Which would heavily imply that the 1B and 2B should move up. Because the 2D definitely doesn’t need moving down.

i can’t say the mk2d is a great mbt at 9.7 with the other mbts at 9.7…

63

then that would be an even bigger problem.

64

Though the 1B reverse gear isn’t quite as good. Still a solid 11.3 kph for that BR range.

my point is it’s one of the worst mbts at 9.7 in my opinion and the fact how it wont do well against the m1 and leopard 2a4 and their variants
you got way better options as a 9.7 mbt, that’s it.

66

And you can have your opinion, but the facts don’t support it.

That’s called a full uptier.

Unsurprisingly, a tank might not do as well against tanks a full BR higher than them.

and a full uptier is completely normal, i would liek to have a full uptier in 9.3 than a full uptier in 9.7.

68

Everyone would.

And a lot of people want their vehicles to move down, and the enemies vehicles to move up as well.

But those people aren’t being objective.

and i would like to implement it at the 9.3 line up, i’m pretty sure the only thing it can line up with is the sabra.

You can play it with 9.3’s. Plus the Tzefa D/E and hilariously undertiered Ayit, its a strong lineup.

71

well going back, i wouldn’t like to implement the earlier merkavas at 9.7 and going to 10.7

72

the 10.3 mbts are way easier to deal with than the 10.7 mbts

73

The T-64B and Shir 2, which you speak so strongly of, make their lineups with 9.3’s as well.

Its 0.3 difference, and like you said, the Merkava 2B and 1B play so similarly to the 2D.

edit - and the French 9.7 AMX-40, with 9.3 AMX-32’s.

74

probably because they got more options.

75

also taking 9.3 vehicles with a 9.7 vehicle is purely your decision, pairing 9.3 vehicles with other 9.3 vehicles is what i want to.

76

Not particularly. Israel is the only one there with more than one 9.7 MBT.

77

i meant more options at 9.3.

78

Then just play the 9.3’s

Israel has six 9.3 MBT’s to choose from. I dare say that’s enough options.

79

i specifically wanna play the mk2d on 9.3 because thats where it belongs to.

It doesn’t
