irl its heavier cuz 3m equivalent of steal from frontal perspective and build to withstand ussr round from side which is +/- 800mm equivalent of steal armour. My friend´s fiancé is driver, he was okay after got left shot from RPG on driver in Mk4M… so
“Modern Variants (RPG-29/28): Can exceed 900mm RHA penetration, capable of challenging main battle tank (MBT) frontal armor” → so yeah russian bias is hard on Israeli tree
“The Merkava 4 is powered by a V-12 diesel engine rated at 1,500hp. The engine compartment and one fuel tank are at the front of the tank and two fuel tanks are at the back. The new engine represents a 25% increase in power compared to the 1,200hp powerpack installed on the Merkava 3. The Mk 4 Merkava has six rubber-tired roadwheels on either side with the drive sprocket at the front, idler at the rear, and four track-return rollers. Each roadwheel is suspended by a separate helical spring with suspension arms for two roadwheels, each caged in a housing.” - Merkava 4

3 minutes on google Namer
Just ask IDF soldier he said around 60t with newest eq.
WEAPON SYSTEMS
The Namer is armed with a Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS). This system can be configured with either a .50 calibre M2 Browning Heavy Machinegun or an Mk 19 Automatic Grenade Launcher. The vehicle is also armed with a 7.62 mm FN MAG machine gun and a 60 mm mortar tube. An IFV version of the vehicle is under development which is armed with a 30 mm autocannon mounted in an unmanned turret. The vehicles are also under evaluation for being armed with a Spike ATGM.
PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Like the Merkava Mark IV, the Namer it is optimized for providing a very high level of crew survivability on the battlefield. The Add-on-Armor consists of a laminate of ceramics and steel-nickel alloy plates. Above this armor is an additional layer of ERA. Namer also integrates V-shaped belly armor to provide protection against mine blast and IEDs. The armor is actually said to offer more protection to the vehicle and crew than does the Merkava IV armor, as the weight saved by removal of the turret was added to vehicle protection systems. While originally intended to field the new Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS), due to budget restraints Namer’s are being equipped with the older Trophy APS. → “namer 30”
Edit*
“Despite not being equipped at the time with an APS system the Namer’s were struck on multiple occasions with RPGs and ATGMs without incurring any serious damage to the vehicles and with armor penetration or crew injuries reported.”
BMPT rockets frontally cannot kill namer or merkava mk4s
Greetings @Smin1080p_WT, I would like to ask if these Reports regarding the Puma IFV could be reviewed/forwarded.
1: Puma IFVs missing Spall Liners
2: Puma IFVs ERA underperfoming against KE Threats
3:Puma VJFT & S0 UFP armor is mismodeled. This Report was forwarded but i would like to ask if its still into consideration as the armor on both Pumas is still mismodeled.
The place to make reports is here: Community Bug Reporting System
Not this thread.
This is not a viable source. Its a wiki.
Workin´ on it right now, thx for reminder.
So 2 mins plus to find a match yaay
Forwarded
Lacks any values to increase it to. As such, cant be forwarded as is.
This report remains open.

Thank you very much!
Note: About the ERA lack of KE Protection, i couldnt find really any reliable source from the Manufacturer or PSM (a Joint Venture between KNDS Germany and Rheinmetall) that state its effectiveness. Some other sources state its capable on withstanding 30mm KE Munitions on its own but as the ERA was made for more CE Threats its not really known what it really can withstand against KE so i understand that the Info in there isnt enough.
Nothing currently to report, otherwise we would announce it widely.

Hope it will work, found 7 different sources such as motor manufacturer
Any info about the cv90120T weight increase?
Hi Smin, could you by chance take a look at this?

And event done. Probably wont actually play the B-52, but its a niche aircraft to have in reserve for the future.
But now I can play fun aircraft rather than the exceedingly dull US ones.
Buff the soviets you say?
