s still hold special places in my heart so I try not to ignore them too much.
Maybe when Raam Sagol discount comes and I decide to purschase it I might comeback to Israel tech tree once again.
Until then I’m gonna stick with my other tanks.
Well, do you really want IRL Merkava weighing more than 85 tons…
Actually yes,the whole reason why I grinded Merkava’s was to be able to walk around like Yeager’s Xd.

- M735 is missing around 35mm of penetration.
- M774 is overperforming by around 25mm of penetration.
- M833 is generally performing correctly.
I have no idea what makes you think M774 and M833 are underperforming.

Which version you’re talking about? Cause as far as I know there is more than one M735 version out there and don’t know which version we have in game.
How good do you think the Merkava?
I think it’s among the top 3-4 worst, along with the Chally and Ariete.
Just read the posts that @CAS_is_Bаlаnced @Panther2995 and I made.
They’re 3/4th best behind the 12.7 Abrams and the Strv 122 / Leopard 2A7.

You truly don’t think the Merkava is even worth Top 10? 😅
Yea, not my style despite bein better than I remember.
Its just doesnt suit me anymore, tho I still have eyes on Raam Sagol 😄

Hey, premiums are premiums lol. Makes life a bit easier.
Although, quick question, is Israel worth grinding out? I’m debating it after I finish Italy but I don’t know if its really worth it. So asking someone who clearly has experience.

The whole reason why I want Raam it’s because it’s the only Merkava 3D model on Israeli tech tree and I just want it for collection.
There is something charming about D models on Merkava’s, that’s why pre ordered Merkava 2D when it was first showed up.
Depends on who you’re asking, to me its not for others yes its worth it.
Israel tech tree is neglected in most ways, most vehicles are implemented incorrectly in many ways while it lacks good portion amount of vehicles with different modifications.
For example we still don’t have Merkava3D tech tree model despite bein the best Merkava 3 model that was ever produced or how F-15/16’s lacks Python-4’s or how Sabra Mk II is still missing and how SPYDER is so garbage.
Not gonna even talk about armor protection on Merkava’s and Namer’s tbh.

I highly recommend Type-90/10 series.
They require high skill level but man they are so satisfy to use and judging you have experience with ıtaly you’re probably not gonna suffer but enjoy it a lot.
Wish you best during grinding if you’re not planning to buy premium vehicles tho Xd
