I don’t have them yet, the mk3d premium is useless garbage stay away from it
Yes, if you compare the Mekava MK3 and Sabra carefully, you will find that the MK3 has basically no advantages except for the higher engine horsepower and faster, and even some conveniences are worse (such as reloading speed). The BR of the MK3 is still too high, and it would be better to adjust it to 10.3 or lower.
It could stay where it is if they buff the armor
which they wont lol
Imagine what would happen if israel gonna get the best mbt in game😂
I mean realistically the merkava is best against ATGMs but any of them will shred through the armor

bro means brother so i refuse lmao yourself
Made a report proposing thickness changes to Merkava and Namers frontal armor based on their own visual model, and i think it makes sense

Are we really that surprised about this though?
Gaijin has not shown any interest in doing anything but make the Merkava series’ armor worse.

Crazy to me, the fact you can literally see the issue with your eyeballs and they still turn a blind eye

Ahh no the realistic merkava armor will be on par with leo 2a7 if not stronger

Lmao i wouldn’t go as far, but this is just terrible moderator abuse on their part.
U have another idea why they keep closing the bug reports?
They dont even ignore just stright up closing it all tho there is tons of evidance
And its not like merkavas are well performing nah israel win rates arent great(correct me if im wrong) and we allready suffers from the lack of spaa so why not buff the merkavas???
They should just add the newer Merkava Mk4’s. The first Mk4 got into service in 2004. To compare, the Mk4.M 400 got into service at ~2020, basically it has 16 years of technology changes and of course, better armor. The Merkava “Barak” got into service at 2023, almost 20 years after the first Mk4 got into service. I think that this is the only way Gaijin would agree to add Merkava Mk4’s with realistic armor, and actually modern composites that WORK against KE and CE shells.
Dude the merkavas have a -8.5 degrees barrel depression but not modeled ingame the armor on the cheeks arnt model correctly
M4m400 is a m4m with better aps and fire control system but armor is the same
And its not gonna matter even if they add the barak they thinks merkava has nera armor when it has slera armor which is way better merkava should be on par with the leos but they dont want israel to be strong for some reason

They do have different armor. I dont know if they use somekind of armor kits(would make sense tho it uses modular armor) but whatever it has to be better than in 2004. 20 years of difference should provide some armor changes mostly after learning from Second Lebanon War and the wars after. Lots of ATGMs and RPGs were taken by the IDF so I’m sure that there are changes in the armor. And after all, many countries have got newer weapons/tanks including Iran, Egypt(even tho there’s peace, everything is unexpected) and Syria(some of their tanks were taken by the IDF in the last few weeks so here, more armor researching😂)

Source? Because the gun depression looks accurate to me
Ik that the barak has more armor but its all clasifies
