Merkava being a cardboard

So… You tell me that until we leak docs, then Israel Merkava players get Gayjin’d?

Main bug report on the incorrect and inefficient armor.
A year old (acknowledged 6 months ago) and still nothing new on the matter sadly.

Well… Then… We are ducked

yea thats the one i meant

pretty much, yea, it might at the very least get some minor improvements, but without much more proof, it wont

The images there tell the full story…
I’m pretty sure the merkava’s were really strong upon release, but got nerfed

they werent, the “strongest” variant was the LIC, which later on got normal merk 4 armor like now ingame

like ngl, this doesnt look like it can stop high calibre modern apfsds rounds

That’s an armor holes for some reason only found in the Merkava mk 4M i tested it out with a friend you can disable the engine with 50 cal if You hit it right

But most tanks at 11.7/12.7 use 120mm which can just one shot.
But when I shoot a 120mm at the leopard turret ring nothing happens.
THE TURRET RING

try shooting below the breach, which normally works, turret ring is a horrible go since the diameter of the ring is shorter than the diameter of your shell, which leads to shell getting stuck in it, also known as volumetrics

Tried it in a few matches… either “No Pen” or “Hit”
Only got one time where I got the gun…
I got gayjin’d

how do you get so unlucky with that lol, only twice it has happened to me

I guess I didn’t feed the snail…
Last match I shot a Marder 1A3 straight in the hull armor and I got “Ricochet”

i totally confirm that the Merkava is made from plastic (ingame)

Bro forgot to pray to the snail god

Are you shaming plastic?! It makes a 1mm paper look like an indestructible wall!
A 3mm thick paper puts this armor to shame.
