i think that this theory isn’t true, gaijin just don’t want to anger their main player/payer base, especially when it’s about Israel.

They use NATO sources for Soviet equipment, and your post is [probably unintentionally] calling those NATO sources propaganda…
Gaijin cannot legally post the sources for every decision; whether due to contracts they’ve signed [the big one] or other issues, especially related to copyright.
I have no comment on Merkava armor other than mass changes have never and will never change armor thickness.
Just research things before addressing them.
But thats what happend
In the dev server the merks had good armor but gaijin said it cant be that good cuz the weight
exactly but buddy/other people don’t seem to want to hear/recall that gaijin literally said this

The higher armour values weren’t just on the Dev Server, they also went through to the Live Server for a short while.
But from what I recall, it was merely a bug that’s been seen on vehicles in the past. The T-90M and Leopard 2A4 also had this bug with their armour values being too high, but at least those were fixed before the patches went live.
I think they publish new vehicles intentionally over powered so people will try to grind inorder to get them…
Then they release them with the intended value

Lol be fr
T90m is still amazing vehicle and it probably did was a bug
And ofc pantsir kh38 and bvm what can i say such a weak nation
The merk ik they said it shouldnt be so strong and nerfed it on purpose not cuz a bug
Idk where they said it but justin did talked about it and its well known
Its probably on some old small patch page
The T-90M and Leopard 2A4 with bugged armour never made it past the dev server.
Firstly, the T-90M is among the worst 12.0’s, the T-90M is worse than a T-80BVM and the T-80BVM is already quite average right now.
Secondly, so let me get this straight: The T-90M with those Dev Server armour values was a bug. The Leopard 2A4 with Dev Server values was a bug, but the Merkava with the exact same issue was somehow not a bug.
Exacly
If it was a bug gaijin wouldnt need to exuse the nerf
Also they nerfed it after ppl start complaining the merks are too good
Coincidence?
I think not
“At some point,” while there has been no communication for 3 years from the developers.
No one is happy with this response, Gaijin.

Can you link me to Gaijin’s statement? I don’t recall there being one.
That doesn’t make any sense.
There’s always someone complaining about something, so if it gets nerfed at any point it technically ‘‘Got nerfed after complaints’’.
Idk where it is it might even be on the old forum
But its undeniable dude many ppl are aware of this im not making this up
It wasent “someone”
The ppl that main the big 3 couldnt stand a israeli vehicle being good (omg god forbid jews know how to make good vehicles) so they start crying
And well shortly after a big unrealistic merkava nerf
I’m sorry to say, but we’ve fully arrived at ‘‘Trust me bro’’ territory.
People generally didn’t care at all because they don’t play it themselves, they rarely fight them due to their rarity and people are less interested in them as a historical subject compared to an M1 Abrams or Leopard 2.
I’ve also done some digging, and your argument is completely falling apart.
Only the LIC version carried over the overperforming armour from the dev server, all other Mk 4 Merkava’s did not. It was always an unintended bug.
I did mention the LIC being the only one with good armor in dev, but that then got fixed. It was a bug. I don’t deny that the Merkava has barely any armor, but people forget that it was meant for shaped charges like RPG’s, or in game what is counted as chemical. If I had to guess, it might lack at most 100KE armor in terms of kinetic, but aside from that there isn’t further proof.
What taints the Merkava armor is that certain people lie (or are just unaware) by making false claims compared to others who actually research, like once saying a Merkava taking a hit from a Kornet from the side and barely penetrating, when in reality that was just friendly fire (during firing excerises iirc)

U can not belive it but there is actual videos of cc talking about it
U be suprised
I wasent aware of that and i will search on it but
Gaijin still needs to buff merkava armor regardless
I would not believe the words of a CC if no sources are shown, or at the very least some images
