Ah, look at this… Merkava’s right front sponson armor gives us a glimpse of what the whole UFP should be…
Unfortunately, for some reason, it’s just the right sponson front armor. Then the actual hull goes down by 33%.
EDIT: This is only on LIC lol, M and B don’t have that stronger sponson.
Always wondered what the in game differences were between those two Mk.4Bs, other a slight visual change or two around the sights and exhaust if I recall.
Random Q for ya (if you by any chance you know the answer to it): Is there anything else that should be different between them in game or are they pretty realistic as is being near carbon copies.
In reality the mk4 lic has a special steel mesh protecting the optics on the tank but other than that there is no other difference.
That was the only difference I was aware of (along with the mine protection modification). Honestly they probably should have just made it a modification for the Mk4B given how little differences there are between the two.
400 is too low for 80 tons. It’s almost double the T-72 in weight. I’d personally suggest 600mm hull.
well you use the misslie that pen 1200mm in any range and armor is only 927mm so that is normal
here is my test with the top round
No kidding…you need to listen. I AM TALIKING ABOUT WHAT GAIJIN WILL DO. Not what makes sense.
Keep dreaming about the BIG changes though. The Gaijin track record totally supports that. /s
That’s incorrect. The Kornet cannot penetrate the Merkava almost anywhere.
I don’t agree with that since you could practically make the mk4b and the mk4m the same because of some modifications. For example: an merkava mk4 crew member told me that he is in a merkava mk4a-b-m which is a merkava 4b with an added aps ( to my knowledge this information is not classified)
It’s been at least 2 years since the armor bug report has been acknowledged
The rear may have been obliterated but It doesn’t seem to have penetrated
totally agree with you .
No penetaration . Merkava proved its armor against chemical projectiles in Gaza, after 8 months only one vehicle was destroyed.
The Yasin 105 rocket is similar to the PG-7VR rocket, which is even weaker because it is made in a workshop and does not have the ability to penetrate the Merkava hull.
yo where do you find these images?
Judging by the surroundings of the namer it seems to be in some sort of temporary military encampment inside Gaza where it is going to be repaired.
I’m guessing that’s the mk4 right?
You also can clearly see that the tank wasn’t penetrated
Yes, that’s indeed MK4. I just want to show the damaged turret armour module.
Gaijin: ah wow, totally made of cardboard :DDD
