Merkava Ra'am Sagol and American Merkava Mk.3D Shell Fill Order is inconsistent with All other Israeli Merkava tanks

[Just_Baron]

The shell order shown below is all Israeli Merkava Tanks compared to the Merkava Mk.3D models in-game. As seen with every Merkava (other than these two Mk.3D varients), the Shell Order should start by filling the back right ammunition stowage before filling the left. For some strange reason, the Merkava Mk.3D and Ra’am Sagol fill both evenly, which can, and will, lead to a LOT of deaths in these tanks.

Really unfortunate, as it leads to experiencing ammunition detonations more often in my experience. Really hope this will be corrected in the future…

I already read somewhere on YouTube about the issue of ammo storage on the mk3d, apparently gajin made it for “balance”, it’s not a bug. Overall the ram seagull is just a fat glass cannon, don’t believe reviews saying it’s survivable

[Just_Baron]

It’s inconsistent.

Against apfsds no, it’s consistent in getting one shot, bouncing something is sheer luck

[Just_Baron]

No, it really is inconsistent. I’ve had moments where I sat getting shot by all kinds of tanks for minutes. The Merkava’s randomly absorb strange amounts of damage.
