SLERA has a chemical bias, but I’d genuinely like to see where you got this information. It’s hard to find much about anything. Despite the Chemical Bias though, it does still stop a lot of Kinetic penetration.
That is true, yes. However, Gaijin has improperly modeled the Merkava’s weight and armor in-game. There’s a bug report that’s been acknowledged for roughly 10 months now about this.
I don’t doubt that the Leopard has a stronger turret face, but I still believe the Merkava should have around 700mm KE on the turret face.
That of course also means the Leopard’s turret face should be buffed as well.
If Gaijin would simply increase the max BR of Ground vehicles to a minimum of 13.0, we could fix a lot of the issues plaguing top tier.
Might have something to do with the sheer numbers of US Aircraft and where they’re stationed compared to raw readiness rates. It’d be a bit short sighted to directly compare the two without acknowledging how vast the US Air Force is compared to the Luftwaffe.
TLDR: Gaijin needs to decompress top tier BADLY, properly armor modern Main Battle Tanks, fix known/ignored bugs with vehicles, and improve/enlarge maps at higher tiers.
I mean, seriously, Gaijin has known that the Merkava is 80 tons for almost 3 years (yet it remains 65 tons) and that the armor modifiers, which are worse than rubber and RHA on average, are wrong.
Leopard 2 TVM in Sweden had been equipped with C-technology armour which resulted in a ~550mm KE turret front, when the D-technology applique had been applied the protection increased to ~865mm KE (~320mm KE)
You’re heating a fire that has been put out. You are not needed here and are only causing drama. If you cannot read the entire thread for context, do not comment.
you are derailing it in the same sense how the russians try to derail eurofighter threads and try to make it about their stuff
just no clue why you do that to your own thread
Everything in the Namer and Merkava mk.4 family uses self limiting explosive reactive armor (SLERA) which it lacks in game. Overall the Namer and Merkava mk.4 should be on the same level as protection as the modern Russian MBTs, but I’ll never be able to prove it in a way that’ll satisfy their arbitrary historical report procedure.
Gaijin also has the wrong weight in the merkava 4s. the idf has a video on its YouTube channel and in the thumbnail it says that the merkava 4 is 80 tons and not the 65 which gaijin says
Why tf would you actively try and nerf the tank by adding an extra 15 tons of weight, making it by far the heaviest top tier MBT and crippling the Merkava’s already lacklustre mobility, not to mention the art of clickbait, a topic which has been around for years to make people, idk, click on appealing videos using big numbers and large statistics
