Gaijin: “Namer Tsrikhon and Namer 30 are the same, but TSRK has Trophy, so we must increase the BR.”
Also Gaijin: “Even though the Merkava Mk.4M has Trophy, it performs the same as the 4B, so we increase the 4B and LIC BR.”
tf is this company on
Both were shut down. I created two separate ones with a clear distinction between them.
Asking about Bug Reports seemingly forgotten on the Forums is forbidden for some reason.
They say, “Bug reports will be handled on the bug report site”, but it’s not being handled.
The problem with the patent in bug report is that it’s explaining in general the types of armor and then explains a different type NxRA that is using gas expansion to as the energy source for the reaction…
Then we come and say, look there are explosives in the armor from these photos… Which is fine it tells us that there are explosives, but it is not directly related to the patent that is talking about NxRA…
The only thing that is connects the merkava and the patent, is that it was published by Rafael and they define for the first time ( I believe at least) the word SLERA.
The thing is that we know that israel does not use this kind of armor (NxRA) as they won’t allow rafael to patent it for commercial use…
Also this patent is 20 years old already
So if you want to make a bug report what we should do, in my opinion,
1 - Find examples of any modern MBT of which they took a creative liberty and made a decision not based on actual data. That will show them that they are not alway factually correct, and they do take educated guess.
2. Explain with as much photos and where you can add measurements, the reason why it would be safe to assume a certain expected protection level from the merkava, from it’s doctrine, history, documents we can find ecc…
The patent by it self does not give us a lot to work with
This entire reply has nothing to do with the Protection Modifiers being unrealistically low. The bug report does not entirely rely on the Patent. Modern Composite Armor that’s barely over 10 years old does not have the same protection level as rubber.
I feel if we can’t get the armor buffs for ke right now then we should at least start with adding the iron vest system that’s been introduced since the merkava mk3. Give it some spall liners
From what I’ve seen, this could potentially only relate to the earlier Merkava Mk.4A, which iirc has an older type of armor compared to the Mk.4B/M, and the Mk.4 Barack further improves on top of that. (At least that’s what it appears, given the different visual appearance of the armor, which means it may very well be the same type of armor with a different geometric layout to it.) I also swear I once read somewhere the Mk.4A used NxRA and the turret used SLERA, or I might be mixing a vehicle or fact up, can’t cite my source as I don’t remember it but I thought it might be worth mentioning incase anyone here more knowledgeable has the ability to verify that
Dont forget the Israeli APS hasnt worked in… I dont even know, coming up on a year… yet they just added a new russian tank with functional APS this patch
