Well, from the look of things, if they somehow get their armor values corrected and perform as it should like what everyone is saying that they cannot be penned, the next shitstorm would still be USA mains complaining about their turret ring and no track armor lol German main and USSR mains isn’t known to make a lot of noise these days, so I don’t expect any difference even when Merkavas suddenly become the top dog.
The Russian Kornet missile, which can penetrate 1200 mm of armor, could not penetrate the side armor of Merkava mk4.

How do you know it was a kornet
From military sources
Cornet missiles were widely used in the 2006 Lebanon war.
This doesn’t mean that the tank on the photo was hit by a kornet, sounds a bit BS that the side protection of any tank could be equivalent to more than 1200mm of steel
Maybe they got a “lemon” unit of cornet missiles that fails to full detonate lol
I don’t care if you believe it or not.
The images are proven.
It’s not that I don’t believe it, you simply didn’t provide enough evidence you can’t really tell from that photo if the hole was caused by a kornet, I’m a civilian not a military expert nor are you I suppose, so it’s really impossible to tell. Anyway even if this was true I don’t think that it would be implemented because it will completely screw game balance. This is still a GAME after all.
Maybe it was a Panzerfaust
Ok then it was a bazooka lol
Bro if you don’t have military information, you can refer to related sites and ask them and see that I am telling the truth. I see no reason to waste my time and lie.
Merkava armor is somewhat secret, but according to some pictures, you can understand to some extent how much it is. Rest assured that the armor in the game is completely fictional.
Maybe some rpg
I agree it should be buffed, same for the MK3
issue is that kornet penetration currently its incorrect according to some russian sources after converting penetration to nato penetration its left to 960 mm of pen, and not only that but that defo seems like a penetration, also another thing SLERA its more adept at handling chemical over kinetic so both of values should be separated and get an aproximate of the effectiveness against kinetic appart from chemical
Yeah
gaijin will continue to just pump and dump Russian/German premiums into the game. that’s all they care about I feel like at this point. every update that has come out now has majority of the time been nothing but premiums being pushed into the game. they put little effort into putting things into the ground TT or even so much as a new spaa for Israel, but every other nation got if not 1 but 2 new "top tier ish’ spaa’s in the last 2 updates. gaijin is turning themselves into a sony and will ruin their game with all this pay to win premiums. and top tier ground RB feels unplayable with all this new CAS just being shoved in the game with no spaa in the game even being able to deal with it. the TOR ( china top tier spaa) got moved down in BR because of it. gaijin I plead you get your head out of ground and listen to the community

The TT AA thing with Israel is just stupid. And with the upcoming of modern missiles and other ATGs with 40km-80km which can be added, having a missile that can only go 3km and has 17g is just a stupid joke in my eyes.
The only solution is to bring a SPYDER AIO (Or SR) and fix the armor of the merkava.
But ofc, it is gayjin. A Minor nation doesn’t bring them money like American and Russian tech trees do
Lets do some comparison in the hull armor, lets take T-90M and compare it to Merkava Mk4.
Merkava Mk4: 170mm / cos74 = 616mm (300-350mm KE, 1050-1100 CE)
T-90M: 214mm / cos61 = 441mm and also ERA (780-850mm KE, 1180-1230mm CE)
Results:
Merkava Mk4: 300-350 KE, 1050-1100 CE
T-90M: 780-850 KE, 1180-1230mm CE
