All simulators operate on the same rules.
People aren’t getting upset at DCS and Steel Beasts to this extent…
Coming up on nearly a year and we still haven’t gotten a fixed trophy aps yet. Let alone some fixes for the spyder. I’m actually gonna walk away from this game until they do something ab these problems cause I’m so tired of getting on here and seeing nothing changing.

The Trophy APS bug report is not a year old, and complicated bugs can require extensive labor finding the cause and finding a fix.
There are thousands of vehicles to choose from to play, and I don’t know if hardkill is even as useful anymore now that CAS is significantly down.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
How would they know?
You literally take things so out of context again. I said nearly a year and no fix. And yes it has been nearly a year. If you’ve been keeping track of this problem then you would know that what I said is true. And I’m sure everyone else that is knowledgeable on the situation would agree

Because they are designers of the tank… And it’s the only tank in the world to set it’s max priority on crew survival…
It’s really simple if they was any army that claimed we have the most protected vehicle look at all this sacrifices we make to get this result, then you can contest the claim… but there isn’t. Merkava makes heavy consitions to get it’s level of protection

Ca you direct me to some ? What to google, i have actually searched it
The Merkava, yes.
Not the Leopard 2A7V, M1A2 SEP v3, T-90M, Type 10, etc. etc.
Every nation claims they’ve got the best tank, doesn’t mean they do or that there even is such a thing.

There is some intrview with a german general talking about it but idk where to find it
I will try to look for it
If ur in shiryon archives server in discord u can ask for things like

Who ever claimed it’s the best tank ? It’s actually a bad tank by world standards, that’s why it’s design is not copied elsewhere.
But in terms of crew survivability and answering Israels needs it is the best.
It’s like the swedish S-tank. Was it the best in the world ? Hell no, was it the best in what it was meant to do ? Yea…
I’d think the T-84 Oplot M/2M is better than the Merkava at that task. (Crew protection). As the engine, if it goes it can be over. Especially with the lack of lower track protection, it’s APS doesn’t intercept darts (doesn’t need to as they haven’t ever fought modern MBTs at all, and seemingly don’t intend to), & lower hull side hits would be really bad. Not to say the rest of its armor isn’t good against Chemical. But repeated hits to similar areas doesn’t seem likely it would make it (seeing as how catastrophic the armor array peels and explodes apart).
If we could get sources down on this to get its armor at least mostly 3Bm42 immune? That would be nice. Me personally I just want its armor buffed for balancing reasons. If they can’t do that, at least buff trophy to give players reasoning to grind for something lol. Also change the Namers weight if not its armor it doesn’t make any logical sense (and I’m not great at math, so you know it’s bad).
Hm. That’s strange. I seem to remember the Rafale having a video used as a source to change its fuel weight in flight. That’s so strange.
Could you perhaps be wrong?

I’m not really sure about that, if we are talking about just stoping penetrators from all directions… then maybe ? But Ukraine defence industry is not a well developed as Israel has less connection more isolated ecc… I would be surprised to see if they can squeeze higher protection levels than the Merkava. But anything can happen.
But main problem of the BM is that nasty, disgusting carrousel…how I hate seeing these russian dudes evaporate like this. Disgusting vehicle these soviet tanks. These tanks are relics of soviet philosophy that has no place in modern times.
*I’m gonna ignore the “they don’t intend to fight other tanks” as it will fire up my gastritis.
What exactly are you talking about here? The Merkava’s design is not replicated elsewhere because other countries designed their vehicles for different doctrines and restrictions. Israel’s territory doesn’t have bridge weight limitations that most NATO AFV and MBT try to stay within.
Furthermore, if the Merkava was a “Bad Tank” by world standards, why does it retain the best track record of all modern tanks in recent conflicts? Militant groups such as Hezbollah have weapons no different than those Russia uses, yet Israel’s Merkava tank remains nearly untouched despite fierce fighting.
The representation of the Merkava in War Thunder is an extreme distortion of truth, and those who believe “it was only designed to fight chemical threats” are deep within a common lie. Even when the Merkava Mk.4 was designed, Urban Combat was not the primary concern of IDF forces.

It’s a bad tank not because it’s underperforming, or because it’s weak. It’s bad because of logistics. Israel is a small place, without any bridged… population is small cannot afford to have prolonged yearlong conflicts. They need fast wars. So the merkava is perfect for this as it protects the crew at all costs, just give them more tanks engine and they will fight.
Other countries are large or fight overseas… imagine of you not only needed to move an abrams 3000 km, but few more engines and armor modules for the turrets…you could have just brought another abrams !
Merkava is a strong tank, but a bad machine for long ww2 style wars where production is king
