You should grind them, Mk.4M is really good.
I might, but rn working on germany and proably japan next
Haha nice joke
I’m not joking, its one of my favorite top tier MBTs. They’re good if played properly.
Not exaclty 12.0 but we could also get the B1 Centuro 120
Russia tested it and a number of others back in 2012.
They are my favorite too but thats doesnt mean they are good
The merks arent good in anything
Not sniping not brawling and not flanking
They are just casual nato mbt but without any big strength
No autoloader no armor mid round and the unique aps is hella nerfed and bugged
Best playstyle is to just outplay ppl with good position and awearnes with sound and such
But in that case just take the type 9 or the leclerc so u have a strength
The Merkavas are decent at sniping with their high-gen thermals and LWS. Turret armor is decent.
You’d be surprised how well they can brawl, as shoot too low on the UFP (Happens a lot) and they will only get your mobility. Merkava can also sidescrape the loader side really well, so they can only take your loader or track at most while you can kill them. The Merkavas side armor is also pretty good, with autocannons unable to pen the upper side. If they shoot the lower side, a few rounds will pass through doing nothing because of the empty space.
The shell’s pretty good at 5s, having above 600mm pen which is great. Also, weight on 105-125 modern APFSDS doesn’t matter for spalling, you can watch Zenturion7’s APFSDS mythbusting video.
The armor is trolly - (Protection analysis lies on them, they’re stronger in game). They have pretty good survivability, however they are beaten by Leos (obv).
As for mobility its pretty nice, as they have the best transmission at top tier and a good HP/Ton ratio.
The APS however, is pretty bad. Its bugged.
I’ve played the Merkava 4s for a while and although it’s obvious that it’s not like a Leopard when it comes to gun depression, sniping is possible. When it comes to armor, I feel like it’s more of a ‘psychological’ armor, as people don’t know how to kill one of them as much as other tanks (they don’t face them as often). Pen is good at 600+ and some millimetres more wouldn’t do much (usually). Speed and transmission is something I like, as you can move fast both forwards and backwards. However, i must say that the antennas and high profile do matter sometimes as camping/hiding isn’t as easier as with some other tanks.
And sometimes shots just go though the whole tank without doing nothing to it.
So in my opinion, although they are not the best, they are good. I’ve played with the T-80UD and I hate the mobility.
Take a look at this (mind the FPS)
Well said.
The Centauro with the planned 125 could’ve been a great pick.

Gen 2 is a normal thing for top tier
If something its should get gen 3 and lws is nice but not something to go crazy more so on peper tank when u cant turn ur tank quicly to block shots like t90
That was valid before the air supreiority update with 2a7 t90m and spall liners
Just mid
Not bad but not great just to remind leclerc ,ariete, challys and abrams have 5 sec too so exept the leos its normal relaod rate for nato
Again that was the thing that made them playable before the new mbts
Type 90 have better transmition and yea its nice to reverse fast but its not a game breaker by any mean and u pay for it in top speed
And for hp/ton its average nothing special
My point is that evrything merkava can do other nato mbts can do better especially type 90 an leclerc which have similar “dont get shot” playstyle
Well, they do have a unique playstyle I prefer over the likes of a Russian tank. I personally consider them to be better.
I’m hoping Russia at some point Russia will put the 2S25M turret on the Bummerang 8x8 hull just as a one off prototype.
That photo is photoshopped
I know, I wish Russia would do it IRL so we could get it in the game.
If u like this playstyle then just take tkx and u will do better
It would be worse than the regular 2S25m already in game. Higher profile so its even harder to hide with the same problem being 4 degrees of depression, and slugish instant acceleration for higher top speed so its harder to play around flat cover.
It would look cool thats about it.
Coincidentally just got the Type 10, i’d say its worse due to the lack of acceleration. But I am loving the 4s autoloader.
Its bcuz u are stock
Merk has 23 hp/t when tkx has 27 hp/t
