Ah Merkava, your armor is so inconsistent and jank.
fr the armor is thin as peeper and all tankfront armor is very hard to pen and its almos imposible. The merkava is pen from all sides
crazy how the sabra turret is better protected than the merkava mk4 against KE
Tbf it really isn’t. The Sabra turret is 350+ all around and barely breaks 400 on side parts. The Merkava turret is completely immune to ~400mm flat pen round like M774 or DM23 120/DM33 105
on dev it could easily take 3bm15 and 3bm22, offering 512mm~ protection against APFSDS.
i wouldnt use the 3bm15 or 22 as a reference for protection, they perform really bad against sloped armor compared to the regular apfsds, especially the 3bm15
so which one would you’ve used? i’m trying to compare the ones from 9.0 range
105mm dm 33 it is probably the most common around this br and there are also lots of rounds that have similar performance, and if you use it you would see that the sabra’s turret can barely stop it, so that the turret offers 500mm a bit missleading as realistically only two small spots of the turrets actually ofers more than 400mm of protection.
500mm? Are you schizo??
Pics or it didn’t happen, cuz I only ever seen ~450+ on the outer most parts of the turret armor
dang, don’t have to diss me.
did you also read on dev?
What kind of round are you testing it with, and at what range? I get very different results when using APFSDS such as DM23 120, DM33 105, or even M774 (which the Merkava Mk.4 is nearly completely immune to).
I’m jus messing around lol
this was on dev server at 500 meters, i don’t know if they changed the armor on live.
When I checked it earlier it was definitely not 500+, IIRC it was around 450 - 460. The only spot that would actually block would be the armor around the barrel and that was only in specific spots
well it’s on the pic right there, in a certain period of time it was like this.
Looking at it on live server. That first pic of the right cheek (as if you are in the turret) in that same spot where it shows 527 it is ~425 against Kinetic and about 344 Kinetic where you took the second pic.
So they ensured it was just a lol-pen pinata before sending it to live.
Either that or it was just a pixel spot he got with high pens.
I’ve been testing the Sabra Mk.1 is damage analysis since Dev Server #1, and nothing about the turret armor has changed besides the newly modeled armor around the breech on the gun barrel. The damage model we have now is the same one as on the dev server.
