Thats in-game. Whether there’s such a thing russian bias or not, it doesn’t make sense that the Merkava Mk4 is that poor against KE shells.

This wasn’t a Kornet, it was a training accident. One Merkava ended up with an M339 hit to the side.
Perhaps some here already know about this but I´ve found a patent by Rafael which I´m convinced describes Merkava 4 armor effectiveness against APFSDS. A bug report based on this research is overdue but should result in a significant buff to the armor ingame.

In my opinion, someone here can collect all the evidence we have in this discussion and create a bug report.
In my opinion they won’t give a shite.

A music video would get a Russian tank buffed but somehow every other tank needs sekrit documents signed by Baphomet and George Washington themselves.
I remember what happened with the Abrams months ago and people handing out legit documents confirming that the Abrams actually got a buff in its armor but all we got is a reload buff that nobody asked for.
I really would like to see in this coming update zero premium vehicles added and some actual bugs and missmodeling tanks get fixed.

where did you get that from?
I remember quite well when it was first reported, circa 2018-2019. Read the news on Sturgeon Forums.

hey everybody, just a quick question, does anybody know what is this big block above the engine where the soldier is standing on?
He is standing on the left turret modular armor part.
Are you sure? I’ve never seen this armor part on any of the Mk3’s
you can literally see it one the same image.
I was probably not clear, I meant this thing…
thats not a part of the turret, it seems to be part of the access hatch or part of the hull armor
Is there a chance that it could be extra armor for the hull, an upgrade from the Merkava Mk2 variants?
could be, but it doesnt seem to go across the hull, it is just in the side,
No idea, tho it seems like they replaced the engine so they might have needed to take that out for the moment
Its literally this part homie
No way, the part I mentioned seems to be wider, also I think that the left turret armor is exactly behind that
