Merkavas at 9.3 were stronger than you think.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F4U-7 (France)
BR Change: 6.0 > 5.7
Reason: The F4U-7 is nearly identical if not worse in performance than the F4U-4B in the American tree, which is at 5.7. Its improvement over the F4U-4B is in the CAS loadout, which means little in Air RB.
The most confusing change is the Object 435, is this thing even good? I mean the Object 122 is still 8.7 right? lmao
Mode: Air RB
Vehicle: The MiG-29 9.12/9.13 (all variants)
Change: instead of dropping it to 12.0 how about you give it R-73s instead?
Apparently it is good enough. Didn’t play it so can’t know for certain.
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: FV4030/3
Change: 9.7 > 9.7
Reasoning: The L23 has lower penetration and is lighter and less aggravating than the APFSDSs of vehicles from other countries. Furthermore, it must be said that the FV4030/3 is much less maneuverable (especially in Germany) compared to other countries. Its armor is certainly superior, but it also has significant weaknesses, and vehicles from other countries rarely have a difficult time with it. Therefore, we believe that it should not be changed from 9.7.
Mode: Air realistic
Vehicle: AMX and AMX A-1a (both on italy)
BR Change: lower 0.3 both.
Reason: bad performance and worse than a10 or su-25, but they spawn lower br.
Mode: Air realistic
Vehicle: sea harrier frs 1 and sea harrier frs 1 early (both on brtian air)
BR Change: lower 0.3 both.
Reason: overall they are weaker on the exist BR as the others
Mode:w Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: PGZ09
Change: 8.3 → 9.3
This SPAA is superior to M249 (BR 9.0) in everything
Mobility: 20 HP/T vs 14 HP/T
Effective range 6km vs 4km maximum range.
Armor penetration 127mm and 57mm vs 12mm for M249.
Radar: Track radar and optical tracker with termal imager vs old radar.
Ship position
Vehicles: Italy premium ships
Position change: RN Tigre and Geniere need to switch they position. RN Tigre has much worse performance.
So: RN Tigre go for Rank 2, Geniere go for Rank 3. Or RN Tigre BR need lower, to 4.0
Mode: Ground realistic
Vehicle: 2S38
BR Change: higher BR needed, 11.3
Reason: its just a joke how good is it at 10.3, HSTVL is worse and has 11.3. So need rebalance or change the BR.
So whats the reason behind moving the merkavas to 9.7? There’s got to be some stats/reasoning that prove this thing is too strong for the BR. But you’re just leaving other 9.3’s that are just flat out better/performing better there?
You are making a one tank lineup at 9.7 that will predominantly get put at 10.3 and 10.7 because you decompressed 9.7 so there’s no 9.7 lineups, or 10.0. In what world should this thing see a leopard 2A4? Israel 9.3 currently sits in 2nd place as the worst winrate 9.3 lineup at 46% WITH those tanks. What will it become now its literally three of the same magachs and a machbet?
Why would i ever bother to play through the 8.7 lineup now to end up at 9.3 with three of the same vehicle and then at 9.7 with one vehicle?
Mode: Ground RB
Vehicle: F-15J
BR Change: 12.3 → 12.0
Reason: Compare to F-15A, which is moving to 12.0, it does not have any precision guided munition (GBU-8).
Thus, they should have the same BR.
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: AMX-40
Change: 9.7 > 9.7
Reasoning: AMX-40 has excellent mobility, but its other performances are not as good. The armor is not at all reliable, as it can be overtaken by the HEATFS 105mm gun, although it contains composite armor. Its firepower is also not excellent. For example, the Leopard2K, which is often compared as a similar vehicle, has a DM23, but this shell has higher penetration than the AMX-40’s OFL120G1 and is heavier and has superior damage. Thus, the AMX-40 does not have the performance of the BR10.0. Therefore, we do not believe it should be changed from 9.7.
Can you please lower the second stage reload time on the Leopard 2s at once? 24 seconds at maximum qualification is too much, it should be more like the time it takes to replenish the primary ammo rack from the secondary (13-14 seconds per round) since 24 seconds is closer to what it would take to replenish an autoloader.
Can you explain how they’re strong and how they’re stronger than other 9.3’s.
Maybe it’s the size, wt players seem to have issues with little things. My stepsister said the Object 435 is in this picture, maybe she was trolling as I only can see Merkavas?
The Obj 435 is pretty decent but its not the best
Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Aircraft: Kurnass 2000
Change: 11.7 → 11.3
Reason: Israel does not have 11.7 MBT to play 11.7, aircraft doesn’t have thermal scope,
They are definitely the tankiest of all Merkavas due to amount of poor ammunition being thrown at it in that BR range. It has really good gun handling, thermals and a dart that ignore most 9.3 armor. It also comes with a LWS which is an added bonus.
