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
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.
I highly doubt they are making anything for israel ground this update. they literally only are changing the name of the main gun on the merkava mk4’s. its fucking tragic they would do that and not remodel merkava armor
