Reasoning: The Merkava Mk.2D is a durable vehicle due to its armor and module layout. However, it is not excellent when looking at firepower and armor, and does not perform as well as a BR 10.0 deserves. I suggest that this vehicle should not be changed from BR 9.7.
Compared to those vehicles, the Merkava would certainly be slightly better armored. However, both Leopard1 and AMX-30 have excellent mobility instead of armor. On the other hand, I would say that Merkava does not have superior mobility and is less survivable.
Reason: Sure the missile is nice and all, but it’s still a radarless system with only gen 1 thermals that sucks at engaging helicopters (with no AA alternatives to deal with them).
It’s a system with pretty serious hard limits, it’s fine where it is.
TKX(P) - 11.3 as other type 90. not only it breaks the lineups for japan, but its also does not make any sense. TKXP is slower than type 90, carries less ammo in its autoloader and the only stand out feature is reverse speed that is never used to this extent and better optics. everything else is the same or worse
Air RB: Hunter F1 (9.0->8.7) Hunter F1 has a poor engine; it is definitely worse than cl mk6 or f3h. It should go against mig 17 & 15, f86
Air RB: Sagittarro2 (9.3->9.0) Since Ariete is much better than Sag2, sag2 should have a lower BR
I mentioned T1E1 90 and MBT in other cases I mentioned ammo and reload and br increase if it will perform like with XM-1 because with ammo and reload it could work at 9.7-10.0 , so nice try…
IPM1
11.3 → 11.0 or → 11.3
Reason: Currently it shares its br with the now better M1A1 since the M1A1 got a reload buff to 5 seconds while retaining better firepower and having an equal reload. The IPM1 currently would fit better to the 11.0 bracket
or just remove the 5 second reload from the M1A1 specifically and keep it 11.3
