Okay but it’s easy to ambush the tank in a heavily urban area and basically ignore frontal armor, which is why Merkava is so heavy. It has to have armor on all sides in order to give adequate protection and most other tanks don’t really need to think about that scenario.
Pair that with the fact their neighbors are still in 20th century regarding their ground units, expecting Merkavas to be some 600mm+ KE shell eater doesn’t make sense.
Yes, that’s right. So in reality, the front alone can withstand 3BM42 to a certain extent, and since we’re anticipating threats beyond that (KE-W), I argue for over 500mm. Based on that, and considering the game’s data, I stated that since I can’t provide evidence it can withstand KE-W, the front hull alone should be 500mm KE.Well, 480 is fine, I guess…
I’d be overjoyed if you understood.
It should be able to stop BM42 and things up to 500mm of penetration, but anything more than that gets exponentially more unlikely with increasing the capability of the rounds.
Wow when u think gaijin cant ruin israel more
Massive mbt nerfs with still no proper spaas above 9.7
Also by far worst “light” tanks in top tier
wdym what nerfs
All merkavas getting internal modules
Now u think that with this big nerf they would buff its armor right?
Now think again
I just noticed this.
So it’s easier to disable engines with spall ?
Yeah pretty much. It affects everyone
Merkava the least I suppose.
I already call it “i got merkavad” when i try to reverse into cover , my engine gets hit and i can’t shoot back because of a wall or a stupid bump.
Can’t get worse in that regard.
“Oh u wont even belive what happend next”
Now u not only get ur engine disabled but also the power systems and i think also turret basket but im not sure
That’s surely bound to happen sometimes.
But at least Merkavas don’t come with NATO hump.
So, any news so far regarding the Merkava?
No, why there would be any news?
I (foolishly) enjoy having faith
at least we’re trying
Merkavas now got their turret modules(another nerf)
But fixing the armor? Nuh uh
Forget it, Gaijin will not fix them any time soon.
We are waiting for like 2 years its not a new bug
But ig u are right
