Here’s why: Look at the M1A1 from the US and you‘ll see that he has 400mm Armor on the turret and in the hull (only front), and merkava mk.3B has only 40mm on a few spots and nothing in the hull. The gun compared to the M1A1 is the same as the merkava mk. 3B. The M1A1 is 15 km/h faster than the merkava mk.3B. Gaijin, please.
