People: merkava actually weighs 80 tons
Dude, ever heard of the ariete syndrome?

ehhhh it’s a thin line that’s the issue.
SPAA should be inferior to jets (before anyone cries about that statement yes my jet that cost 6x what your SPAA cost should be better than your SPAA)
But SPAA shouldn’t be 100% helpless which a lot of Top Tier AA are completely helpless

a reward for intercepting airstrikes should be implemented, that way there is still a good incentive to play an SPAA with the occasional aircraft kill rewarding much more, keeping both relevant
7 tons of air baby
yknow i wonder why france gets an outright better F8 at a lower BR than the US
No band-aid was ripped off. I have been saying SPAA is no match for CAP issue that remains is how easy it is to use CAS when the Pantsir is on your team compared to against.
I dont think the merkavas were well protected, they were outdated and has reached maximum upgrade effectiveness by the 2000s. But this kind of protection is really silly, OHKd by 3BM22, granted mk1s were destroyed by Syrian T-72s who likely has worse ammo but i was playing the mk.3b.
Just dont say anything about the weight lol they clearly never heard of ariete syndrome.
Which came to think about it happened roughly a year ago
My stance on this list is as follows
USA: F-15E 13.7 → 14.0
USSR: TBD
China: J-10B → 14.0 after M2K, J-11B → 14.0 after J-11A
Sweden: TBD
FRA: Rafale C → 14.0 after M2K5F
GER: Eurofighter Tranche 1 → 14.0 after F-4F ICE
ITA: Eurofighter Tranche 1 → 14.0 after Tornado ADV
UK: Eurofighter Tranche 1 → 14.0 after Tornado F.3 Late
Israel: Ra’am 13.7 → 14.0
Japan: TBD

Battle rating 14.0 minimum
- F-15C MSIP II , AIM-9X instead AIM-9L and add AIM-120C AMRAAM (AIM-120C-3 & AIM-120C-5)
- F-15E , add AIM-9M-9 and AIM-120C AMRAAM (AIM-120C-3, AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7)
yeah uhhh how about no? Unless these new jets bring new weapons, there is no reason the F-15E of all things needs better weapons when it’s already LEAGUES ahead of the 13.7s as is.

They also seem to have a case of Russian space program if they encounter something that can actually pack a punch

jesus I dont wanna clown on US Mains but people you make it hard.
The F-15C was before this update, the single best 13.7 in the game and the gap was PRETTY BIG. The F-15E just came out and it only widened the gap further… this plane does not need a buff currently.
Well when I play them I got shot in the breech and die to crew loss never experienced a turret toss lol

That’s just gaijin’s… unique modeling style
Its probably just unlucky since this is a thing when I play CR2 and ZTZ99 as well, shot above the breech, crew KO
From what I read on this, that tank supposedly went over a large IED. Big blast beneath will pop the turret off just about anything.
I also seen a few people suggest the driver survived this? Absolutely no idea if that’s true, but it’s hard to imagine looking at that mangled hull.

Mache gaijin thinks the breech explodes into the crew compartment?
Unless the driver is inside of the turret cheek armor I don’t think so
