Merkava 4 armor is long overdue to be buffed

Not really, like Gaijing model these things quite badly but I don’t think Magach 7C and Galbatsh have KE proof ERA, it’s more like earlier ones just like M60s.

Good to know, galbatsh when played at br is fun to play, how about the zoom on magach7c, its worse than the batash is there a reason why?

Maybe Gaijing have sources, IDK.

Ya that could be the case, i certainly don’t know the optics of the magach7c, is there any one in the forum that does?

The magach 7C doesn’t have ERA actually, well not ingame at least. It just has Composite armor (with incorrect thickness and KE protection values) that is spaced on top of the normal M60 Turret armor. The Hull also has composite armor on it, but it’s less plentiful.
Essentially ingame they’re both only good against chemical threats, and still have nearly the exact same protection as any M60 against KE threats.

That Magach 7C was developed in the 90s, and the armor it used is still classified today. It’s very likely able to withstand KE threats, and my best guess would be a turret of ~450mm KE protection, and ~400mmUFP/350mmLFP KE protection would be the more realistic armor values it should have ingame. However gaijin would need to relabel the armor types as well as provide effective KE multipliers to it. Ingame the “composite armor” found on the magachs and merkava yield a lower KE multiplier than rubber fabric screens do… its crazy man…
Aside from the Gal Batash side turret armor, that Magach is also extremely lackluster when it comes to KE protection, and that makes a lot of sense. It is more chemical threats oriented than the Magach 7C if you ask me, and the presence of ERA makes that more clear. Shouldn’t really be any changes to it, it’s about as realistic as it gets from my understanding.

The only person who may know info about optics of the Magach 7C/Gal Batash that I can think of would be @ofekk213 , as he wrote a forums suggestion for the Magach 7C back before it was added.

M322 + M338 = M332

Haha, it seems that Gaijin has not understood why the 11.3 Mekava 4 is better than the 11.7 Mekava 4M,What is the fundamental reason?

I don’t know, better move them all up to 12.0, because they are totaly on par with Leo 2A7 and STRV122LGBTQ++

there are a bunch currently, one of them got accepted and another got a duplicate tag, so they know about it. It’s either not at the top of their “to-do” list, or it’s a complicated fix :(

And not working half of the time together with the laserwarner.

Only russian vehicles are the first to get fixed in the updates, Most other nations just receive nerfs lol

It took 6 days to nerf Challenger 3 (TD)’s engine from 1500 hp to 1200.

It’s taking months to fix the 1200 value to 1217.

It took a few days to nerf M735 on a wrong bug report.

It’s taking over a year to fix it on the correct bug report that was made immediately after the nerf.

Always the same story…

It took Chinese players nearly 3 years to get ZTZ99A fixed, now the model is right, but Gaijing added holes in the turret, and hull armour -200 KE -400 CE. LOL I wonder if it is a fix or a nerf in the name of a fix.
Are they ever going to fix French Israeli or Chinese tanks, meh.

Remind me in 5 years when this thing is still not fixed.
