Merkava's APS is not working properly

I mean, all things considered, shouldn’t it have chemical protection at least? Haha, that’s what everyone says, ‘the Merkavas where built to withstand chemical projectiles blah blah blah’.
Surprisingly, the Namer’s APS has worked better than the Merkavas’. And the BR increase to the Namers is absolute nonsense but hey, who am I to question things? I just hope it wasn’t because someone was killed by a Namer and became a mad dog. The only good Namer for me is the RCWS-30, as it can kill tanks at close quarters (the Mk.258 just tickle the tanks) with the Spikes by lowering the turret to the ground and making the launcher shoot the Spikes without sending them to the Stratosphere.

I’m having a hard time spading it.

but the new t72 aps is intercpeting 98% of missiles, totally not biased

Namer is a big downgrade from the previous one, it’s unplayable and i couldn’t spade it at all.

been an issue for over7-8 months, its able to intercept HEAT/HE shells but it refuses to Intercept Missiles of any sort. This thread will get closed down like mine did, its pointless, they won’t ever fix it because they don’t care

They really need to give the Namers an extra belt in the hull, I’m SOOOO sick of losing all my ammo in the first few minutes of a match.

Not gonna lie, only thing it hits is dumb helis and lucky planes going straight from at least 8 km or you’re cooked. And if they move the missile just says nope and dips. Being the dead zone so ass you got a few km (if the target is asleep) window to shoot down a plane. Mi-28NMs basically deflecting any IR guided weaponry so you gotta take Derbies, which are absolute ass. And pray, that’s about it, just pray. I’ve gotten more UAVs than planes.

Because it’s Russian
For years they had the option to add the HVSD/ADAMS but they didn’t and they won’t because it’s better than the pantsir and again god forbid a NATO vehicle being compared to Russian vehicles
They removed so much armor from the merkavas and namers so Sasha can one shot them in her t 80
