Gaijin is abusing the fact that some sources negate each other. Here is the information that says that merkava 4 weighs 65 tons on Israeli armored corps museum’s website

It it physically impossible for a vehicle that large and well armored to be only 65 tons. Something here is hella off.
Bruh im seriously considering contacting the Israeli MoD just to ask them and see how much it actually weighs

Do it.
According to gaijin the reason it has such crappy armor is because that the merkava is to big to weigh 65 tons and have good armor
I know, which is why I’m having issues with this.
If we can get the weight corrected, then the armor might follow.

Surely your manual says it’s an 80 ton vehicle, right?
That information is probably classified
even if it did i cant post it because literally everything in the manuals will put me behind bars lmao.
magnification on the scope is innacurate tho, but shhhh dont tell nobody i told you xD

Honestly im down to help write a mega report on the Merkava 4 and just put in it everything they messed up. I guess the only way is to shove it in their face again and again…
