65 tons? Yeah no. I don’t believe for a second that it weighs the same as the Mk.3…

The MK4M is 65T. At least listed. Estimated 65.5T which is what is used in the game. As this is basically a MK4M with some small changes, and since that’s what is listed, it’s a good bet it’s in that ballpark.

Israeli state media states 80 tons. Not to mention some claimed Merkava Mk.4 crewmen on the forums also say this.

Anyone with two braincells can look at the Merkava Mk.3, then the Namer (even though it’s a significantly larger and up armored hull, it’s missing the bloody turret), and easily determine that the Mk.4s weight is inaccurate. The sources for 65 tons are clearly wrong.

It very well could be. That’s why I say ‘At least listed’. 2.5 years after that report and they haven’t done anything so… As regards to this, the -400 submark changes wont add 15t to the mk4m so that issue has to be outside the purview of the MK4M-400 and a broader MK4 question.

is 85t

The problem is that the aps stats are clasified

YES PLEASE. And thanks for mentioning the upgraded armour. Btw do you happen to be in the discord server Shiryon Archive, OP?

Doesnt matter when the m3 and m4 series has wrong armor that make it peper

Forgot to type in great suggestion. Want more Merkava.

What if this can have like arcade battles spotting for tanks in RB and sim. Also 3rd person view in sim.

3rd person would be too much for sim, it would be way too much of an advantage. However TVD for GRB in third person might be doable, it’s already possible ingame (as has been seen with bugs in the past).

I was thinking something like that would be how the Barak could be added so it’s different in game from the Windbreaker.

binoculars should get stabilized and thermals
Maybe it can have the option to show the direction if someone shoots at you for longer time maybe even give him red outline

This is the next version up.

The Mk4 Barak.

I have been compiling a suggestion post for this, but hard to reconcile Gaijin on it.

But the mk4-400 does have the cameras and is compatible with some of the helmet, but it’s not in use with them as far as i can tell. Probably supply + some tweaks needed.

Pretty much the same thing as the 400, but the optics for gunner and commander are improved, as well as the helmet integration. 400 was a mid step between the 4M and Barak.

But this video does have one exceptional segment to it. As the armor is shared between the 400 and the Barak, we can see in this video the changes to the frontal turret armor. We saw this in the one that got hit with an IED where they added more backplate to the modular armor, then increased the angles and chonkiness of the bottom of the front turret armor. Notice the new angles below the midline. Its sharp and bows out. Looks great.

Yea… it doesnt look like gaijin want to change the merkava armor all tho there is tons of bug reports on it
i dont think 400 or barak will be diffrent
