Merkava 4 armor is long overdue to be buffed

The Merkava Mk4 LIC suffered the same thing as IS-6.
They also never said anything in regards to that.

Yeah the trophy saves me from agm 179s. LMUR no, too much TNT

With the trophy i stoped succesfully jagm and the chinease FyF (dont know the name) one, LMUR not cuz its AOA its to high but works very well

yeah, but the front armor has problems with stop M22 shell xD

Merkava is the most broken Top tank in game with paper armor. Even Type90 has better armor in game. But talking with Gaijin is nonsense.

Yes ofc, but at least the trophy works now (kinda depressing two just accepting that) in my personal opinion i think that when Gaijin decides to make a big MBT update (Leo2a8,SEPV3) The Merkava Barak V might be coming and maybe just… maybe it will have better armor

Maybe, who knows, Gaijin is unpredictable

The merkava barak 5 doesnt bring better armor or anything significant for gameplay if it ever comes to the game
Irl it basically gets a vr headset that is linked to camera positioned all around the hull and turret giving the crew a 360° visual coverage allowing the crew to scan the battlefield without having the commander poking his head outside of the tank

It does have better armor
It has upgraded plates which ofc come with a bit more weight (someone sended a source here but i dont have it)
Ofc we dont know the exact effectiveness of this plates

Also it has better aps

I have nothing against israel its just that adding more merkava is pointless if they dont have anything that will make it different to the previous merkava
Israel is the first nation i grinded and i have everything researched in the tt

AI automatic target spotting, brings arcade to realistic battles

Going to call it now. All minor nations will get massive armor buffs to + 600mm only when Gaijin adds highly modern super tanks with high-penetrating rounds like T-14, KF-51, Abrams X, etc. Once we see shells that can pen over 800 or even 1000mm of armor, they will fix the Merkava, Leclerc, Ariete, etc. Even though at that point, any armor changes will be irrelevant.

Plus thermals in 3rd person lol

Yes

Oh i see, so do u tjink it deserves a armor buff or there isnt many sources for it ?

It’s the Merkava Mk.4 Barak. The Mk.5 does not exist yet, I’ve heard rumors that talks are finally underway for one, but this is still a Mk.4.
