Merkava 4 armor is long overdue to be buffed

its simple really, they would focus on the nations that makes them money the most
except that they only really care about adding new ways to monetize and russia tech tree

me when abrams depleted uranium armor

Gaijin you guys should play in the MerkavaMk4!
They set the armor value low just because they never get to ride it themselves.
We are always scared of even 105mm APFSDS!

All im seeing in this picture, which i know where it was taken from, it says:
“although the armor and engine were upgraded the engineers were able to keep the weight of the merkava mk3”

And thats what gaijin is saying so maybe i misunderstood you.

For starters, can you prove that it isn’t? The tank is highly classified.

Secondly, even if it isn’t, Gaijin stated that the top-tier tank values are based on balance, not realism. If this is to be taken seriously, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if tanks other than the Leopard and T-80BVM had a chance to shine?

The armor is SLERA. It should withstand a hit and act similarly to Russian ERA.

It’s thicker and more advanced than Russian tanks. It has a greater angle at the front too.

Gaijin saying that merkava cant be that good as the sources claims(on par with 2a7 and even better) with this weight
But this site saying it does have upgraded protection while having the same weight as previous variants probably israel engineers found a new armor tech so this debunk gaijin exuse to merkava being cardboard

I want the Merkava to be as good as other top tier as much as you, but you make yourself sound like a child. All you are saying is speculation.

Why is that?
If the armor should be good with this weight gaijin doesnt have an exuse to keep merkava bad

But they do have an excuse. Minor nation do not generate as much money as major nations. As a result, buffing minor nations will make players play those nations, but without buying prems, or buying less because the grind is not as hard/long.

Because of this loop, they will never fix Israel, its just not efficient or contributing to their business model. I mean look at france, poor thing has only JUST started getting buffed, with the leos, the Rafale, and some SPAAs, even though it has been in the game for SUCH A LONG TIME.

well said, but it still doesn’t change the fact that they need to drastically revamp the Israel TT and put some work into it. from what im gathering in this next major update, we are getting more top tier CAS and Israel still doesn’t have any top tier SPAA and still have nonexistent armor for everything

The leaks have nothing for Israel, so IMO its either going to be a BOMB update for Israel, or a “kill me, i’d like to stop caring so much about a video game” type update for Israel

And we all know from experience what type it’ll be :)

Man, I’m still waiting for the Tiran 5, but the Merkavas need an armor upgrade anyway, especially the later models with composite armor, like the Merkava 2D, 3D and all 4s.

If they don’t get an Spaa soon I’m gonna freak, at very MINIMUM give the chap its smokeless motors and uncaged seeker that it HISTORICALLY had. It’s basically unplayable as is.

Could swear the Namers are better Anti-air, especially vs Helis and low flying jets

They definitely are lol, just shot down an SU34 yesterday with the cannon and I love the heli rushers.

The devs said that there are some vehicles that were more vehicles coming to the dev sever so we might see something for israel
