So this non answer given IS actually an answer. What he said was : I don’t care ( as he basically ignored all logic)…
So I’m gonna put on my tin foil hat : either they don’t really care for realismo and they just want to have the Merkava play in this way, or is there any chance that Gaijin is actually a russian asset, that is trying to bait classified information from over zealous players trying to prove some thing 😱.
We did hd some classified leaks in the past after all…
If that’s the case I’ll happily play a cardboard Merkava.
FR XD
im just gettin mad becuz the APS loosin 1 charge but not intercept the missile/rocket
i mean ye its doin the animation and the sound is the same but somehow the damge go through
its seems like someone is dont want do his job and the someone is gaijin becuz its been a thing for 6 months at least and nobody was on it to fix this issue …
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.
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
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.
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.
